Another half-price purchase, Quicken 2014. Been using it for a year now and it is a great program.

Staycation - August 25, 2008

Went to PS1 in Queens as part of MOMA admission.
Olafur Eliasson ,who did the NYC Harbor Waterfalls, had some interesting stuff.

Olafur Eliasson works at PS1 include: Take your time (2008), Reversed waterfall (1998), Beauty (1993). On view through September 15.


Beauty

Afterwards, a trip to a new BBQ place ,225 Park Avenue South
at 18th Street,Wildwood.

Great beer menu. Had the 20 oz. Anchor Porter and the
Abita Turbodog.

Carolina Pulled Pork was great but the BBQ Brisket
Sandwich was unsatisfactory.

The Shrimp Quesadilla appetizer was worth
coming back. I spoke to the manager about the Brisket.



From the Anchor web site:"We use specially roasted malts, a top-fermenting yeast, and only fresh whole hops, which are added liberally. All this combines to produce a rich and intense flavor with subtle notes of chocolate, toffee, and coffee."

Dalí: Painting and Film. Exhibit through
September 15, 2008. Museum of Modern Art - MOMA.
This was my first visit to MOMA. It took Dali to get me there.
The Spellbound sequence alone is worth the visit.



Real cool Olivier as Richard III portrait.



Nicholas Lampert Machine-Animal.




Lampert's Web Site.




Terrific outdoor Sculpture Garden.



Wine and beer available at the Garden.
The Coney Island Lager wasn't bad.
