On Thursday, the New York Hall of Science celebrated its fifty year anniversary with the opening of the restored Great Hall. Originally designed by Harrison and Abramovitz for the 1964 World's Fair, the Great Hall was the main exhibit space then and is still drawing visitors today. Thursday's dinner threw props to the institution, the architect and the borough of Queens, but the highlight of the night was checking out the Connected Worlds exhibit now on display in the newly restored space. Visitors can control a virtual eco-system by routing water from the 15-foot high waterfall, plant seeds and watch full forests grow. My date, Lindsay, and I couldn't help but be mesmerized.
