The Tinman and I spent Saturday traipsing around the city, visiting sites on the Open House NY tour. The OHNY maps were hard to read and the Tinman and I hadn’t really planned out in advance what we wanted to see, so we only made it to four locations.

NYC2012 @ One Liberty Plaza: the headquarters for NY’s Olympic Bid. Lots of interesting maps and models. I can’t imagine how much of a logistical nightmare it would be to bring the Olympics here. Just the president visiting the UN for one morning is enough to bring the streets to a halt.

The High Line: it’s not open to the public, so we only got to look at it from a neighboring roof.

Mixed Greens: art gallery/office with an incredible wrap-around view of the city. There was a cool exhibit of life-size medicine cabinet photos.

Tenri Cultural Institute of New York: where the Tinman displayed his ability to read Japanese, which inspired us to finish the day with sushi at Japonica.
