We stayed at the Raddison on Lexington. Our first venture into a quilting shop was The City Quilter in New York. 
A smallish shop going by the standards of others we went into later in the trip - but about the same size as some of ours in Oz. Heaps of fabric, books and notions that we don't see very much of here. They have their own range of specialist NY fabric - taxis, city skylines, etc and of course I had to buy some! I think just about everyone did.
I know what you're going to say - show us - I will as soon as I my visitors have gone and everyone has seen the goodies. I will then properly unpack the cases - note cases! Sue and myself had to purchase extra - we were very close to the weight limit of 23kgs. But one can have 2 cases with 23 kgs - so that is what we did! Cheaper than paying for excess baggage.......
This was the start of our mission to 'help the US economy situation'.
Our bus driver also took us for a tour of the city highlights. Love the traffic and the pedestrians - lost count of how many we missed!!!! They take no notice of traffic lights.
Getting back to our hotel I looked out our window (our room was on the 8th floor) and saw this very interesting sight. Don't know how it got there, but the car was gone the next day. If I didn't take this photo you would have said I dreamt it!

Thank you for the commentary on your trip. Keep going - you can do it!!!! It sounds a wonderful thing to have done, despite the jet lag!!!
That car is puzzling me too. I know parking is tough in NYC but that is crazy!!!
Looking forward to the next installment...
Hugs,

The traffic in New York City is amazing - the lights change and motorists sound their horns instantly! Bus is the way to see the city.
