Last week, Dru wanted to know if there were any tacky tourist traps in the New York City area. NYC is chockful of them! In fact, there are so many I had a hard time choosing just a few!
Our first stop today is The City Reliquary. It’s a big museum crammed into a tiny little storefront in Brooklyn.
Next we’ll visit the Hello Kitty statues.
For lunch, we’ll be eating at The Jekyll & Hyde Club which according to our friends at Roadside America is like eating inside the Disney Haunted Mansion.
After lunch you can visit Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum or wander around the Big Apple and discover the many other wonderful sites to be seen.
Thank you for taking today’s Tacky Tuesday Tour!
Tonight on TV, we have Ruby and the Rockits (always good for a giggle), Warehouse 13 (for a touch of steampunk) and Surviving Disaster (where former Navy SEAL Cade Courtley will teach us how to survive a raging inferno in an office building). RESEARCH!!!! 
Didn’t do much steampunk research yesterday, but the zombie invasion is apparently still on the table. I can’t seem to scrub the idea from my brain. *g*
Reading: I started reading Twanged by Carol Higgins Clark last night, but I went to the library today, so I’m going to save it for when I’m finished with the library books.
Wow, so at least I can say I’ve been to two tacky tourists trap. I completely forgot about the Jekyll & Hyde Club and they are correct – it is a haunted disney house. Yep, been to the Wax Museum and there is this one corner that the workers stand absolutely still and when you walk by them, they jump out. Scared the dickens out of me.
I’m going to check out the other two sites.

The Jekyll and Hyde club sounds cool! Watch out for those Zombies and brains. *G*
Hope you found lots of good reads at the library! Have a good day!

Drats. I forgot about Ruby and the Rockits again. I wish they’d put the shows OnDemand so I could catch up. My son wasn’t feeling well so I was with him last night so even if I’d remembered, it wouldn’t have made a difference.
Ok, Hello Kitty wedding dresses are tacky, but statues????
