Only got out on Sunday. Next year, I'll know better - some of the best sites were only open on Saturday:

I went to the Masonic Lodge and then to the Hindu Temple Association out in Queens. You weren't allowed to take photographs so I did some drawings - 3/5 up, the rest by the end of the day. It was great.

lots more photos here of Anderson Architects, TEK, Leroy Street Studio, and the Vitra showroom.

We arrived at TWA's Terminal Five to discover the show's unceremonious vacation, so we hit the new Jet Blue facilities in search of consolation. Stiff drinks, though aesthetically average, eased our frustration, though it was a lot of to-and-fro for no final destination.

Went over to the Greenwood Cemetery:

The highlight of the OHNY weekend for me was taking a tour of the Thirteen/WNET offices and studios.

What a great weekend! The highlights for me were the Pratt Institute Power Plant and the popular High Bridge Water Tower:
