Museum of Natural History

We spent the entire day Monday at New York's Museum of Natural History. And still did not see it all. Really. We got there when they opened at 10:00 and stayed until they closed. The dinosaur exhibit is the best I've ever seen, with real bones, not plaster casts. The origin of the human species exhibit is also very good, including fragments of an early human named "Lucy." We ate in the museum's cafeteria (no choice, since they do not allow you to bring food in). It was OK but rather expensive. This museum could easily monopolize a couple of days. The admission is "suggested," and you can barter with them over how much you want to pay. But the special exhibits are an additional fee. We paid to see the Space Show, which wasn't much more than a video clip with Whoppie Goldberg narrating. After the museum we ate at Katz' Deli (the famous scene in When Harry Met Sally was shot here) and then over to a dessert place recommended by our tour bus guide. I got strawberry shortcake Laura got an individual cheescake, and Garold of course got Tirimisu.
