Continuing the Ghostbusters theme, we visited the New York public library. We did get to meet Winnie the Pooh, Eyore, Kanga (no Roo) Tigger and Piglet. Also saw Charles Dickens' writing desk, and a hand ful of essential historical documents and books.
Unlike the Philadelphia mass turbulance on 1947, there was no symmetrical book stacking. Since there were no paranormal phenomena to investigate, we headed to the shops.
Lego store first. Was almost tempted to be the crocodile locomotive. Decided not to though, and just looked at the various displays. They have a nice New york scene complete with Spiderman and Green Goblin. Aftert that we went to the Harry Potter store.That place is huge. It was also crowded. But fi you ever happen to want a realistic replica wand, this is the place to go.
Flickums and Liz went to the Strand bookshop. I wasn't that interested so I ditched them and went to the Museum of mathematics. It had been on my "would like to see" list for a goodhour or so when I noticed it existed. And it was good fun. A few of the exhibits were broken, which was a shame, and a few just didn't seem that interesting. But there was plenty there to play with. They had some square wheeled bikes, which were fun to ride. The way they work is by having a suitably shaped floor.
Dinner was at Olive Garden. A place I had an inexplicable hankering to experience. Liz thought this was hilarious. The thing is, this is a place that gets a lot of mention in American media. I felt I really needed to experience it to find out what it was all about. It was everything I expected! Which is to say it was fairly mudane, bland, safe mass produced food. Nice enough but far from thrilling. Although they do provide some very tasty breadsticks, and unlimited parmesan (although we had to chase that up).
Show for the evening was Six. A retelling of the six wives of Henry VIII presented as a pop concert. The six wives form a Spice-girls-esque group and each tells their tale as an argument about who had the most tragic story. I really enjoyed it.
Finished the evening chilling out in room, drinking yoghurt shake and lemon tea.
