Love the pictures of Fifth Avenue and The Empire State building :) . It looks very classy in there and Gulliver looks so at home. :)
Yes - I know what it's like in USA Gulliver -you can't get a decent plate of cabbage or spring greens for love nor money ;) :)) but take care with the foreign vegetation! ;)

What is it with J and taking me to American skyscrapers? Luckily for me as it was a very overcast day none of the photos from the Empire State Building were any good...Next was another famous New York skyscraper, the Chrysler Building. Built in 1931 it was the tallest building in the world until the Empire State Building came along.

here's me in front of the Chrysler Building:

And here's me in the lobby. As you can see tourists are not allowed any further into the building, even small furry rabbits were not allowed in:

And to complete our tour of New York skyscrapers for today here is me next to the Flat Iron Building:

What do you mean I look a bit small in comparison? :-o What a cheek! Right, here's me again near the Flat Iron Building, proving size does matter :D

Gulliver factoid :-B The Flat Iron Building was designed by Daniel Burnham, the same bloke who laid out the street plan of Chicago in 1909.

The final stop of the day was Grand Central Station. Here's me outside:

And me inside:

Image

As you can see, Grand Central Station is 100 years old. It was completed in 1913 and restored in the 1990s.

The beautiful ceiling of Grand Central (and beautiful me of course :D )

Image

And Grand Central again. As you can see we were not the only tourists looking round!

The Empire State building lobby looks gorgeous, did you get to the top? Love the one of the flat iron building too, it's so unusual :-o

You've got some amazing photos again Mr G, are your paws sore with all this hopping around or are you travelling in comfort in Justines bag :))

I think you should make a Gullivers Guide so people can follow in your paw prints :)
