I was in New York City last week. I didn’t even stay for 24 hours- just a quick overnight trip to go the MOMA.

After a morning of looking at them picassos and them chagalls, I was walking down 54th street when I noticed something strange in the lobby of the Lever House.

I look in the window but cannot quite make out what’s inside. So, I made the choice to walk inside. I was greeted with this sight:
