If you have time, today or another day, do go to Brooklyn and visit the Brooklyn Museum and the Botannic Gardens. It is a remarkably fine museum, the themes of the exhibits are quite diverse, and the gardens, directly beside it, are lovely. Take the no. 2 subway train to Eastern Parkway. When you emerge to the street the museum and gardens will be right before you. The museum maintains a decent coffee shop and I've eaten lunch there many times. Google Brooklyn Museum and see for yourself. Paul Charosh In a message dated 4/24/2012 12:14:11 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [log in to unmask] writes: While you're there, see the Transit Museum!
