Saturday 28 August and Sunday 29 August 2010























Start of with not a good start. We head to B H Photos a Camera and Electrical Company that I have bought a fair few things from over time to find they are closed saturday and open Sundays. Will talk about that later but from there we have a wander to Madison Square Gardens to find the tours are not on due to renovations. OK from there we go to Times Square and generally have an easy day with entertainment by the naked cowboy.
Sunday
Ok today has to be better so off we go to the New York PD Museum only for Petal to inform me about a block from it that it is closed on Sundays. Back to the B H Photos were we find the most amazing store out run by a thousand employees all wearing little doilies on their head. No wonder they were shut saturday.

This store has to be seen to be believed. All departments over two floors. Cameras Lenses, binoculars, sound, television. If it is not on the shelf you see one of a bank of consultants in that department. While you are talking to him he sends a request to stores and it arrives in a plastic bucket on the most sophisticated overhead roller system you have seen. Once you have made your choice either from the wall or the counter he prints a docket and rives it to you. They punched my name into the computer and up it came. Changed a couple of details and bobs your uncle. The article is on its way to the cashier. So on you go and make another choice in another department and give him your docket. He scans it and the new docket he gives you is has combined the two. And so on until you want to leave. You then turn up to the cashier, pay your docket and he hands over everything that has been delivered to him. Unbelievable.

Off from there to a bit of Kouth and Kulture for the old fella and we visit the Museum of Modern Art until we ditch and head back to Times Square for a latte and people watching before heading home. Did find a girl of the night in the subway. See Photo
