This morning, my dear friend Kate and I hopped on the subway and rode all the way to 190th Street. When we emerged from the only elevator with an attendant in the NYC Subway System, we found ourselves in a sleepy little area. It was so quiet up in the 190s. And as we traversed towards the Cloisters, we found ourselves looking south to the George Washington Bridge. “Where are we?” we kept asking.

As you can see, we saw lots of Medieval art. And I highly recommend the Cloisters–it is a peaceful and quiet break from the chaos of the rest of Manhattan. I’ll definitely be back in the spring! And after our adventure, we had lunch at Cafe Lalo (as seen in You’ve Got Mail).
