This was a really interesting day because we got to see the book we’ve been reading come to life. We got to see the structures that Robert Moses fought tooth and nail to create. I actually have never walked down/through Riverside Park before, I don’t think I even knew most of what was there existed. I have driven above it many times, little did I know a whole world existed beneath me.
The walk to this restaurant/structure was kind of sketchy though. There weren’t really signs indicating which way to go, and there weren’t official sidewalks to let me know I was going in the correct direction. I felt nervous crossing the roads because I know drivers tend to move fast and carelessly when it comes on the on/off ramps. I would have felt more comfortable if I felt like I was going in the correct direction.
This restaurant was really interesting architecturally, especially the very tight masonry. I didn’t know there was still an active restaurant there, I would love to go sometime, although I can’t imagine how packed it is. I would also like to see it all clean and polished to see the full effect.
I walk and drive past Lincoln Center a lot and I always admire it. I’ve also been to the hall where the NY Philharmonic is for shows, and it is very beautiful inside and out. 
I didn’t really take many notes because it was so windy, cold, and raining, but I thoroughly enjoyed this trip and i’ll definitely be back.
In total, I walked about 4 miles this day.
