I'm back from my NYC and (more importantly) have recovered from my mandatory motion sickness every time I'm near a bus. Here is a brief list and quick comments or trivia the places I've been to:
Harlem: so homogeneously black.
Bronx Zoo: the polar bear looked sad because it had no snow.
United Nations: did you know that the UN used to be in San Francisco? It got moved to new York because the Russian delegation said it was too far away from Russia.
Madame Tussaud: Einstein! The 4D movie is also cute, but very random and unrelated. Also why is it called 4D anyway? It's not like you're traveling in time when watching it.
Harry Potter exhibition at Discovery Time Square: they claim that the stuff in the exhibit is the original used in the movie, not the replica. It was believable until I saw Hagrid's outfit. Is there actually a person that large and tall?
Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum: don't volunteer for a submarine if you're claustrophobic. Even if you're not, it's just a bad idea in general.
BODIES... the exhibition: I wonder who all of these people that donated their bodies were.
Clipper City Sailboat: it's a huge sailboat. That's awesome.
NBC Tour: the tour guide reminded me of Jimmy from South Park. He led us to the Globe Theater and said "what a lovely audience." After we finished watching the documentary, he appeared and said "what a lovely audience." When we crossed another tour, he said to them "what a lovely group of people."
Radio City Musical Hall: did you know that stages are controlled by hydraulic lifts? Apparently it's the state-of-the-art technology. The stage is very big and awesome.
Lincoln Center: the Koch theater is nicknamed the Jewelry Box. Again, did you know that stages are controlled by hydraulic lifts? Avery Hall, home of the New York Philharmonic, is also nice. There's an upright piano outside and there is often someone playing. It was nice to sit down and listen.
