MY WEEK IN PHOTOS: AUGUST 17 – 23, 2015! (PART 1)
My intern’s last week with us at the Getty, and my end of summer trip to New York City, baabbbyyyyy!! This post is mostly about New York, I’ve tried to include links to places wherever possible in case you want to check out any of these museums or food items! *I’m still tired from this trip* *It’s humid in New York* *Okay*

Enjoy!

(This is part 1)

Real puffy eyes to start off the week. This weekend we’re headed of to a mini-trip to New York, and I can’t focus on anything else!

My co-worker left these at my house, I’m holding these hostage.

Monday evening class, yeah.

Walking the pups after class and there’s suddenly a stove on our street…*free stove guys*

My hair is already growing out *cries*, considering dying the ends a coral color.

Tuesday night, Zach, James, and I head to the Hollywood Bowl

Seat stacker, mad skills

The LA philharmonic played the score of 2001: A Space Odyssey, I’d never seen it before was an interesting first time viewing

Fancy Hollywood Bowl bathroom

Attempting to illustrate an evening scene

Halfway through, looking for a really true black black that can stand as the mountain silhouette

All done!

It’s my intern’s last week, and I picked up a bunch of paletas for her intern celebration party

“Why do you only wear grey?” Good question.

I made her a little stats sheet, she was truly awesome!

BEAUTIFUL! (Clockwise from the top –> pineapple, mango con chili, mamey, coconut milk, coffee, and in the center, strawberry!

The card my intern gave me, we are on the same page.

Good evening, class.

Thursday morning at like 4:00 am…we’re catching a flight that leaves at 6:00 so we had to get to the airport by 5:00.

Flight to New York dirty mirror outfit

Tweedy knew something was up

Prepare for cloud porn

Clouds

Where is thiiiiis!

Here’s some of the Mississippi River!

Tiny puffs of clouds!

Pokemon and pretzels

SO PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting ready to land!

Into Manhattan!

The view of the Hudson River from Greenwich

We really wanted to get to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, but they closed at 6. There was over an hour of traffic to get from JFK Airport to where we were staying. So we decided to walk, explore the Highline, and then head over to Brooklyn (since the museum closed at 10!)

A view of the side of the New Whitney!

Delightful umbrellas

The Highline is a converted elevated railway that once was used by trains that connected parts of Manhattan North to South. It opened to the public as a park in 2014!

A little map of the Highline, you can see this stretch is a little over a mile.

Views of the city along the Highline

We knew we’d be eating a bit later, so we grabbed one chicken taco to share

“An open one!” Like that scene in Broad city…yaaaah

Humidity not good for my bangs

Area to watch the street, BECAUSE REAL LIFE IS A MOVIE

Giant collaborative lego sculpture

Windy highline

We made it over to where we thought the Brooklyn Museum was…but turns out it was a google map glitch and we ended up in this area called Industry City.

There was this beautiful little biergarten with bocce ball courts and corn hole courts. We had a beer, played some corn hole…it was a delightful little side adventure

Finally made it to the actual Brooklyn Museum!

Arcade installation built by Bast for FAILE: Savage/Sacred Young Minds

Installation by FAILE, a recreation of a Portugese temple ruin with updated graphical and pop culture icons on the sides

Native American displays featured these tiny little seals

Storage that is kept in a public-facing part of the museum, people can actually use these objects for study, but it’s also a way to show a behind-the-scenes look into museum functions. Coool!

Kara Walker resin/sugar sculpture of a “African Boy Attendant Curio (Bananas)”

Judy Chicago’s DINNER PARTY!!!! IRL!

Basquiat paintings, a nod to art historical sources

Wowow

Went for some late night wine and pasta, that felt very New York. It’s at a little place called Malatesta Trattoria, it’s cash only, and look at their no-frills website. You know it’s good. Try the mussels too.

Found this pinball place where you pay by the hour

If only they had SVU pinball

Totally different vibe than the glitzy expensive barcades in Los Angeles. Just a place to nerd out about pinball.

It was forecasted to thunderstorm all weekend, but this evening was the first and only rainy time.

Beautiful day the next morning!

Little coffee shop with the fanciest avocado toast I’ve ever seen

Important socks at the Strand Bookstore

18 miles of books! We were only meant to pop in, but an hour later…we had to tear ourselves away

Got a corn cookie from Milkbar!

Walking along the park to see all the museum sights

A visit to the Cooper Hewitt! (Design museum of the Smithsonian) Was eager to try out their new pen technology. On one side you can draw and design and interact with the touch tables, and on the other you can touch the pen to a wall label and “collect” objects to a personalized gallery online.
