The federal government shutdown is in its third week with no end in sight. Trains are still running; streetlights are working; and Pat Kiernan still reads the papers to you in the morning. Historic sites like the African Burial Ground and Grant’s Tomb are closed. Gateway National Recreation Area, a national park with locations in Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island and New Jersey, is open, but with no visitor services. And if you’re itching for a piece of Hamilton history, try the “Hamilton” lottery, because his home in Upper Manhattan is closed.
