Art and Lunch

 This past weekend my family and I visited the Philadelphia Museum of Art's Dancing Around The Bride.  The exhibit features works by John Cage (composer), Merce Cunningham (choreographer ), Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg (visual artists) and pays tribute to Marcel Duchamp's influence as one of the most important artists of the 20th Century. Luckily, we happened to be there right around the time that the Cunningham Dancers performed while occasional notes were played on the piano blending the visual and performing arts together. January 21 is the last day to experience the artistic collaboration of these five artists under one roof.

After the show, we were lucky enough to happen upon Granite Hill, a Stephen Starr restaurant located on the ground floor of the museum. Below is a picture of my frisee salad with poached egg and warm butternut squash in a creamy lemon dressing. Perfection. We loved having such a quiet and civilized lunch so we could discuss the exhibit of course!
