A photo
A nice shot to start the week off right. Looking north up Lexington Avenue from 28th street in Murray Hill. Notice all of the parked taxi cabs...you never really see taxis parked but they are here because there are tons of Indian restaurants in this area and taxi drivers have to eat too! You can also see the Chrysler Building!

Taken from the top of the Kimmel Student Center. Includes pretty much every building that comes to mind when you think of New York.

Center for Architecture Future Cities Exhibit
On Laguardia & Bleeker streets, near NYU, there is a free museum/exhibit space dedicated to architecture all around the world. I wondered in there the other day and checked out their current exhibit about how each of 10 different world cities will change and will look like in the next 1-2 decades. Pretty interesting!

Hudson River Park
A view of midtown take from the end of the pier.
Looking out towards the Hudson River. The park basically consists of an old shipping pier that they converted into a park by planting grass, adding a walking path, and placing some benches.
Downtown Manhattan on the left of Jersey City on the right...closer than most people think.

NYU mystery concert featuring Big Boi & Dr. Dog !
This year, Big Boi from Outkast headlined NYU's mystery concert held at the Skirball Center inside the Kimmel Center. He played for more than an hour and went through a ton of hits including material from both Outkast and his solo projects. The best part of the show was when his 8 year old (?) son came on stage and danced for 3 songs in the middle of the show. So much energy and definitely one of the most fun concerts I've been to in months. A nice way to start the school year again and oh yeah...it was free!
The band Dr. Dog started off the show with a great performance of their catchy rock style. I never really listened to them before but I am definitely going to start to.

SpaCastle !
Yesterday a bunch of friends and I took a day off from the "hustle and bustle" of the city to head to experience a place we had wanted to visit for months. Spa Castle is located an hour outside of Manhattan (take the 7 train until it ends) in Flushing, Queens and is a unique combination of European and Asian styles of spas. Their complex is five stories tall, over 100,000 square feet in size, features 8 different saunas, and 4 pools. They also have a gym, a restaurant, massage rooms, and a number of other amenities. I have to say that I'm not really a spa person but this was definitely a place worth checking out if you're looking for something entirely different in New York and have a spare day.
One of the pools, featuring a number of places to sit and relax.
A few of the different sauna chambers, each was a different temperature usually between 100 and 185 degrees Fahrenheit. There was even a "cold sauna" that was kept around 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yes, they even had a nap room filled with giant reclining chairs each with their own TV.

toy story 3
I saw TS3 last night and all I can say is "wow". By the end of the movie, I was nearly in tears from being both happy and sad at the same time. I have to say this was the best installment of the Toy Story trilogy. Pixar couldn't have done a better job with the plot and ending. I was impressed.
