New YouTube Video!

I uploaded a video to both of my YouTube accounts yesterday. I tried put the video up on the actual post, but it isn't working. So a link will have to do. Here it is: ------->CLICK HERE<-------- Enjoy!

100th Post!

Today marks the day that I post my 100th post (this one, of course). It's been about 2 months since my 6 month anniversary so there's not that much new stuff to report. I did find my first 2012 cent, get a Where's George bill, witness the downfall of the Canadian Cent, and while I just read down my post list I found out that this is my most popular post. I also just found out that I have 5,934 views on all of my posts! Thanks to everyone who has visited, commented, showed this to others, etc.!
 

Backstage on Broadway!

Here are some backstage pictures from the play Billy Elliot. The coins all seem fairly new except the cent in the top left which looks to me like a pre-1982. All I can say about the play is that it was amazing and if you ever get the chance to you should go. I will also be posting more pictures on my other blog My Travels of the World so click the link to see them.

Subway Token Video!

Visit this link for a video of subway tokens and slugs that I took in NYC at the Transit Museum. The video is a little loud so turn down the volume especially if you have headphones. Also, this token is worth about $3.00-$4.00.

Who's Your Uncle?

Whenever I'm in New York I always go to Uncle Louie G's ice cream shop. There is one near the Brooklyn apartment I stay in so when I pass by I always get some. Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm not sure which, I hardly ever pass by it. If you noticed the top picture it says "Who's Your Uncle?" which I think is hilarious for some reason. It has delicious ice cream and friendly cashiers and is a must go to destination when your in Brooklyn. Here is a link to show where it is and what people have said about it.

The New WTC!

We are all aware of the tragic events that happened on that fateful Tuesday 9/11/2001. Many lives were lost, many bodies were never found, and many families were devaststed. For many it was a day of uncertainty. Was everyone in the family all right? Were we at war? Were there going to be more attacks? No one was certain. Luckily no one in my family was injured or killed in the attacks and hopefully no one in yours was either. Now over ten years later there will finally be a building in the once desolate spot that was the WTC. This picture was taken in at the end of June-beginning of July so it is outdated but it is the best I have. I cannot wait to see it completed next time I visit NYC!

Spumoni and Sicilian Pizza!

Spumoni Gardens History

First, I would like to start by saying Happy Thanksgiving. Second, this sign is the one in front of the famous Spumoni Gardens that has the best spumoni and sicilian pizza (and the only spumoni and sicilian pizza) I have ever had. Spumoni is kind of like a mix of Italian Ice and ice cream and usually comes in chocolate and pistachio. I don't have enough time to post much more so there is a link at the top. It isn't much but it will have to do.

The Greatest City in the World!

I have now decided to do about a weeks worth of posts about New York City. I'm not quite sure why but it seems kind of appropriate with the Macy's parade and everything else going on in the city. First, I will start with a sign from Wall Street. It is America's financial capital (if you don't get the joke don't bother) and of course is where millions of stocks are traded, bought, and sold. The buildings are very magnificent especially on the inside. The only reason I know this is because my daring aunt and I ventured into one like we knew what we were doing and walked out as if we had just concluded an important meeting even though we were only inside for about 1 minute. I don't think we would have been in any trouble in the first place but when venturing into a random building you don't know the rules so we just decided to play it safe. A little bit of history: Wall Street History.
