The McCain-Palin relationship would be Washington's answer to King Arthur and Mordred...
...small exhibit includes the artist's masterpiece, "Potato Eaters," and other night-inspired paintings, drawings and letters. See the collection on MoMA's late night (Friday), then hit Danny Meyer's Modern bar and restaurant next door for drinks and small plates (sit in the Bar Room). The Alsatian thin-crust tart with crème fraîche, onion and applewood smoked bacon is perfect with a glass of white. The Van Gogh exhibit runs through Jan. 5, 2009, then moves to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. 11 West 53rd Street, New York City...
