I'm not from New York. I've visited a lot of local sites, some repeatedly (I live by the Cloisters so that is my most visited museum, not only in NYC, but ever). Some I have no urge to see. Some are on my list to see.
Near the top of the list--the top?--is the UN. It is one of the things that inspires people to call NYC the capital of the world. It is an independent piece of land, ruled by no government, which is unique in the world, unless you count Antartica. In addition, it lies on E 46th St in Manhattan, just east of Grand Central.
Another professor at the school, Gail O'Connel (also a non-native New Yorker), and I were thinking we should invite some students to go with us. If we have 12 or more people, we can reserve a time and we will not have to wait with the tourist masses. We were thinking next Friday, Februray 16, would be a good day to go. It is cheap ($8.50 if you have an student ID and are under 30--Gail and I are going to have to pay $13) and you only have to get yourself there on time. Are you interested?

it sounds great ...it that very far? can i invite other person which is not in our class to go together??
Lisa, I will put the address on the blog. I think it would be fine to bring a friend.
I'm afraid that I can not go with you. Because I will have to join a celebration of Chinese New Year with my friends on Feb, 26 afternoon.
Friday?What time? I have class until 4:30pm
Steven, the 16th, not the 26...

I'm sorry for my mistake. Chinese New Year Eve is the night of Feb,17, so we decide to celebrate at Feb,16...not 26...
