The rest of our time was spent walking each day from our accommodation in the Jewish Quarter (with its many orthodox Jews) of Leopoldstadt, located adjacent to the city centre, to various attractions such as Momuk (Museum of Modern Art, showing inter alia a large exhibition by Black NYC artist, Adam Pendleton), Freud's house at Berggasse 19, the Strudelhofstiege (von Doderer!). the Porcelain Manufactory, the Kunst-Historisches Museum with all its many, many gems, the Albertina with, among other exquisite works, its overwhelming collection of impressionist art (Monet!!), the Arnold Schönberg Center (which absolutely inspired me with its well-thought-out exhibition).
The Jewish Mea-Shearim restaurant near our accommodation was very tasty and had a very fine Kosher red. On the last two nights (it was so good) we ate at a delicious, family-run Croatian fish restaurant, Briuni at Blumenaugasse 2. The 900+km drive back on Sunday took eleven hours, without too many jams and congestion, but I'm glad to be back home and off those horribly congested Autobahnen. It only gets worse from year to year, and I am getting too old.

I think I should adjust my grocery run strategy: going earlier takes so much longer I should learn to miss the middle of the show (I end up missing as much anyway)

same here -- i remember being in the area at various times in the 1970s, 80s (when i was first venturing into NYC) -- was kinda creepy, but i find the sanitized atmosphere nowadays even creepier (if that makes any sense)
worked in the area, too, in the 1990s -- i remember we were sent home early after the Rodney King verdict -- two coworkers/friends only had to go to LIC and Astoria, and i was headed home to Hoboken -- but the lines at Port Authority for buses going further out to suburban NJ/NY were insane!
and the steps leading up to a second floor at Show World that had flashing neon "Live Nude Girls!" on each step always killed me -- like what, as opposed to dead ones?

As I always did before tripping in I checked all of my 70 Chevy Nova's vitals & changed out the air filter.
Drove in, parked in a lot, drove home.
Next morning the car would not start.
