SEAL OF APPROVAL. After The Gates departs this fair city, where shall we go? What shall we do?

Consider paying a visit to this harp seal, sunning itself off Battery Park. What a great pin-up photo by Suzanne Dechillo, brought to us by cute animal worshiper Jen Chung of Gothamist!

Sure, it's not saffron. But neither were those orange thingies in Central Park.

Gothamist suggests Peter as the critter's name. Over here I'm torn between Harpo and Neal the Seal. (Take that, Pale Male and Lola!)
