<\/p>\nSaturday we took the 7 train out to Corona . . .<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
. . . to the New York Hall of Science<\/a>, which I had never been to. I love the quirky architecture of the Great Hall, which was originally built as a pavilion for the 1964-65 World’s Fair and which was designed by Wallace K. Harrison (who also designed the Rockefeller Apartments<\/a> on 54th Street, the Time-Life Building on Sixth Avenue and the master plan for Lincoln Center, and was the lead architect for the United Nations complex):<\/p>\n This is one of the blocks up close:<\/p>\n The Mathematica exhibit (background here<\/a>) is vintage 1960s — and as quirky and retro as the dioramas at the Museum of Natural History. A really cool treasure:<\/p>\n We also played miniature golf at the Rocket Park Mini Golf<\/a> course, next to the Mercury-Atlas and Gemini-Titan rockets that were also from the ’64-’65 Fair:<\/p>\n At least one of us loved the cow eye dissection demonstration:<\/p>\n Took the train back via the 103 Street-Corona Plaza Station<\/a> (with a pit stop for a Mama’s Special<\/a>).<\/p>\n Sunday we went to Williamsburg to visit the Brooklyn Flea<\/a>:<\/p>\n Here are some new pages for Bushwick Inlet Park<\/a> (“inlet” is a horrible sounding word), the Citistorage Records Center<\/a> (which will have to move if plans for the waterfront move forward), and the Williamsburg Edge<\/a> (which doesn’t actually have any pictures of the buildings themselves . . . whoops!).<\/p>\n On the way back, we walked by the furrier on Manhattan Avenue, which we had read is going to close soon:<\/p>\n And back over the Pulaski Bridge:<\/p>\n Saturday we took the 7 train out to Corona . . . . . . to the New York Hall of Science, which I had never been to.
