As I was leaving work today, I realized that it was still light enough--and warm enough--to go exploring. (Thank you Spring.) So, given the circumstances, I did what any sensible human being would do. I walked right past my usual subway portal and straight down into Tribeca for some good old-fashioned urban exploration.
Highlights of my journey included:
Joanne Hendricks Cookbooks--a tiny bookstore in an old colonial house, books about food only
Johnson Trading Gallery--currently showing the work of architect Mario Dal Fabbro
Greenwich Street--a dream for any fan of vintage Manhattan
Barnes & Noble--where foreign affairs expert Samantha Power was speaking about her latest book (She's the one who recently called Hillary Clinton a "monster" and got kicked off of Obama's team.)
"Survivor Staircase" at Ground Zero--A vital piece of WTC history. It's been moved from it's original location to a new home at the end of Greenwich Street.
Alexander Hamilton's grave--my favorite plot of land in all NYC
