• Saturday Oddness

  Saturday we had time before going in to see Hubbies family in Far Rockaway NY. His brother and family are very religious and we had to wait for the sun to go down before arriving. Since we had plenty of time arriving in the City at 4pm, we drove into the east side or East Village of NYC to check out this store Obscura, Antiques and Oddities. We parked on the street and walked over to have a look.

  We watch the TV show Oddities that this store is showcased on. Link Here>>>>Science Channel: Oddities

  It is actually a new location that the store moved to so the shop looked different than the show but they still had all that creepy stuff in it.

  Hubby took a shot of the store front for me.

  

  Not the best picture but I was kind of weirdly intimidated and didn’t take a picture. We bought a Bee in a glass marble and a fake shrunken head key-chain for the boys, touristy stuff! While we were there, a bunch of young men came in and bought a skull for like 700 dollars. Yeah we were not about to buy that kind of thing. LOL

  I don’t know why I find this show really entertaining but I do. And I could say I am a small fan but not big enough to ask for an autograph apparently. We saw Evan from the TV show but I was way too shy to ask for  even a photo. Yeah I am odd like that.   The boys enjoyed looking around too but were not as taken in by the whole reality show celebrity thing like I was. LOL

  We finished the time walking around and shopping at other shops around. We really liked this one shop called Alphabets. And then ate a place called Bad Burger. Yes it lived up to its name. LOL The Guys liked it but I was not impressed.

  I think we go somewhere different every time we go to NYC. There is so many things to see and do there I should make a list.
