Sorry for the old Jimmy Reed quote, but it's true. My wife and I are going to NYC on Saturday 10/5 for a week. We'll be staying midtown for three nights, then at a friend's apartment in Greenwich Village for four. Any advice about current events or exhibits are welcome. Is the Walker Evans show open yet? I'll be bringing my M3 with Amadeo-adapted Carl Zeiss 50/1.5 Sonnar and a bag of Tri-X. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I read in the New Yorker that MOMA was mounting a showing of his work to run into April, but it didn't say when it opens.

Yeah, we'll definitely devote a full day to MoMA for Evans as well as the main exhibit American Modern: Hopper to O'Keeffe.

No problem. And thanks for updating all of us about the exhibit. I can't believe none of us knew any thing about. Here's the MOMA link to the free fridays

Make sure you and your wife visit the High Line. Your wife will enjoy it.

Ground Zero memorial, of course. Always great photo opportunities in Central Park too. Chinatown, Little Italy, Lower East Side (all within a short distance from each other).
Forget about Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty right about now -- part of the National Park Service....

Not an event, but if you like to walk and the weather's nice, the Jay St. Metro Tech subway station is close to the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge. Walking across into lower Manhattan is a real treat. And the views, well, they're kind of stunning.
The A, C and F trains all stop there should you want to check it out.

Looks great! Got a .pdf from wikipedia. There's a really similar thing in Paris's 12th arrondissement. We sure enjoyed that, so I'm sure this will be just as nice. Thanks again.

Take a free ride on the Staten Island Ferry if you want to see Lower Manhattan.
