Going Big in New York

The Big Apple that is New York City is really big on having everything big! While walking along Broadway I came across a huge McDonald's outlet with signange as glamourous as the Broadway theatre.

Yep, not only are the serving portions huge, the floor area of this McDonald's could fit a theatre in it. Apart from McDonald's, New York City also is known for:




Big ass video screens surrounding Times Square. Yeah baby, a feast for the senses.



Video screens and billboard ads that go right to the top of the buildings! Guess everyone wants their ads to be seen at Times Square so they're willing to pay top dollar for premium placements.



And even more ads. As long as there's a wall, and if that wall faces on-coming traffic, there'll be an ad.



This is a win-win situation for both advertiser and building owner; advertiser gets prime advertsing real estate while building owner makes a tidy profit leasing out ad space and saves on any need to clean or paint that wall as long as the ad stays there.

Positive Brothers

If you happen to be around Battery Park in Manhattan chances are that you would have seen the Positive Brothers in action. It's hard not to miss them since they'll have their stereo blasting away while they entice the crowd will calls of "Showtime!".

As a group of street performers, the trio never fail to entertain the audience with their agility, flexibility and comical sense of humor.

Manhattan from 86 floors up!

This lovely view of Manhattan was captured from the 86th floor of the Empire State Building around 10ish in the morning.



Initially, the spire of the Empire State Building was meant to be a docking point for passengers travelling on zepplins. However, it was deemed too inconvenient and the concept was scrapped.
