I summed it up with a tweet

It was a very large march.
This was mostly a unions event.
All Broadway was cleared of traffic
between Herald Square and 14 Street (20 blocks = 1 mile). 
Bloomberg’s Army was there – but not in riot gear or hazmat suits.
This being unions and not dirty hippies, they were wearing jackets marked “COMMUNITY AFFAIRS”
.
A small but spirited contingent picketed some of the sides of one of the Credit Suisse buildings 
for the anti war profiteers action last night.
I didn’t know there were two huge Credit Suisse buildings there 
and they had a zillion entrances
– now noticeable by the number of cops (Bloomberg’s army) posted there.
The free ones actually do it by reporting
the students strike against tuition hikes albeit in their skewed way.

I went there with the dog and my cans. Police surrounded the place with their metal barricades making getting in very difficult
. people started using the barricades as tables. I was being offered meals several times as I walked through
There was music

were taken care too!
were taken care too!-Here’s the account from the OWS site
Today, Occupations across the U.S. have shown that the 99% Movement can do more than protest — we can also take care of one another. In D.C. and many other cities, Occupiers sat down for a “family meal.” In New York, Occupy The Hood dropped off hundreds of meals at shelters across Brooklyn. The OWS kitchen cooked warm meals for 4000 people and handed them out at Liberty Square. Following dinner, there was a spontaneous sit-in in solidarity with the many people who lost their place of rest when OWS was raided on November 15th.
And no plastic turkey as I feared – luckily for OWS he is a chicken

Volunteers were distributing these invitations far and wide
