Not sure what was more stunning on that crisp Friday the Zaha Hadid modular space ship Pavillion for Chanel or the Autumn leaves in Central Park NYC? Given that the tickets were sold out at 8:15 (damn those early-bird fashion victims) and I can’t get out of bed before 10:00 on such day off, I will have to say the the winner was hands down the Autumn leaves. Of course a retched camera can never capture the beauty of those colors the way they were in that sunlight but it will have to do for now. The lunch at the boat house was the natural alternative at that point and once again it did not fail me. A very civilized way to dine on a day like that.
