Manhattan’s East 20th Street Beach
It might come as a surprise, but Manhattan has beaches. Yes, they’re small, often submerged at high tide, and you’d be crazy to go swimming in the water, but they’re still beaches. And there are more than you’d think. I’m a huge fan of any property in Manhattan that goes unused or ignored, or at…

Hmmmm…looks like a really weird mineral sample. The Museum of Natural History? It might even be malachite! (One of my favorite minerals. 😀 )
I have no clue, but it looks like hair on a statue. Can’t wait to learn where/what it is.
Chinatown??? some weird vegetables?? 😉
alien sexual organs? should be around the East Village then.
looks like malachite to me.

The Statue of Liberty’s underarm hair? (she IS French)
