Manhattan University to 190th St. 5-6 miles

We'll vist Manhattan University's O'Malley Library to view an exhibit of sketches found in a closet, long forgotten and lost. Here's the New York Times article which piqued my curiosity.

Mehnaz Afridi, Professor of Religion & Philosophy and
Director of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Interfaith Education Center, will provide a tour of the sketches and additional Holocaust Center material housed at the library.

Meet at the public bathrooms at 243rd St, north of the last stop of the #1 train at 242nd St. We'll walk a short distance to the O'Malley Library of Manhattan University. Following our viewing we'll have lunch on the campus. We'll then walk south to the Henry Hudson Bridge, to Fort Tyron Park where we can catch the A train at 190th Street.

Here's a video of the exhibit's opening event.
