Well here we are again folks yet again thanks to Virgin Atlantics extortionate pricing I find myself with a weekend in NJ bummer huh.
I thought tomorrow I would head into NY so I was thinking a visit to Omega, Billy Reed and Tom Ford stores for sure - anyone know anywhere else Bond related worth a visit?
Was actually wondering if there are any shooting ranges in NJ I could bang a few rounds down the range with a PPK?
Cheers :-)

Assorted handguns are available for rental for those who have a valid NYC handgun permit.
In NYC and the five boroughs, a civilian cannot shoot/use/rent a HANDGUN or PISTOL without having a NYC Handgun License issued by NYPD License Division.
A place of sheer decadence, self- indulgence and showplace of weekly orgies
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
Still went shopping in Manhatten instead problem was the CT midnight blue DJ was more expensive than back home
Cheers!
Which CT store did you visit, Madison or 7th? Did they have a good selection of sizes on the DJ?
The 7th Avenue shop is much larger. All English clothes, however, cost considerably more in the US than in the UK. For most brands it's like they double the price after converting it to dollars. There are many more affordable options for quality clothes in the UK than in the US.

This was Sinatra's favorite Gin joint.
Rear Window: Grace Kelly has a waiter from "21" deliver dinner to a convalescing James Stewart at his apartment.
Breakfast at Tiffany's: In Capote's novella, the narrator spots Holly Golightly at the restaurant
Wall Street: Michael Douglas educates Charlie Sheen on the finer things in life (steak tartare and expensive suits).
In the series finale of Breaking Bad, Gretchen Schwartz mentions that she wants to have dinner at the 21 Club to her husband, Elliott.

“Listen, Bond… it’d take more than Crab-meat Ravigotte to get me into bed with a man.” Tiffany calls
the 21 Club a hot dog stand.
The 21 is also mentioned in Dr. No and OO7 in New York.
"Match me, Sidney."
"They moved out on to the street and Bond noticed that Leiter walked with a heavy limp. “In Texas even the fleas are so rich they can hire themselves dogs. Let’s go. Sardi’s is just over the way.”
