As hundreds of thousands of people braved a chilly January morning to watch President Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremony on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., a much smaller and cozier group gathered to do the same in Manhattan. More than 100 people filled Lincoln Center’s David Rubenstein Atrium, where a large projection screen was set up with a live feed of the events in Washington.
The gathering was organized by City Council member Gale A. Brewer. As the time drew close to the presidential speech, the crowd grew, filling up the tables and busying the coffee shop that runs on the premises.
