It's actually pretty darn good, and if you have a chance to see it before it closes, you should.

There were at least four school groups there, which managed to be a microcosm both of how diverse NYC is on the whole... and how utterly segregated its neighborhoods and schools are. One class all Hispanic, one class nearly all Asian and white, one class almost entirely white, and one class entirely black (with a few kids who may have been Hispanic, I don't know), pursuing four different activities on three different floors.

It's kinda impressive, really.
