New York - Day Two moreish ...

After lunch at Bouchon, we wandered away from Columbus Circle and found Petrossian Boutique, which was on our map. I didn't even have time to get a proper photo of the entrance before someone was up the steps and in. Here's a map to help you.


Inside they had one side dedicated to seafood and caviar, and the other side was pastries and chocolates. They had some delicious looking tarts in the window.


We walked down the edge of Central Park to the little park with Pultizer Fountain in it. The Plaza Hotel's entrance opened onto the park.


The was a sculpture display in the fountain of an interpretation of the Chinese Zodiac symbols.


The amount of detail in some of the sculptures was incredible.


The dragon was cool too.


I was also playing around with the tilt shift lens that I'd borrowed, (Thanks Steph).


We then walked north up 5th Ave to the Frick Collection. We were very disappointed that we were informed after we had paid our entrance fee, that there was no photography allowed. Hence this surreptitious photo of the ceiling. ;)


After looking at the small, lifeless, disappointing collection at the Frick, (no, no bitterness there), we walked back down 5th Ave and some of the side streets looking at the buildings and the fashion. Of course ... ;)


I think this was a Jewish church.


Some of the gardens outside the apartment blocks were immaculate.














The Flamingo dress was cool.


We ended up in one of the department store, "To escape the heat." or so I was told. This girl was marking out a very good optical illusion. If you look closely the door is actually in a corner.


I spotted these two, they were both shopping and the lady on the left is the other one's doctor, and they were discussing how she had an allergic reaction to her last treatment of Botox injections. Ugh.


Here's a teaser for the next post. ;)
