CITYarts, a non-profit public art organization in New York, had a ribbon cutting ceremony yesterday to celebrate the restoration of the 36-year-old mosaic benches around Grant’s Tomb in Morningside Heights (located at Riverside Drive and West 122nd Street). Magician David Blaine appeared to perform magic tricks for the kids.
