New York City

[Praxis+Theodicy]

If we are still listing things we like about NYC, I highly recommend an eatery called "Roti on the Run" in east Brooklyn. Best Caribbean food I have ever had, and I've had it from a number of sources.

Walking distance from my house.

I visited NYC this Summer. Skated the Brooklyn banks, ran a lap in Central Park, ate hot dogs, pizza, bagels and cheesecake, marvelled at the buildings and had an overall great time.

Our church's youth group spent the day in NYC on Saturday. They visited the Statue of Liberty, and like all good nonresistant folks would, an aircraft carrier, and some other things.

Eaten there many times.

What? Didn't tell me? I would have met you somewhere.

We also like visiting Little Island on Manhattan's west side.

Nearby is the southern start of the High Line, another great place to see.

Then walk through Chelsea market for a bite to eat.

Then stroll down to 129 Spring street to see the Manhattan well where the murder of Elna Sands attracted a legal team of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr who successfully defended the very likely guilty client and set many precedents for the prosecution of capital crime in the newly formed US.

Walk past City Hall any marvel at the cheap cladding on the north side vs. the expensive stone on the south side because they couldn't imagine the city would ever grow past the southern tip of Manhattan.

Visit Bowling Green park and see the pedestal where the statue of King George was torn down in revolutionary spirit, broken in pieces and sent to the armory to be melted into bullets to fight the British. Also see the fence with the filials ripped off for the same purpose.

Visit the site of the Triangle shirtwaist factory fire that initiated fire codes and labor safety law.

Avoid Times Square.

End the day in Flushing Queens because that is the real "Chinatown" where to real good food is found.

No visit to the Carmelite Monastery at 361 Highland Blvd to see if the wall actually has glass and razor wire?

The Met museum is worth the effort for history lovers even if it is a bit pricey.
See the depiction Ceasar Augustus carved of himself, wearing the clothing of the gods, into the exterior wall of the temple of Dendor. Also note the notches carved into the facade by Christians many years later to support an additional roof and larger groups of worshipers

See a chair from an ancient Egyptian tomb, one of the oldest known examples of woodworking, complete with mortise and tennon joinery.

See some of the relics of the beginnings of the iron age from the ancient Sumerians (the people who traded that iron to the Philistines of biblical fame).

See a stradivarias violin.

See cabinetry made for the palace of Marie Antoinette by the Reontgens, a father/son team who were kicked out of the Anabaptist Church for their association with wealth and power.

See the paintings by the dutch masters, recommended for their delicate depiction of light.

See the medieval armor and the bullet marks as armor became obsolete.

See the furniture of Nakashima who first made furniture in a Japanese concentration camp in California during WWII. As a protest against the boredom and dehumanization of imprisonment he disassembled the army beds and crafted chairs and tables for his family. He made that model, the grass seat chair, for the rest of his life.
