We queued up in Central Park at 830am for free tickets to King Lear in Delacorte Theater.
It is part of Shakespeare in the Park, free theater for everyone.
The queuing is an experience. The line is at least 500m long by the time we got there, with everyone on mats and blankets. The tickets are distributed at 12, and the line compressed at 1140am.
It's a very civilized event, from delivery deli to 3-4 theater staff organizing the line. Nobody is allowed to leave or join you, except for bathroom breaks and concession stands.
This is the result of our patience and 4 hours of queueing! 2 free tickets to see John Lithgow.

Halal Brothers
Next line: The Halal Bro food cart in front of Moma and a 20 minutes queue.
Good gyro and chicken with saffron rice! Highly recommended. Cheap too. We got enough food for lunch and dinner for $12. That's a pretty good deal!
After that, we walked around 9/11 memorial and I liked what they did to the old twin tower sites.
Very somber and elegant.
King Lear was much better than Book of Mormon though less entertaining. The 3.5 hours went quick though as it's a good show. It's a good experience that i really like. Unfortunately they don't allow us to take any pictures in the theater even before the show starts.
