Tweets and Photos of the Pope's Day in New York

It's a long day for Pope Francis. After leading a multi-religious service at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, he'll head up to East Harlem to visit Our Lady Queen of Angels School before ending his day with a Mass at Madison Square Garden.

New Yorkers eager to catch a glimpse of the pontiff during his Manhattan visit are out in the streets, as well as WNYC reporters. Follow what they're seeing and saying on Twitter. (Note: this page is being updated throughout the day.)
