Just south of the cathedral: the Peace_Fountain by Greg Wyatt in the West 111th Street People's Garden

New York delights in superlatives. This claims to be the biggest Anglican cathedral in the world.

The choir parapet of notable figures from each century since the birth of Christ here we see, from right to left: 14xx Christopher Columbus, 15xx Galileo, 16xx Shakespeare, 17xx George Washington and 18xx Abraham Lincoln. The parapet was installed in 1922 and they left the last niche empty until the century had ended.

When that happened, they could not agree on a single person so they gave us this interesting quartet: Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Einstein, Susan B. Anthony (American social reformer and women's rights activist born into a Quaker family) and Mohandas Gandhi.

The building that New Yorkers call the Port Authority is in fact a bus terminal. Nearby it and parodying the name Lesley spotted the Beer Authority. Which is a hopeful sign that the USA is not a total lager desert. The place has sixty taps serving this wide range of beers.

The Beer Authority is entered from West 40th Street. this is the view from its window on to 8th Avenue
