SciCafe talks at the American Museum of Natural History are great and relatively small (maybe 100-150 guests usually), but Neil deGrasse Tyson is such a great and entertaining host, that this talk (last presentation before the summer break) was moved out into the great hall.
iPad and Iphone users: direct path to the interactive panorama
Apologies: sorry for the couple of half people, I usually try to photograph them complete, but a couple were in the overlap area between rows, and sorry for the white areas (I didn’t shot a complete 360×180).

Go to the middle of the floor, lie down on your back and put on your fisheye goggles (and have fun explaining what you’re doing to the before mentioned security guards). Or just look at this picture, almost the same thing.

This is the beginning of a panorama series on Grand Central Station. It’s a work in progress so stay tuned.
You can forget about shooting in Grand Central without a tripod, but getting a permit to bring the tripod in and set it up – what with security and pedestrian traffic concerns – was a bit of a hassle.
And while it was somewhat of a nuisance while I was shooting, it was also reassuring that everyone remotely concerned with security at Grand Central Station (National Guard, NYC, MTA, and Metro North police, security guards, and ordinary employees of various transportation agencies, etc.,) took their job seriously and actually came by during the 30 minutes I was there to check my permit sticker.
Digital, about 17000x6500px.

This was a very interesting experience, having food in way oversized beds, folding your legs under you until they cramp, and you shift to another position without spilling your drinks… fun. Totally manually stitched in Photoshop, I almost wouldn’t call it stitching, more very creative masking.
Update: Duvet NYC is closed (2010)

Hmm, trains, machines, steam. My poor GF endured a whole afternoon as I indulged my fetish for industry and technology.
