The day continued...MOMA and more food.

Hi Joe!

Another classic Hiro pose.

Camoflauged.

Rose's better camoflauge.

Stomachs full, we headed to the MOMA. Unlike many, if not all, museums I have been to, everything stood out. The surprise of the visit was seeing Van Gogh's "Starry Night" in person, among many of his works. Other highlights were Picasso's structures, Andy Warhol's paintings, and a furniture exhibition.

Picasso's monkey.

Cool chair.

Rose's friend departed after the Van Gogh exhibit, so the five of us went to Ramen Ippudo for dinner, another place on our list. The wait was long - 90 minutes - but there was a bar so Hiro, Joe, and I had a beer and Calpico Hi while we waited. The girls relaxed on white square padded boxes which doubled as seating.

A sidenote: Hiro, Joe, and I developed a convention in order to rate girls in secret. It is as brilliant as it is dumb; brilliant because it allows one to discuss a rating even if there is a girl listening in the conversation, and dumb because it makes those involved sound like complete idiots.

Not that the latter is anything new for us.

We were finally seated. The restaurant's decor could have been a stand-in for a 4-star restaurant, even though it was a "simple" ramen house. The prices somewhat reflected this, as we proceeded to order the most expensive ramen, by far, any of us had ever eaten. It came out to around $14 for most of us, primarily due to the addition of pork belly, which I would argue is a necessity. The food was delicious, and worth experiencing.

This was the bar top...if you look closely the awesomeness will hit you.

The girls needed a rest, so they decided to stay in the hotel that night and watch TV. The guys, however, wanted to go out to once again experience NY nightlife, so we decided to go to two more places on our list: Please Don't Tell and Sake Bar Decibel.
