Where's Lucy in NYC?



Answer:  At Belvedere Castle, which sits atop Vista Rock, the second highest natural elevation in Central Park.  Belvedere Castle acts as a weather station, providing the temperature readings for Central Park.




Answer:  Sitting on the steps of the NY Public Library with Patience, one of two lions, in the background.  The other lion, on the north side of the steps, is called Fortitude.  Theses names came in the 1930s by Mayor Fiorella LaGuardia for the qualities New Yorkers would need to survive the Great Depression.





Answer:  On 5th Avenue and 57th St. with Tiffany's in the background.  The Atlas Clock has adorned Tiffany's facade since 1853, even though the store has moved locations several times.





Answer:  In front of a sculpture that is in front of the Alfred E. Smith School on 97th St. between Columbus and Amsterdam.  Al Smith was governor of New York four times over, elected in 1919, 1922, 1924 and 1926.  He was also instrumental in getting the Empire State Building built at the onset of the Great Depression.
