NYC SciBlings MeetUp - Friday morning

We barely made it to our 6am flight (so we did not get stranded like Sheril), so Mrs.Coturnix an I got to NYC about 7-ish and spend the entire day walking down the Lower East side of Manhattan, from the U.N. to Battery Park, and then took a cab back to the hotel (the last picture) where we started meeting the first SciBlings (next set of pictures, later today):
