The American Museum of Natural History: an impressive dinosaur skeletons, a life-size model of a blue whale hanging from the ceiling, the annual Butterfly Conservatory exhibit… Kids LOVE this museum.

A marvelous melding of art and history, Central Park NYC is the long awaiting new volume from artists/authors Andrew Zega and Bernd H. Dams.

Checker taxi cabs on 34th Street. I found Dad's diary and he wrote on August 16, 1938: “We swung across town and in a bit were on the Henry Hudson highway leading south. And believe it or not, first thing you know we were once again at the Hotel New Yorker. On the way down, we had a thrill as we passed by a huge ocean liner, all lit up, as it lay at the dock. It was the Normandie.”
