Warhol, Warhol Everywhere // Boppin’ around NYC’s Met Museum

Posted by Arlu on Nov 11, 2012 in Art, Culture, Featured, Thought Bubbles, Travel | 0 comments

I was practically in tears — happy tears, of course — when I realized that the Metropolitan Museum‘s latest Warhol exhibition would be opening the same week we got to New York. Imagine, to be in my most favorite city in the world during my favorite time of the year, and spend an afternoon with my favorite artists… It makes me so happy to finally be able to share these photos from that splendid afternoon in New York.

It’s easy to forget how much work goes into making a pizza. These days, you can snap your fingers and have a fresh one delivered to your doorstep in half an hour (You don’t just snap, of course.

All the things pictured below belong to one man, Anthony’s dad Jim Cospito.  I have known him for as long as I’ve known Anthony — over ten years now — and I wanted to pay tribute to him by giving you a sense of who he was through these objects, and introduce you to a fascinating man whom I have been very blessed to have met and spent many happy times with.

Nothing hits the spot like comfort food, and there are a couple of places  Anthony and I know we can rely on, especially when we need a quick fix.  One such place is The Podium’s Chelsea Market Cafe, where practically everything is good on the menu, the food quality is consistent, and the vibe is always warm and friendly.

Finally, after an excruciatingly long wait, we got to see The Social Network, but not before a surprise stop at Elbert’s Cheesesteak for a quick bite. We have reviews and ratings for both the movie and the meal, then proceed to a little chitchat about stale contact lens solution and our views on Lady Gaga’s meat costume.  We end with a classic anecdote of how we, also in costume, got thrown out of Heidi Klum’s Annual Halloween Party in New York City.

Oh, and make sure not to miss Mister’s shirt, which has more buttons than a 7-story hotel elevator.
