Liddy and I drove into NYC to visit the American Museum of Natural History, AMNH, on 81st Street & Central Park West. The complex is a huge amalgamation of buildings fused into one enormous facility. It has been many years since my last visit and through the years, except for special exhibits, little has changed. The same dinosaur bones and stuffed animals awaited us, but same or not, the museum captivated our imaginations and excited our interests in diverse subjects. We planned to see the whale, the dinosaur bones, and the elephants -- and we did. We also enjoyed viewing the history of our north eastern section of America. We arrived about 10:00 A. M. and by noon the crowds were overwhelming. Happily we had seen enough by then and wearily make our way to the exit.
Liddy was hungry for a bagel and tuna, so we stopped at the Tick Tock Diner on Route 3 in Clifton, NJ to visit a second cultural icon in the same day. The Tick Tock Diner stands out as an excellent diner in a state known for its diners.
