much. That's when I saw Judith Schaechter's work in the Claire Oliver gallery which is pretty close to the Highline itself.

Hey man!

Frank Stella Retrospective

The Whitney Museum was cool. It had moved from its previous locale which frankly I don't know where it is.

Beautiful outdoor eating area and a really nice presentation. Someone said it reminded them of the

Barnes at its new location.  After that we split a cab ride because both of us had to catch train/buses
