from moma to rocco.

another perfect day in the city. a morning walk along the hudson, a hot cup of coffee & a free ticket to the m.o.m.a {museum of modern art}. we saw old friends, like picasso & van gough. de kooning & miro. frieda & matisse. oh, also rothko & pollock. just a typical day in the museum neighborhood.

the women in photography exhibit was recommended by our teacher,

so we checked that out as well.

and discovered the lady in one of my new favorite paintings.

{frantisek kupka, mme kupka among verticals. oil on canvas 1910}

after a 2.5 hour feast for the eyes, we moved onto a feast for our tummys.

sushi was just what the doctor ordered for dinner & dessert was even healthier, obviously.

another decadent dessert haven on bleecker street, pasticceria rocco plays no games when it comes to sweets. their entire menu is sugar-coated. cookies, cupcakes, biscotti, macaroons, tirimisu & other italian desserts i'd never even heard of {shocking, i know}.

so naturally when in uncharted dessert territory, i had to be adventurous.

my choice: suspiro, an italian sponge cake soaked in rum, stuffed with bavarian chocolate & topped with chocolate ganache & sprinkles.

is your mouth watering yet?
