[UPDATE] NYC Postcards - SE Fifth and 40th (11th March)

As shown on the updated video - someone in New York needs to get down to Fifth and 40th and ask for Alice NOW.

Now it doesn't say ask for Alice in this one. Is there somewhere with this name or nickname?

Maybe look for something relating to Alice? Since it says "Now," there might not actually be someone there waiting, but something we can go record down or a clue, etc.

After googling, I wonder, is there a branch of the library there? The two new clues mention Alice and Dinah. Dinah was Alice's cat in Alice in wonderland.

I bet there's a lot of copies of the Wonderland books in that library.

If you're looking on a map search for Bryant Park, Manhattan cos it's right next door. 5th and 40th looks like a fairly minor intersection and from my googling it looks like the library is gonna be the best shot.

EDIT: linky for the library

I don't see anything pertinant in the events they have on (you'll need to pick the correct place on that search). They don't seem to have anything special going on today.

A search for ALICE brought up 2767 items so that's probably not the right line of investigation.....

From here and here, Yes, the Mid-Manhattan NY Public Library is on the South-East corner of Fifth and 40th, so that's the place we need.

On this site was Gordon's Riding Academy, where the first polo game in America (and perhaps the first ever indoors) was played in 1876, introduced to this country by newspaper heir James Gordon Bennett Jr.

so, is anyone currently on their way there right now? How long until you think we'll hear an update, since the time was 'NOW'...

Something we know. Bags went down to the library and called me. 5 books, a postcard in each (all the same), he took 1, and left the other 4. He'll be back shortly to scan the postcards.
