“Trip Like I Do” with P.S. 87

Good evening.

Tonight’s episode of Trip Like I Do brings us all the way to snowy West 78th Street—where District 3’s P.S. 87 is pretty sure those things are gonna taste better with some peanut butter.

In honor of P.S. 87’s piping hot, psychotropic mural, the Hot Stove is proud to propose the kind of treasure hunt fun normally reserved for the backs of children’s cereal boxes.  Serious fun.

Come.  Click the above image to enlarge.  Peer through the flurries of the Upper West wonderland.

Can you find…

1. A teepee?

2. A graveyard?

3. A Baltimore Oriole?

4. A cat that looks like a cat?

5. A cat that kind of looks like a dog?

6. An opium den genie and his trusty steed?

7. An Acropolis in flames? (Why?)

8. A tyrannosaurus-rat?

9. Children reading to a two-headed dodo bird?

10. An actual hut from the set of Rambo II?

Of course, one can’t help but wonder whether P.S. 87’s mural and very foundation are precisely the kinds of structures that might have been burnt to the ground under the controversial “scorched earth” policies of General William T. Sherman, for whom this elementary school is named.

And we were actually just on our way out, but you should totally feel free to go ahead and ask him about that yourself.
