For example - the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue - one of the largest museums on earth.
Almost one million visitors a month, with over 2 million exhibits. Including real pyramids transported from Egypt.
Every exhibit has a number - and, after keying in the number into the keypad of your hired electronic divice - you will be told what you're looking at.
Byzantine art, Chinese poems, Islamic art, Inca statues, Palestinian crockery, Egyptian mummies or a Spanish frigate.
Fascinating and, in itself, one of the wonders of the world....

Of them all, I thought New York, New York was the best by far. Fast moving, so much to see and great value - except accommodation which is expensive.
Major improvements in the past 20 years - and it's only about 11 miles x 3! You could almost walk around it!
Very safe - policemen on the pavement, horses and motorbikes everywhere. Well armed with tazers, guns and all types of gadgets.
No more XXX theatres so what's the point ? |

NYC has the Manhattanhenge or Manhattan Solstice, where the east/west streets have sunset and sunrise alignments every year - as a result of the grid system making up central Manhattan's street layout.
Google is your friend...or worth a look on YouTube...
 
I just ask you Spee, might of been a more enjoyable drive if I didn't have the same album on the loop but it was all I had.
Couldn't you get a Gary Glitter CD for a pound at the motorway services?
Why not settle for a release from K-tel which used to flood the service stations. Listened to Briar which is great but how many times can one listen to Frankie? |

My second home until 17 years ago when Surrey Police and the CPS decided to assist a move. Many happy decades on Concorde going from my bedroom in London and arriving in my Manhattan bedroom at exactly the same time. |
