>The New York aquarium was open, but it suffers by comparison with the National Aquarium in Baltimore.<

Oh dear yes. I have been to that aquarium at least a few times. What a huge, well run facility. The NY aquarium is really quite dumpy in my opinion.

>On the other hand, the drive out was fascinating. Ocean Parkway is in a predominantly Jewish area, apparently largely Orthodox. I have never seen so many Yeshivas in my life! And, consonant with the Russian origins of many of them, I was charmed to see so many chess tables planted strategically along the median strip, most of them in use.<

Oh yes. This is quite an excellent feature. I do not know if you play, but I will tell you some of those guys there are quite good. In fact if you go to midtown Manhattan you will find games in session. I have played there myself ages ago. Some of those guys look like genuine bums, but mercy can they play.

>It has been a long while since I have spent much time in the outer boroughs. As I have mentioned, I spend a lot of time at museum shows. But my son would like to see Coney Island, and I thought I might include some other things if I go to Brooklyn.<

Then by all means visit Little Odessa. And this is what I meant by the place of visit being irrelevant to some degree. Coney Island with a child will perhaps be quite a lot of fun.

>By the way, I know what you mean about finding things to amuse you as long as your wife is along...<

Yup.
