Where is Lucy in New York City?




Answer:  At the Central Park Carousel. The original park carousel opened in 1871 and was powered by a blind mule and a horse who walked a treadmill in an underground pit.



Answer:  At the Guggenheim (5th Ave and 89st.). Frank Lloyd Wright's design for the site was completed in 1959 and was Wright's last major work.





Answer:  At the Grace Building (6th Ave between 42d and 43d St.).  The building was designed by the same architect as that of the Solow Building (9 W. 57th St.) and has a similar concave vertical slope. This is no coincidence, as the architect used the initial, rejected façade design of the Solow Building  for the Grace Building. The exterior of the building is covered in white travertine, which forms a contrast against the black windows and makes the building appear brighter than those surrounding it. The Grace Building in located on the former site of Stern's department stores' flagship location and headquarters.



Answer:  In front of the Manola Valdes Sculpture (Dama II) on Broadway and 63d St.  There are installations of Valdes' work along Broadway, which will appear until January 2011.
