Astoria Life: New York Minutes

Musings from the Queen of Queens, or My 6 years of living in Queens and greater NYC, where I moved to work for the water department and ended up, among other things, traveling the world and appearing on a billboard on Times Square.

DC's Smithsonian in NYC!

I went to the Smithsonian Musuem of the American Indian in Battery Park the other day. Many people do not even know this museum exists, but I learned about it back in 2004 when I went on my one and only "Discovery New York" neighborhood walk.

The museum is free, like all Smithsonians, and I have to admit that's the main reason I went.

It is in the old US Customs House, which is gorgeous. And I learned a lot about the different clothes of the different Native American tribes!
