Monday Tamar, Damian and I went into Manhattan.
From the subway we went to the Museum of Modern Art. Seeing some of the paintings that have been so much a part of my life in the City, I really felt like I was home again.
Damian's favorite painting was by Elizabeth Murry, a large colorful painting with many twists and turns. Murry had been Tamar's art teacher when she was in pre-school. Interesting.
Then we went into the sculpture garden and Damian and I wandered through the Richard Serra pieces.
and the city scenery:
After MoMa we went to FAO Swartz.
Then we met my cousin Jonathan and nephew Rob for dinner at an open-air restaurant, 70th and the River.
Even the kitchen was outside. And it was the best hamburger I’ve had in a long time. We stayed there until dark, talking, reminiscing about Marcella, catching up on our lives and generally feeling good. A perfect day in Manhattan.
