Upper West Side

In Central Park, everybody jogs. 70+ white-haired lady with iPod in her hears, young mom pushing the stroller (with twins), fully muscled bare-chest African-American, overweight French-speaking couple carrying their backpacks. And squirrels.
Maybe I should go too. Mò vediamo...
In the meantime, and waiting for conference dinner, let's do the Museum of natural history, where dinosaurs are huge and where a simple display of fossils becomes a political statement in favour of evolution theory. And where you get free internet and a plug point  to recharge battery - at least until the guard notices what you're doing.
Also got hotdog, oversized coke, Starbucks tall-something, flip-flops and gave directions to tourists on my first day here.
