The apartment we have for the month we are staying in NYC is just the ant's pants and we love it. And it's only six blocks from where Kerrii, Seb and the grandkids live so it's very convenient. We booked the apartment through airbnb so anyone coming to NYC would be able to book it if it was available; we can recommend it.
Today was the kid's ballet classes so we went to see what talents they had in that direction. They attended the East Academy of Ballet which has been running since 1979; maybe in the future we'll have an Australian Ballet member in the family!
After lunching with the kids Kev & I headed off to see The Frick Collection housed on 70th and 5th. Internationally recognised as a premier museum and research centre The Frick Collectiom is known for it's Old Masters, European sculpture and decorative arts. Assembled by the Pittsburgh industrialist Henry Clay Frick (1849 - 1919) the collection is housed in the former family home, one of New York's few remaining Gilded Age mansions. With artworks including Bellini, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Gainsborough, Goya and Whistler it is somewhere not to miss if you are visiting NYC.
On the walk back to our apartment we called into the Trinity Pub which is next door to our place; just another day in the Big Apple!

We started travelblogging in 2008 when, with the parenting responsibilities of six children long-gone, we (Michelle & Kevin) left home for a three months adventure during which time we spent some of the kids inheritance! Having always loved traveling, prior to our three months away six weeks has been the longest period we've been overseas and that was mostly with kids in tow. Now officially retired (well sort of) I think we'll be taking up this traveling lark with a vengeance! ... full info

For all the years I lived in the USA, I haven't seen as much of NYC as you have already. Now you've got me enthused.

The Big Apple
Your NYC blog brings back so many menories. Every time I visit NY I cannot go past the Museum Mile and never miss visits to the MMA and Guggenheim. I agree with your comments on the Fricke Museum, outstanding and well worth a visit. Do try to visit the Cloisters, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where they have their medieval and religious collection, it is near the top of Manhattan, round the 200's. Catch the A train, walk through the park and enter another world - fantastic. Glad you visited the Natural History Museum, another must place to visit; I never miss it! New York is one place I love visiting, mind you it helps that my daughter lives there, three blocks from the Lincoln Centre so I don't have accommodation costs. Don't forget to get your visitor discount cards from Customer Service at Macy's and Bloomingdale's; they usually last for 30 days and give you 11% discount on most items on top of the sale price too. What a bargain - so you can shop till you drop!
