HI GUYS!
Today, I went to the Bronx Zoo.
I saw baby lions.
What is not to love?
I took about 400 pictures
The best of the best will be on my Flickr.
The Bronx Zoo is a beautiful zoo, obviously, I had a great time.
Photos from the gallery walk are on my flickr now too.
I expect zoo pictures to be up later tonight or this week.
ENJOYING SPRINGTIME IN NYC!
Have a wonderful day! :)

2010 Madison Avenue Gallery Walk
HEY GUYS!
Wow, its been almost exactly a month since my last post. Sorry! I haven't really been doing anything interesting lately. However, I did do something pretty interesting today, because it was FREE and in MANHATTAN. Today (May 15, 2010) was the 2nd annual Madison Avenue Gallery walk running from 57th and Madison all the way up to 83rd. This event was alot of fun and it was for a good cause! First, let me give you a desciption of what the event was about.
The Madison Avenue Gallery Walk is an event where most of the high end galleries on Madison Avenue in the Upper East Side of Manhattan are open and any artwork bought from a partcipating gallery donates a portion of the proceeds to NYC Public Schools. This event gives regular people a chance to go into high-end galleries and not feel so intimidated. On the otherhand, the artwork is expensive. For example, there was a gallery of photographs in the Hermes store and another that sold classic Tiffany jewlery and another that sold ORIGINAL PICASSO'S! Also, most of the galleries required that you rang a doorbell to enter which made me feel like I was entering a space where I didn't really belong.
Anyways, there were a lot of really beautiful galleries that were really interesting to look at. This reminded me of the annual Museum Mile Festival (This event is coming up soon; I will be attending again this year.) where you could go into a museum-like space for absolutly no cost.
Overall, next year you might find some of the stuff interesting. And besides that, there are plenty of luxury fashion retail stores you can peek into. This event is also great for people watching. Today, I saw the EXACT kind of people you think of when you think of the Upper East Side. It was really fun to watch. Today was a beautiful day and I hope you all got some fresh air!
Tomorrow, I'm going to the Bronx Zoo to see the three new lion cubs! I'll definitly be posting about that along with pictures on my Flickr.
