I've been back in New York - back from a few weeks at home after school ended - for a month now, and haven't had a chance to do much outside of my apartment, where I'm usually applying for jobs, watching The West Wing (as always), reading, or avoiding the cold. Otherwise, there has pretty much only been my usual time spent in the theatre district and uptown around Columbia. On Sunday, though, Meena and I hopped on a Metro North train from Grand Central.
We went up the Hudson line to Beacon, New York. Along the way, we had a view of the foggy, icy Hudson River. Just under an hour and a half outside the city, Beacon is home to the Dia: Beacon, a modern art museum in an old factory building beside the river. The quick trip was a great way to get out of the city for a little bit, and a perfect rainy day activity.
