Sunday morning we really wanted to have enough time to get brunch, walk through Central Park AND have time to spend in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. So we got up relatively early and headed out to one of Ari and Paul’s favorite brunch spots. The place was right near the corner of 112th and Broadway, which is the corner that is home to the restaurant used as Monk’s Café on Seinfeld – well, they used it for the outside shots, at least. Still, being such a big Seinfeld fan, I was super excited when we walked past it.
The place we did have brunch (Campo) was great! We sat outside so that I could enjoy my last hours in New York – it was great! We were enjoying people-watching a little bit too much, though, and ended up spending a little bit too long at Campo, which meant I didn’t have time to visit the Met. We still had enough time to walk through the park and past the Met and it’s beautiful entrance. So, we headed off toward the park.
I think Central Park is one of my favorite places, and definitely a highlight of my trip to New York. We walked through an entirely different part of the park, past a large lake spotted with people in rowboats, past the giant fountain that has been in so many different New York movies… it was beautiful!
We walked out of the park and over to the Met, but the front steps were covered by a giant fence – I guess they are remodeling. :(
We hopped back on the subway and headed back to Harlem to grab my stuff. Ari rode with me to Penn Station, to make sure I caught my bus. It was so great to see her and she was such an awesome hostess and tourguide! I had the most incredible time in New York! It’s not somewhere I would want to live, but I could definitely visit there more often! I can only hope to have the chance to visit Ari again soon!
