Saturday was a beautiful, beautiful day. Almost made me think that winter might sometime end. Almost.
To celebrate the possibility of spring and Spencer finally being let off the legal leash for a few hours, we walked around the Morningside Heights area, an area of the city we rarely, if ever, visit.
We saw...
St. John's Cathedral:
Columbia University:
Riverside Church:
Ulysses S. Grant's Tomb:
and the thing Spencer was most excited to see:

| The Seinfeld diner! |
Me? I just wanted to see the sun and the blue, blue sky. #nofilter
I love St John's Cathedral. Did you know they do a blessing of the animals there each year on St Francis' feast day? It's quite the spectacle and a wonderful event.
ReplyDeleteJason got the complete collection for Christmas so we've been watching A LOT of Seinfeld around our house lately. That's so cool you found the diner!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a beautiful day!! We are hardcore Seinfeld fans..so that's amazing you found the actual diner :) Did you know that the real person Kramer's character was based on (whose real name is actually Kramer) does a 'Seinfeld tour' around the city on a bus he owns?! Although I love the character..I don't know if I'd want to meet the person he's actually based on, a little too cray! http://www.kennykramer.com/
ReplyDeleteSwoon, I love architecture like this! And pale stonework with bright blue sky? Heaven!
ReplyDeleteSo, I went to a play about U.S. Grant, and how he was BFF's with Mark Twain towards the end of his life. Twain actually published Grant's memoirs, and spent two years encouraging him to write them based on his feelings and emotions instead of based on battle reports. They sold more copies than any other book ever printed prior. Also, at the same time, Twain finished writing Huck Finn.
Anyway, that's your history snippet for the day...and now I want to read Grant's memoirs and re-read Huck Finn. And see Grant's tomb. ;)

I was literally at all of those places the day before!
