In the end, it took for Jennifer to have a conference in DC for us to use this as an excuse for us to go to NYC after that. I went to spend the weekend with Daniel in Brooklyn where he hosted me (thanks Daniel). Daniel and I went to visit the local Brooklyn Transit Museum, History Museum, and Botanical Gardens. The transit museum had the history of subways in Manhattan, and that was pretty cool. We went to see the Brooklyn Bridge at night
The Natural History Museum has an insane amount of things to see. Along with the special expositions, it's tough to do it in one day, never mind half a day, but we got the highlights:
who knew that birds come from dinosaures?

Cathedral of St John the Devine
I tried a couple of panoramas with my ICS phone
This looks like a practical car for NYC
Little Italy is still there next to Chinatown
