My family is visiting the end of this week (from Minnesota). How are the sidewalks in Manhattan- trying to decide if we should be packing winter boots (waterproof) or if sneakers is good enough for days exploring outside (Christmas markets, holiday displays, etc).

Reply to TIL The largest diamond ever found was the Cullinan Diamond, which was discovered in South Africa in 1905. It weighed 3,106.75 carats (over 1.2 pounds) and was cut into nine separate stones, including the Great Star of Africa, which is the largest clear-cut diamond in the world at 530.2 carats. by mic3ttaa
My favorite fact is Queen Elizabeth II referred to the Cullinan III & IV as “Granny’s chips.”
