The big apple-2


We spent about 5 days traveling about NY  riding the subway and walked our legs off.
Rush hour on the subway, standing room only!
Two of the more interesting places we went to were the Cloister and Carnage Hall.
 

The Cloister is a religious museum. It originally was 5 different medieval  abbeys  from France that were disassembles and shipped to NY then rebuilt into one building to be a museum. The building is impressive but the artwork that it holds is priceless. Well worth the effort to get there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cloisters
Another night we went to Carnage Hall to listen to the Orpheus Symphony. What a building and what a fabulous sound! It was overwhelming to say the least.

Finally you can’t be in NY City with out seeing something unusual and we did... I wonder if the US Post Office knows about their "new" mail box look!

Oh, and we found where Superman and Batman and all of the other superheros in Gothum shop, of course at the "Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co"! Only in NY City would you find something like this.


 
It's really a creative space for children to explore their imaginations on how to create superhero things.

Next stop, Snow Goose.
