Empire State Building Dirigibles Dock

If you're unaware that the top 200 feet of the Empire State building was an after thought you may be surprised to also know that it was build in part as an Airship docking station, or so the story goes! Empire State Building Official Website 
One great thing to come out of the fact that the Dirigible docking station wouldn't work is the  102nd Floor observation Deck

I Love Free NY.. I ♥ NY

I love NY in Summer....
The heat (well when its not too hot), the people out in the parks but I really like all the free concerts and activities that seem to pop up during the warmer weather, really starting in Spring you need to keep a watch of events on the horizon. See my previous posting for the NYC Parks calendar here and get out.

Magnificent 7 (actually so many more!)

Heavily influenced in my early movie watching days as a kid by my Dad, The Magnificent 7, was one of those movies we (my two brothers) and I would watch with Dad. I owe my love of Westerns to him. Although I never really got into the John Wayne movies, I have lost count how many times I have watched a Clint Eastwood western and still really like watching anything he is associated with.
Too many free movies in NY to list but suffice to say I have travelled to see at least one a week during summer to date.
