Our first stop on the way from Philidelphia to New York was the site of Edison's lab where the majority of his inventions were generated. It did contain the worlds largest light bulb! It was a small locally run museum and the guide knew A LOT about Edison. The best thing was hearing demonstrations of the old gramophone equipment. 
Then as we arrived in New York we visited Frank Sinatra's birth place, which is just a gap between the buildings these days.

We went to the worlds biggest working clock on the New Jersey coast. Christopher liked the clock.

I liked the views of New York.

I then drove through New York, which was not that bad. But I think I have got used to barging into traffic by now. On the way we kindly allowed David Hockney to cross the road, but it was just the back of a man in a yellow hat by the time we got the camera out.


We went straight up to the Empire State Building as we didn't want to spend our main visit day queueing... and boy did we queue. It was nice to see New York from above, however. If we had more days in New York it would have been better to view the city after we had explored it - however it was beautiful weather, if a bit windy.

Then we wandered up to Times Square
