+## Butler Hall
+
+Thanks to Mom's alumni status, we were able to secure accomidation in Butler Hall---one of the dorms owned by Columbia.
+Address 400 W 119th St.
+She stayed at this very same dorm as a graduate student.
+Our two-bedroom suite, complete with generous living room and kitchen, was an absolute steal at $150 a night.
+We had room 7-O, that's letter "O" not number "0".
+The 7th floor was high enough for a fantastic view of Harlem and all the way to downtown.

+Another day of shopping and resting.
+Mom went shopping at Talbots NYC, finding a dress, pants, and a sweater.
+We visited the American Folk Art Museum, which was small but interesting.
+Lunch was at Pastrami Queen, midtown.
+All these trips were done by Bus and Subway---pretty freeing to be able to zip around the city without worrying about parking.
