Obama Headed To NYC Tomorrow

The Post reports, "President Obama will visit FBI headquarters in the Big Apple tomorrow to personally thank agents involved in the arrest of a Denver man who allegedly planned to bomb the city's subways." He's also going to make a stop at the Time Warner Center—that's according to the sign we read at the Columbus Circle Whole Foods, which warned about possible delays.

Today: President Obama, First Lady Visit NYC

First Lady Michelle Obama has made two visits to NYC since the inauguration, but the Big Apple will finally get to welcome President Barack Obama today. The First Couple will be making a "personal visit" to the city; the Caucus reports they will go to the 8 p.m. performance of the critically acclaimed and Tony-nominated play Joe Turner's Come and Gone, written by August Wilson. It's unclear whether there will be street closures in Midtown (expect at least some flashing lights and a motorcade). No other details of their plans have been leaked. The Daily News adds, "The First Couple will be traveling on one of the smaller planes in the Air Force VIP fleet instead of the Boeing 747 jumbo jet," which might be because it's a "personal visit" or maybe because the last time the Boeing 747 was here...well, you know.
