Roamed around Murray Hill today and happened to come across the Morgan Library & Museum, founded by J.P. Morgan. It was his private study and library until his son turned it into a public institution and museum. Morgan's study room and library are ruptuous in color and exquisite in their decor.

Had lunch in a very inconspicuous place on 58th street called Bella Vista, a pizzeria with only 6-7 tables. I sat outside and had fettucine alfredo de pollo (with very good sauce).

Saw Milos Forman's Goya's Ghost, a period piece that is a disappointment when taken as a whole but still good here and there. The not-too-subtle political satire and inability to push its main characters beyond the sentimental bog the film down.

Post-film coffee at Doma and read a little bit. Ended the night with food from Whole Food, on a bench near Central Park, listening to a guy playing Spanish guitar.
