Metropolitan museum date

it was quite a cold and windy day yesterday in new york.
so instead of skating in the park we decided to spent some quality time in museum. we have not been in metropolitan since summer (our last check was alexander mcqueen exhibition)

metropolitan, no doubt, amazing museum, boasting great collections of art but for me hermitage in sankt-petersburg still remains the most breathtaking  and beautiful museum in the world , i felt almost  homesick when i made comparison between two of them.


we headed to the new exhibition featuring the renaissance portrait from donatello to bellini, unfortunately photography was prohibited there so we couldn't take any pictures.
source- wikipedia
i was completely mesmerized by the  portrait of a young woman by boticelli. 
we also checked the collection of islamic art- metropolitan museum of art houses one of the largest and comprehensive collections in the world.

for a man that's a masterpiece of art



just a small glimpse on amazing collection....

we stayed until museum started to close for the evening - which is pretty late- 9pm. twice a week museum stays open until 9 pm - fridays and saturdays making it a perfect place for a date


it occurs to me that we should make museum night outs more frequently -especially when the weather  is against long walks outside.

Over the last couple of days.

 we are so lucky to live in such a nice neighborhood- the merge of hell's kitchen and upper west side.
 my beloved central park,  gorgeous lincoln center, hudson river, whole foods market, trader joe's, amazing stores and restaurants are all in the walking distance from our house, so is my hospital which i can see right from the windows of our apartment.
roosevelt hospital

metropolitan opera



akina is a one lucky dog to have her daily walks in such a nice place

our the evening was spent listening to a nice jazz music  in the  dizzy's club coca-cola
