Eric -

Might not work in NY, but one of the best I've ever heard about (and it 
really stuck in my imagination) was in Mexico for the Day of the Dead - and 
it was a celebration of Theories that had died! So, little tombs to Flat 
Earth, Earth at the Center of the Universe, etc. Think of what you could do 
for Creationism!
It was inside and outside the museum and the public had been invited to 
build their own shrines.  I can't remember where this happened, possibly 
Monterrey.
