the cloisters

today, marissa and i decided to go to the cloisters. we had heard about them, but really had no idea what to expect. we were pleasantly surprised. the museum was built to house medieval art and architecture. the gardens were beautiful. the collection was impressive. i loved the stained glass, the tapestries, the valencian lusterware, the annunciation triptych by robert campin, jean pucelle's the hours of jeanne d'évreux and the limbourg brother's les tres riches heures.

afterwards we strolled through fort tyron park and then made our way back down to central park where we were captivated by the turtle pond and analyzed the weather from belvadore's castle. and by that time we were starving, so we made our way to shake shack. shake shack has never tasted better to me than it did today. shack shake's fries are a perfect addition to their burgers. i do believe the crinkle in the fries enhances their flavor. and their concretes are a perfect addition to their fries. it was a perfect tri fecta.
