Frick Museum visit

Notes at the Frick

No photographs allowed, seems like every space on every wall needs to be filled

Very many Gainsborough’s and Titians as well as Reynolds, Constables, etc., etc. Frick certainly collected all the great name brands and there were even more upstairs when we climbed up.

The courtyard

At least one guard per room. While photos were not allowed, I would occasionally ask the guard and he would sort of say they’re not allowed, then turn his head the other way.

The staircase to recently opened upstairs

For those not familiar with the Frick, there has been a five year $400 million renovation. The second floor had never been open to the public, but is this time.

This one actually from an artist we don’t know
Ceiling upstairs

There was a very long line to get in, and a separate line for Members. We joined the Members line and got in very early via NARM cards as we are members of San Francisco’s De Young Museum.

Dinner: Neil picked up items from Second Avenue deli:

A little late in the photographing. Formerly a knish

Remembrances of one of the readers of this blog getting sick on this dish at Katz’s

Final stroll in Washington Square, Park on a warm summer evening. And so this long trip or not so long trip comes to a smashing conclusion.

Another glorious day

    The Frick has a wonderful collection and the building alone is worth a visit. Guess we have to thank the robber baron(s) for preserving these works for our viewing pleasure.. Amongst the food being eaten, did I spy a hot dog?

    That’s a lot of hotdogs for the boogs! I ate one for breakfast today on oat bran ciabatta.
