I've gotten a little behind in my blog. I hope all my millions of fans aren't too disappointed, but it's very hard for a little monkey to walk all over New York City all day and not collapse asleep when he gets home. Let's see, where did I leave off....? Wednesday.... Karen got up early and went to stand in something called a "rush" line... I guess she did kind of rush there, but then she just stood for 2 hours, so I don't know why they call it that. Anyway, we joined her after an hour or so. They were waiting in line for something called Avenue Q. It was a play with puppets, so I was very excited. It turned out not to be all I expected, but more on that later. After they got the tickets, we walked all around Time Square. It was very loud and busy with lots and lots of people, so I mostly hid in the bottom corner of the old lady's back pack. But she took me out in front of this restaurant... Sardi's. She says her daddy used to hang out there.... There is apparently a wall of famous people sketches so we tried to add me, because, of course, I'm famous, but there's too much glare from the street.


I have a new girl friend. Not that I had one before, but there is something about New York girls that made me all tingley inside....

It was horribly hot, so we didn't stay long in Time Square. We came back to the apartment to regroup and met the old lady's friend Tamsin. She took us for pizza at this great little place that was all about ME! Then we headed over to a place called MOMA. I don't know what that stands for, but it was full of all kinds of funky arty stuff. They wouldn't let me touch anything...


One of the rooms had this wall that had the words, “wall pitted by an air rifle shot.” The old lady and Karen looked and looked but could never find the pit...

After the weird MOMA place we went back to the apartment so the old lady and Karen could shower and change. I don't understand why big people feel the need to get wet all the time. I hate getting wet! Then we all went to see a play called Avenue Q. I was really looking forward to seeing it because it starred fuzzy people like me. There was lots of singing and pretty lights but then the old lady started covering my eyes so I couldn't see stuff and then covered my ears so I couldn't hear everything. She kept saying it was inappropriate for an innocent little monkey. I'm not sure what she meant but she and Karen shook there head in disbelief a lot....

  1. Did Minky try to take a picture of the Monet? It kinda sounds like Minky. My husband did once. The security guards were very unhappy.

  2. They actually let us take pictures of the all of the famous paintings, but they had one part of one floor that they said no photography. Nothing there Minkey wanted a picture of anyway....

    On the other hand, at the botanical gardens in the Bronx, where the Monet exhibit was, they indeed, would not let us take any pictures.
