Very cool and it's a nice site too (I've only been to NYC once so it's good fodder for longing back). However this sentence made my alarm bells go off:
The first pneumatic tube mail system was installed in Philadelphia (sorry New York) in 1893. New York City’s came in 1897.
A quick check on Wikipedia [1] lists a bunch of earlier systems in Europe, but perhaps there's a silent "in the US" in the original article. That always seems odd to me though, when you're a website focusing on one of the world's top tourist attractions and writing in an international language. Oh well.
