We woke up to a rainy day, so decided to do some museums. By the time we left the hotel it was only a very light drizzle so we took a nice long walk through Central Park to the Museum of Natural History on the Upper West side. We spent a great couple of hours exploring the museum before ambling back through Central Park to the Guggenheim Museum. The architecture of this art museum is modern, white, clean and impressive. The modern art inside was however beyond us plebs and unless you are into this type of art, don’t waste $25 to look around. I much preferred our recent visit to the botanical art exhibition at the Everard Read Gallery and that was free, with wine.
We bought hero rolls and ate them on the steps of the Met Museum, while watching the Puerto Rican Day parade. 5th Ave had been completely blocked off for the parade, with a huge police presence. We struggled to find a crossing to walk the ½ block back to our hotel.
Our phone app informed us we had walked over 10km today. We had an early night.

So funny! We were in NYC when it was Puerto Rican Day.
