Saturday, we visited the international art fair, the Armory Show, at Pier 94. Above is a peek inside one of the more fun works. Can you spot Sofie? (Unfortunately, I forgot to make a note of what the work was called and who it was by.)

Perhaps it was my anniversary mood, but I was quite taken with this love story about Celia Cruz and her husband Pedro Knight, by Emily Brady in the New York Times City section yesterday.
