The New York Minute Show

I was walking to Pennsylvania Station the other day and noticed that the scaffolding had come down from the main branch of the post office in New York. So I stopped for a few moments and took a video.

Spend a few minutes with the sea lions at the Central Park Zoo. They have twice-a-day feedings at the pool in the middle of the zoo. The crowds can get large, especially in the summer when the weather is warm and the kids are off from school.
