The National Museum of World War Two Aviation that's in

the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We do have it all
as one of the top attractions. We have beautiful museums.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
We do, and I haven't been to every one of them,
but I guarantee you, if I ever leave this area,
I'll think about all the things I didn't do.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
You know, like have you done the Empire Staple?

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, Empire State? But done that statue of Liberty Central Park?

No?

Speaker 2 (02:31):
I haven't either, No, Kristin, No, No, it might be fun.
Yeah not today, No, on a cooler day. And just
rounding out the top ten is Alcatraz Island, San Francisco.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
I've done that four or five times. Oh wow, I
love that.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I thought that looks really cool. I would get to
go there.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah. Yeah. They give you a little like well it's
been years, but they give you like a little walkman,
and you put headphones on and you walk around, and
you know, they tell you the story and you go
into the walking you walk in to a cell and
I'll tell you who's there. Yeah, it's pretty neat. It's
pretty neat.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Does it feel like it? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Well, I love the movie Escape from Alcatraz, remember Clint
Eastwood in nineteen seventy nine, and it was filmed there too,
so a lot of that. To me, it was more
about the film than the actual what the prison was
all about. I'm like, oh, they filmed that here, but
it was cool.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
But you can walk around here Covey and see some
of the top attractions New York.
