My hotel (The Tudor) was on 42nd street and loomed over by the Chrysler Building...
This is Ted's (Producer of Project Dollway) place, hardly a cottage in the country!LOL!
...and his rather grand gardens, with one heck of a view!!
Looking out over Tudor City. This was the brain child of H. Douglas Ives and was built by Fred F French. Building started in 1925 and was completed in 1928. For those of us who are more used to seeing REAL historic buildings, this does look rather odd, in England we like our stately homes to be on the ground!
Ted has a great view of the Chrysler building...
...and the Empire State Building.
So, on to the shopping!! Ted and I had many days of shopping trips. The shops here are out of this world. Fabric shops where the rolls of fabric just go on and on and on. I have no idea how you could ever choose fabric in them. You would have to go in knowing EXACTLY what you want and keep your eyes closed at all times!!

Then there are shops that just sell buttons - millions of them! Shops that just do ribbon - in every possible way you can imagine!
I may never be the same again!
As for toy shops!! I love the action figure shops and there were plenty to keep me happy but I just HAD to see this one!!
...and inside!
Then there is 5th Avenue and all it has to offer...
This was Tiffany's after I had stood looking at it, then got into a taxi. At which point I remembered my camera!!
Then!!! Parsons, home of Project Runway!
Look at this, this is the Fashion District information office. They say everything is bigger in the States and it is not always a good thing - look at the size of the sewing needles!...and who's going to need a button that big??

Then there are the streets of New York, they take some getting used to!
Some of the vehicles are enormous! Strange but I never saw one single Smart car! Petrol prices will soon change that!
