What to do with 3 hours in Manhattan?

I'm in NYC right now to do visit with folks at Tekserve. So.

I have about 3 free hours to do anything I want in Manhattan and cab fare to get me there. What one cool thing should I do?

Manhattan

EAT!! The food is better than anywhere! If you are on a budget go to Katz' Deli on the lower east side. Order your favorite heart attack on a plate. Stand in line and shout your order. It'll do you good.

If you have some bucks, go to Keen's chop house and have steak. Be sure to order a flight of top shelf scotches. For only three hours you need to be efficient in your drinking.

You could also go to the Regency Hotel near St.Patricks go into the bar, let a butler take your coat or show you a seat, order a drink and contemplate the Maxfield Parrish mural behind the bar. THAT'S Manhattan, bubby.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
