A Tourist at The Metropolitan Museum of Art NYC! DoTube's Pick Of The Week
Someone once said that you're not a real New Yorker until you have lived in New York for at least ten years? Well, I moved to Staten Island about nine years ago, so I guess according to them I'm still a tourist? Thank God! You really can't have any real fun without acting like a tourist even if it's in your own town!
We all understand the concept of blending in your atmosphere, no matter how beautiful your surroundings are, you become blind to it and miss all the beautiful details that only a tourist will notice! That's why a blogger/vlogger needs to have tourist mindset and a tourist's eye to capture all the fun stuff that a resident may overlook!
So I decided to take advantage of being a tourist for one last year before I become an official resident of N.Y. My first stop is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the world, a place where people can go and be a professional tourist together, a place where I could fit right in!
( The Metropolitan Museum of Art aka The Met ) right in the heart Of New York City!
So last December, my wife and I decided it would make a great 46th-year anniversary, gift for my mom and dad to take them to The Met, for the afternoon, and dinner at the hottest new restaurant in NYC, Mastro's! Which I will be doing a review on next week and I will place the link here! Mastro's Steakhouse They were pretty ecstatic about the plans and to tell the truth so was I! Oh, by the way, don't look for any pics of my wife or parents because they are camera shy! I swear I must be adopted?

And since I never been there before I decided to take my best friend the CANON T4I Rebel with me so all my fans, friends & family can be a professional tourist with me. Now, of course, this is only 10% of what you could see and experience with all the culture, history, and great stories, and because they have a new exhibit every month, I would definitely suggest you see it for yourself. But until then sit back relax and enjoy!

I swear! Walking up the stairs had my heart skipping a beat! To think of all the famous and influential people that have walked up these stairs? And to be surrounded by individuals from around the world! We met people from Yugoslavia, Argentina, and Macedonia! So how could I contain myself from being overwhelmed with anticipation and excitement on what we're about to experience! Let's face it, this is not Disney Worlds Epcot Center, where everything is an exact copy of places and atmospheres, this is the real deal! The history, the culture and actual artifacts from a society that existed centuries ago! OK, I JUST GOT MYSELF EXCITED AGAIN! So let's go in.
The great thing about The Met is they give you a choice to either pay the suggested price of admission which is $25.00 a person or whatever donation you would like to give with no questions asked!
Now despite all the excitement, I'd like to give you fair warning before you go any further! I'm not trying to pretend to be some great historian that can give you all the details about every item in The Met, the description box with the history of each piece were a foot long and a foot wide! We had reservations at 8 pm for dinner which made it impossible to document any of the histories of the individual items. So I'm going with the old saying, a picture says a thousand words and with the new digital age saying, a video on YouTube is forever! So make sure YOU watch the video tour with great footage and classical music at the bottom of the blog!
