New York Historical Society

I gotta be honest: the NY Historical Society was wicked boring. Well, to be more specific, the guys who presented pieces of its collection were. It was boresville, for sure. I certainly didn't mind looking at old maps and sketches and city designs, that stuff is cool. But in regards to the big books of old address listings, I'm just going to come out and say it: I don't see the fascination with them (unless of course you're working on a project that requires you to know the names of specific people who lived on 8th Street in 1902). But that's beyond the point. The NYHS seems like an awesome resource if you're doing something that could utilize it, but just visiting for that brief talk didn't keep me too riveted.
