Rewinding to the elusive Chrysler Building ....

I am a huge fan of the Art Deco style of architecture. Downtown Buffalo (yes, Buffalo), Cincinnati, and the Chrysler Builder, all thrill my heart.

Mike liked how each bank of elevators served different floors.

Out of order because I couldn't get photos to load.

I love, love, love this building. Need to re-Google the Leona Helmsely story. This is her hotel (hubby's technically), yes?

The Helmsley Hotel (Leona's baby) is on Madison in the low 50's. That's the Helmsley Building, which was Herman's business HQ, if I'm not mistaken. He had quite the empire before he married "yer wan", as we say ;)

And I love walking through it to get to GCT.

I'm a "potty collector" - by necessity, nothing creepy about it. I'm looking to add it to my collection.

Oh if you like Art Deco, you came to the right place. Not just the Chrysler Building, but the Chanin Building diagonally across 42nd...not Art Deco at all, but check out my old workplace at SE corner of 41st and Lex...Empire State is grand Art Deco as I'm sure you know. What used to be called the Lincoln Building at 60 E 42...will strain my brain to think of more.

Now for Times Square. So not fun. Too many bright lights. Too many people. Too little deodorant being used.

Time to visit the Disney Store ... you know 'cause it's not like I'm going to be in WDW in three weeks.
But Times Square Disney Store, that's where it's really AT-AT.

At last I see the light.

We were here last time in April 06, so it seemed a good place to stop for a beverage.

Kilkenny for Mike. Maybe more than one.

He got the shrimp and chips.

I got bangers and mash.

I will trade you three bangers for two shrimp. Deal.
I will trade you 3/4 of my potatoes for your coleslaw.

Dessert? Pass.

Irish Cream Cheesecake. "It's magically delicious".
We don't need two forks. It's all yours, Baby.
