Day 7 - MoMA

The Museum was another place we could go with our City Passes we purchased early on and we were very glad we went. The photography, paintings and architecture displays were really good. We saw paintings from Van Gogh, Picasso, Andy Warhol and Matisse.

Like always we managed to get some great shopping done in the MoMA design store and we weren't too sure how we get some of it home but we planned to post things home anyway so we decided that we could add these purchases to those boxes.

After the Museum we headed down to 5th Avenue again for some more shopping and site seeing. I managed to get the royal treatment at Victorias Secret and it was the best bra shopping experience of my life. They measured me up and l thought l had to go around 3 floor of underwear looking for my size and picking things out to try on, nope. Into the change room l go that’s as big as my bathroom and the lady give me 2 boxes of bra's with every single style in my size. You simply try on and hang up the ones you want. Very great experience.

That night we went to a Mexican restaurant in Downtown where the only way you can get in was via people who know people. So a friend of a friend of a friend got us a booking for the 6.30pm seating and when Rachael and I arrived we felt very over dressed. The place was a Taco stand and we thought this cannot be it as it was meant to be underground. We go around the corner to another area and the guy tells us to go to the Taco stand and speak to a lady dressed in black near the door. So we go to her and tell her about our booking and she speaks into a secret squirrel headset and tells us to follow the path downstairs. We go down 2 sets of stairs and around, through a kitchen, turn left and there is this amazing bar and restaurant right at the bottom of some place. We were not allowed to take photos in there cause it's meant to be a secret so not much to show. The food was really nice but as most people would know spicy food does not agree with me and within 20 minutes l was in barn like toilets throwing up. We had to hold back on the Margarita as well as we had a 6am start in the morning for Washington DC but we still managed to sneak about 3 or so in.
