Read EVERYTHING. There is a wealth of amazing information about our ancestors here!
Great stuff.
My favorite part of all the museum.
This is a really nice museum down in th Seaport. It's not the biggest, but for $5 it's worth every penny if you're down there. I'm happy that it has re-opened, the space by itself is worth it.
Volunteering on the historic ships is possibly the coolest thing to do in New York City!

We came here for an event and it was wonderful! Beautiful balcony overlooking the water and Statue of Liberty. Pretty at sunset!
