Are you working in the field? There have been some interesting excavations going on in NYC.

And while you're in Brooklyn, you must visit the Brooklyn Museum. All of it is great, but I really love the fourth floor, with the American period rooms set up (giving you a look back at early New York and environs).

Then there's the Met and MOMA and the Cloisters and the Frick and the Whitney and Natural History. . .

A National Park Service friend used to sing in the rotunda at Federal Hall in Wall Street. It has been many years since Linda Russell worked there, but she has continued performing in the NYC area. Hers is a name to look for while you're in New York.
