A Visitor Comes and Shows Me New York. Day 3--Evening WAR HORSE!

War Horse playing at the Lincoln Center is amazing! I know there's a movie coming out with the same name, but nothing on film could compare to the horse "puppets" that took three people to manage on stage. For some interesting reading about these awesome creations, click here.

By the way, if you are going to an event at or near Lincoln Center, plan ahead! This place is like a college campus, and many buildings are not easily identified. Don't expect that one quick look at their website will give you everything you need to know about how to get there or where to find the ticket booth. And do start out early so you can walk part of the way in case the taxis are all taken.

A Visitor Comes and Shows Me New York. Day 3.

Prior to visiting St. Paul's Church, we saw this guy and his cat. I have seen him there before (and his cat). I wonder how much he makes in a day charging $1 per photo like he did with us?

St. Paul's Church, where George Washington worshiped and 9/11 recovery workers received round-the-clock care, was built in 1766 and houses displays that tell amazing stories of 911. We also toured the temporary WTC Museum just down the street. The 911 Memorial was already booked for the day when we tried to get tickets. Next visit!

We walked north to the SOHO area and ate at Mooncakes where three guys on bikes were kept busy delivering take out orders to the locals.

See the next post for our evening entertainment!
