Wipe that incredulous look off your face! I’m telling you, there is inspiration to be found at the Time Warner Center. First of all, there are always the views of Columbus Circle and Central Park from the higher floors. Then there’s the ginormous (and tempting!) Fernando Botero sculptures. And now, thanks to a collaboration with Galerie Elysees, there is an extraordinary exhibition throughout the mall of rare original artwork by Salvador Dalí. These 18 sculptures and 40+ drawings, watercolors, collages and studies of paintings have never been seen in New York before, and they are seriously worth a look. Those famous melting clocks have an entirely novel effect in 3-D.
While you’re here at the ol’ TWC, treat yourself to brunch at Bouchon Bakery. Chef Thomas Keller is a master of French cuisine, so you can’t go wrong with the quiche du jour or tartine au thon. My fave, though, is the tomato soup & grilled cheese sandwich (san marzano tomato soup with grilled fontina & gruyère cheese on pain au lait. YUM!). Don’t have the time to sit down for a leisurely meal? Swing by their take-away window, and make sure you throw in a Nutter Butter cookie for dessert. It’s two peanut butter cookies sandwiching creamy peanut butter filling, and it’s beyond good.
