NYC trip

[gfish]

Getting into the last minute planning for my NYC trip, on which I leave Wednesday morning. I have a pretty good list of things I'd like to see, but does anyone have any non-obvious suggestions? I only just found out about the New York Transit Museum, for instance. You know me -- geeky, dorky ideas are fine. They're what I'm looking for, really.

Let me know when you're going to the transit museum. If it's a time I can make it, I would love to join you.

Also, you should consider exploring the 14th St station on the ACE&L trains -- the Tom Otterness sculptures are very cute.

As thewronghands pointed out, this sounds fabulous:

I have some suggestions too, don't worry.

There's the Transit Museum, which is excellent.

Lower East Side Tenement Museum, which I haven't been to, but I really want to check out.

I don't know how inclined you are to art museums, but MoMA still has their Tim Burton exhibit up, and a lot of good modern drawing up.

NYC Resistor, if it makes sense to show up (and Thursday is their craft night.)

Naked Girls Reading is doing a show on... Friday, I think? I'm not sure how I feel about the concept, which probably means we should go. A group of friends are going.

Sunday the 31st, I have an invitation to cook Ethiopian food along with about 10 other people (overlapping with the Naked Girls Reading people), and you're invited to that.

ETA: the mailing list of nerdy!arty goings-on-about-town suggests a video art installation party on Thursday night, and their weekend listings will come out sometime on Friday.

deeee! yes! and the mosaic at 51st st/Lex, but the Otterness sculptures are yet cooler than that...

Have you heard of the High Line (http://www.thehighline.org/about/high-line-history)? A couple of my friends visited it last year and said it was awesome, it's definitely on my list for the next time I visit NYC, and it seems like something you'd enjoy!

Oooh, I've heard about that! Definitely added to the list.
