Back from the Big Apple

I had a fun, tiring weekend in Manhattan. Went to a few places that were definitely worth the hype:

• Hotel QT - Still "under construction," but what's there so far is way cool. The rooms are "cozy" but stylish with lusciously soft beds. The staff is friendly and helpful. The pool would be a gem even without the swim-up bar.
• The new MoMA - At least a full day's activity. Obviously designed by people who love design, from the airy, sunlit interior to the ruthlessly efficient, yet delicious and relaxing Cafe 2.
  
• Una Pizza Napoletana - Perfect pizza. Well worth the wait and the price.
• Papaya King - They can't franchise fast enough for me.
  

"The Crackers"

Via Crooked Timber, this art hits the spot for me, and almost makes up for traveling to NYC a few weeks late to see "The Gates" (pro: also orange!, con: less snackable!)
