THE FRICK & WASHINGTON SQUARE

Most of the office got home from Vermont Monday night so they took Tuesday off. Since I was one of three people in the office that day I left early in the afternoon. 

The rest of the night was free! So I walked to The Frick Museum from work. 

The Frick is the former mansion of Henry Clay Frick that houses his private collection of art. I loved it-- there was a video that explained his life as well as the history of the museum (I watched it twice alone because it felt so good to sit down in the cool air... )

All of the art pieces were incredible-- most of the collection was impressionist landscapes and portraits, which are my favorite. There was also a lot of Chinese and French pottery and dining sets that were fun. 

I took my time in the museum and came to the conclusion that museums are always best alone. Everyone finds different things interesting and it feels good to take some time to learn and think independently. I really enjoyed my time! 

^^ I always love walking past The New York Public Library 

From the museum I wandered a bit around the Upper East Side. Wished I was shopping in the five-story Flagship Tory Burch Store. Also wished I was shopping in the Kate Spade shop. I took a picture of the outside instead because it looked so beautiful... and kept walking (haha)

I caught a subway to met Alex in Soho to have dinner at the Chobani Station. 

Chobani Station is not just greek yogurt with sweet toppings like I assumed, it actually has more of a savory menu. It was the perfect place to meet Alex at since we've both been obsessed with Chobani flips while living together this past year.

It was my first time seeing A-Olp (who is no longer A-Olp) since her wedding a month ago! I loved catching up with her!! 

We walked over to the Birchbox store across the street where you can make your own box of samples. It was perfect timing before packing for my trip this upcoming Saturday! 

After we walked up to Washington Square Park-- the weather was perfect, which made the park extra enjoyable as well as beautiful. 

Later that night I met up with Stephen. We went to the Eately for a quick dinner and walked around the Greenwich area ... and also back through Washington Square Park-- also beautiful at night!
