IRISH PUB UPPER WESTSIDE

CENTRAL PARK WEST

I couldn't believe the icicles - just hanging out on the rocks of Central Park. I squealed with delight to see them. I think Richard was generally amused, having lived in Toronto and seen far worse than that. I'm definitely a tropical blossom, unaccustomed to such sights!

AMNH: Hayden Planetarium

We visited the Hayden Planetarium and say the show Journeyto the Stars. Definitely an awesome experience. Click this link for a preview of what we saw. http://www.amnh.org/rose/spaceshow/journey/

HARLEM

A Harlem traffic triangle has been transformed into a public art project, with a memorial honoring the abolitionist Harriet Tubman.

The 15-foot, bronze sculpture, titled ``Swing Low,'' includes portraits of Underground Railroad users on Tubman's skirt, some inspired by miniature West African masks. Tiles around the base depict events in Tubman's life and traditional quilting patterns.

Plantings native to New York and Tubman's native Maryland represent the terrain of the Underground Railroad.

The sculpture by Alison Saar was commissioned through New York City's Department of Cultural Affairs
