We (Kate Aleshire, Dani Bothe, James Leezer, Jared Doyle, and I) started our Saturday adventures around 11 AM and met Geumbee, Katy Aleshire’s Korean friend, at the Subway. Geumbee was an exchange student to Katy’s high school several years ago and now lives as a fashion designer in New York! She took us to Korean Town for lunch and it was delicious! Jared and I used our chopsticks like pros!
From there we traveled to the Upper East Side of Manhattan and spent several hours in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When we arrived, the front steps of the museum were cluttered with people, but the line was not extremely long. Thanks to Geumbee’s observations and knowledge of New York, we only paid $1 to get in. The $20 admission fee is only suggested, and therefore, you are not required to pay the full amount. What a deal!
We walked all over that HUGE art museum! It was so incredible to see the many different types of art. We saw pieces by Van Gogh, Degas, sculptures from ancient Greece and Rome, and so much more! Naturally, some of the art we were not fond of and we skipped right over it. However, I do not think it is possible to really appreciate everything that The Met has to offer in just one day. I would love to go back!
We decided to leave The Met around 5 or 6 PM. Upon walking out, we realized it was raining, and rather steadily. We decided not to wait it out because we were tired and beginning to feel the pangs of hunger. Our rain walking finally led us to the Subway and we headed for the one that would take us back to our lodgings. We were wet, cold, and hungry, but we had experienced so much culture and history from the art that our moods were light!
Once we found our way back to the MNYBA building, Jared and I cleaned up before sitting down to a movie to relax after a long day on our feet.
