if ya living in nyc then you know bout the police, just be safe, be smart when smoking on the streets or parks, u kno.. washington sq construction is done for the most part so the area by the fountain open again, nice warm weather we having, sure there is loads of people chillen out in the park and some performers probably be out there soon, especially on the weekend. Greenwich Villiage always a good spot to start off an adventure (DO NOT BUY WEED THERE! or central lock up for 24 hours will be part of the adventure, 6th precinct is nasty with the undercover squads) I've had nights where it started off like 2 of us and turned into like 30 people all chillen together in the Washington sq buggn out, good times.

also again about the art, jsut since you mentioned the MoMa, might want to pick up the newest issue of Gallery Guide (might be able to get it at the moMa) it has listings of loads of Gallery shows around the world, the majority being in NYC and the boroughs of course
