“The Colgate Clock” is an octagonal clock facing the Hudson river near Exchange Place in Jersey City New Jersey. It is 50 feet in diameter and is currently situated 400 m south of where the headquarters of consumer products conglomerate Colgate Palmolive used to be situated before it left the area in 1985. This is actually the second Colgate clock built in 1924 to replace an earlier clock which was constructed to commemorate Colgate’s centennial in 1906. The original Clock now sits in the Colgate factory in Clarksville Indiana. For those of you who follow my Instagram feed, @nysimages, this clock was located directly behind me from where I took “The Long Exposure Selfie.

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a good hotel "

Hotel Edison Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay. The room was very big for a NYC hotel. The only things I could complain about…the doorjam to the bathroom sticks up too far and we tripped on it multiple times. The other issue was the floor in the bathroom would be soaked after showers because it was only a half wall of glass. Otherwise, we would definitely stay again. Dining options were great. staff was so kind. Loved the care basket when we checked in. Clean and quiet. "
