Are you a dahn-suh?
If you've not seen this company, you don't know what you're missing. I happened upon them many years ago and see them when they are in residency in NY.
A visceral experience like none other. Still time to get tickets. http://www.joyce.org/performance/pilobolus-2/ |

Whales in the City
Because their favorite feeding fish is seemingly aplenty off the coast of Manhattan, whales are within view of the city.
If you've never seen a whale, you won't friggin' believe it when you do. Magnificent creatures! Check out these tours and get yourself an experience you'll never forget. http://www.gothamwhale.com |
Yesterday, I went to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum, conveniently located at Pier 88 on the West Side Highway. http://www.intrepidmuseum.org
