Here are the 42 things to do.

Built in 2010, this tower replaced LaGuardia's old "Swiss cheese ice cream cone".

You can see some great photos of the mural here.

I love the rinky-dink model airplane dangling from the ceiling! That's a bust of Fiorello La Guardia in the center; the 12-foot-high painting encircling the room ("Flight" by James Brooks) is supposedly the largest mural commissioned by the WPA. It was painted over in the 1950s, but was deservedly restored three decades later.

This is part of a little memorial garden outside the Marine Air Terminal. The plaque reads:

Artifacts recovered from the World Trade Center after September 11, 2001, courtesy of The Port Authority of NY & NJ and displayed in memory of the 2,752 victims, including:

37 Port Authority Police Officers
23 New York City Police Officers
343 New York City Firefighters

"Welcome to Terminal A / Marine Air Terminal's Pet Relief Area"

(Note the continuation of the flying fish motif.)

The Marine Air Terminal at LaGuardia Airport opened in 1940 to accommodate seaplanes (which are represented by the flying fish encircling the top of the building). Among the aircraft that used the terminal in those days were the gigantic Boeing 314 flying boats (pictured here), which were "responsible for the most adventurous and romantic era" in the airport's history, according to a sign inside the building. The terminal is still in use today, though not by seaplanes: Delta Shuttle flights operate out of its six gates (which are actually located in an annex adjacent to the original terminal building).

One can only speculate on the origin of this pond's name.

You can't really see it in this photo, but the text on the bottom line of the plaque reads: "This tablet is cast from metal recovered from the U.S.S. Maine".

I suppose this means that this plaque, which sits in Captain Tilly Park, is merely a non-Maine replica of the plaque designed by Charles Keck, of which more than a thousand copies were cast from metal that actually was salvaged from the Maine. (One of those copies can be found on the monument at the southwest corner of Central Park that we saw back in January.)
