Next Saturday I’m going to return to New York City to continue my exploration. I plan to visit two of the smaller art museums; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum<\/a> and the Neue Galerie Museum<\/a>. My last trip to New York City was pretty thrilling and left me feeling a slight buzz for a few days so I’m still not tired of the city yet. However, I will try to limit my activities to those two institutions. I won’t be running around photographing everything in Times Square.<\/p>\n

I will be taking the Amtrak train from Harrisburg again and I’ll probably even use the same Lexington Avenue Line, 6 Local subway to get near the museums. There is one bookstore I could possible squeeze in, Crawford Doyle Booksellers on 1082 Madison Ave but they are only open from Noon until 5:00 PM on Saturday.<\/p>\n

I’m reading another novel by Arthur Nersesian to gain insight into the culture of New York City. His novel “Chinese Takeout<\/em>“\u009d describes the life of a struggling artist on the Lower East Side, in Chinatown. This novel was written in 2003 and still reflects a Manhattan were poverty and drug abuse are epidemic even though Manhattan has supposedly cleaned up its act. Arthur Nersesian<\/a> was born and raised in New York City. He was the managing editor of the literary magazine, The Portable Lower East Side <\/em>so I trust his novels to provide a genuine glimpse into the city’s bohemian community.<\/p>\n

After this trip I could still spend a day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History. Both of those museums would take more than a day to explore. Then I would need to find something off the beaten path to do in New York City, maybe in Greenwich Village or the Lower East Side. I could just take a week for vacation in New York City but I think it is cheaper to make day trips. Five days at a hotel would be very expensive and far exceed the cost of transportation required to make the equivalent day trips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
