This place is amazing. The City Reliquary is a sort of DIY "window museum" stuffed full of old bits of New York, including chunks of metal off Williamsburg Bridge, old coins, a sand bucket, discarded false teeth, "an aquatic fruit found in the Hudson River" and a little bottle of soil taken from a small island.
The people behind the museum - who clearly don't take themselves too seriously - describe the City Reliquary as a "pleasant and safe place for people to gather, relax, disseminate information, and enjoy the comradery provided by a city of over eight million people."
They also put on community events ("Sidewalk receptions ") that look like a whole lot of fun. We like them.
