The best bookstore in NYC, and then some
McNally Jackson, in Rockefeller Center.
It reminds me of Daunt Books in London — super smart titles on display, not huge but incredible selection, sections organized by country, and if you buy a lot of books you get a free bag. I walked in, not planning on buying anything in particular, and pretty quickly spent $500.
MOMA also has the amazing Jack Whitten exhibit, a freshly rehung 50s-70s floor (A+), a Woven Textiles and Abstraction show, and a Hilda af Klint show, botanical illustrations. One of my best visits there ever.
I did get to see Steph and Ayesha Curry at the Time magazine event last night (the first and only time he will have to share one of his awards with me). They are both remarkably charismatic in person, both individually and as a couple.
Sadly now I must leave town after only such a brief stint…
