[Greetings from New York City!]


[New York City, man]
Well, here we are. Franny just couldn't take the midwest for another day, so she dragged us all to New York.

[Lady Liberty (*way* back there in the distance. Past the thick layer of fog, mist and grey clouds)]
What, the Statue of Liberty? Pshaw! That's tourist stuff! Nope, *we* didn't bother looking at that old thing.

['64 World's Fair site]
But we did manage to find the '64 World's Fair site. Hmm, why does this look so damn familiar....something's missing, though...

[mysteriously empty bench at the '64 World's Fair site]
"Who was at the Dupont Pavillion / Why was the bench still warm / Who had been there?"

[us sitting on the bench at the '64 World's Fair site]
We're going to let you all in on a little secret now...it was us!

[Franny and Kari each, um, alone at the '64 World's Fair]
"All alone at the '64 World's Fair..." Oh come on! Like you wouldn't have done it too if you were here!

[Coney Island]
In the immortal words of Francesca: "Experiencing Coney Island is a lot like licking the bottom of a subway car."

[Coney Island's
'Hell Hole', huh? Well. If you say so...

['Trashy Trudy's' mobile fine dining]
Bummer this place is closed.

[Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs]
Yes, we got hot dogs at the famous Coney Island Nathan's. But don't call us tourists - we're voyagers!

[Barbie recommends plastic children]
Ah, a quick stop along 5th avenue...

[Kari's ravaged car]
"You already got the stereo."

[franny covering her face all over the 5 burroughs]
Intrepid New Yorker Franny bravely guides humble, gawking midwesterners Kari and Kate around the great metropolis, allowing her intrepid self to look like a tourist. But not without a lot of whining.
