Going to the new Whitney Museum for the first time
The High Line
One of my favorite places to walk is along the High Line. It’s an elevated rail platform on the west side of Manhattan that trains ran on was used many decades ago to transport freight. For years it sat empty until, finally, it was turned into a park. Today you can climb stairs or take an elevator to get to it, and you can walk all the way from Gansevoort Street to West 34th. On a nice day, it’s not to be missed.
New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art
Here are some pictures I took during a recent visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I’m quite fond of the newly refurbished American galleries, where Washington Crossing the Delaware is displayed. David’s Death of Socrates and Van Gogh’s Irises are also favorites. I took the skyline picture from the museum’s roof deck, which looks out over Central Park.

Up the ladder to the roof
Here are a few pictures from the roof of my building — looking north is the Chrysler Building, and looking west is the Empire State Building.
Some articles from the dental conference in New York City
Dental Tribune published a daily newspaper at the Greater New York Dental Meeting, held recently at the Javits Center. I wrote several articles and took lots of pictures.
For one of the articles, I interviewed executives from Henry Schein Dental about a new initiative to help patients and doctors understand how all conditions, from oral health to whole body health, affect a person’s overall wellbeing. For another article, I interviewed a software developer about some patient communication tools he helped develop.
I also wrote a “things to do in New York City” article for those who traveled to the event from out of town.
