Train Show at the NY Botanical Gardens

I have been looking forward to this all year. The NY Botanical Gardens has a Train Show with replicas of buildings in the NY metro area made entirely of plant material. This is our 3rd Christmas back in NY, but we had yet to see it. Unfortunately, despite the timed entry, it was exceedingly crowded. I hate crowds and for the first 1/2 hour, we contemplated leaving until our party of 7 was split up by the mass of moving people. Fortunately, once we made it in to the main section, the crowds thinned and we were able to get a good view of the mini NY. This was my favorite, St Patrick's Cathedral.
