wednesday!

today i woke up and went to a quaint little coffee shop near by with sarah and dani. i had a delicious cafe au lai (my favorite). we headed to the whitney shortly after. i thoroughly enjoyed the whitney..partly because i could cover the entire gallery in about two/three hours. i felt the museum was very interactive. I loved that each floor contained different exhibits. the life size cigarette butts and french fries drew my attention. i immediately pulled out the charcoal pencil! i loved that the whitney had more of an edgy, chic feel. the bottom floor contains sarah beth's. it is famous for its omelets and muffins! i got lox, so good. 

the met was huge. i visited "model as the muse" a temporary exhibit on the fifth floor which i loved because of the fashion. the met contained work ranging from hundreds of years old to recent work.  i got several good drawings in of  greek goddess statues. an intern showed us five of her favorite works as a group. the history behind each of the works was fascinating. after the met i went to TOP SHOP on broadway. i saw the gossip girls shopping (vanessa and blair). emilie and i went to dinner at an italian place up the street from our place. after dinner i worked on my sketchbook and popped in sex and the city (how appropriate).
