Chagall in the City.

9-23-13 SHORT HILLS: We did another day in the city last Saturday. We went uptown to the Jewish Museum [92nd and 5th] for the Marc Chagall exhibit. Entry to the museum is free on Saturday, which was a nice surprise. There were many paintings from the WW II era with Holocaust themes.

At closing time, we went downtown on Broadway with no traffic and met Anna and saw her new apartment and met one roommate, Emily, and had a tour of the Village ‘hood. Everybody seems to be a young single, in contrast to uptown where everything was kids and strollers. Anna’s just starting her new job and enjoys a short commute on the 7th Ave subway line to Times Sq.

Expecting a short hop to lower 1st Ave for a bistro dinner with Roger and Leeza, we ran into jammed traffic, repeatedly, and it took a trying hour trying to get near the restaurant. Ultimately we parked and walked, got there, had dinner, and got back to the car just before the rain started.
