Geek tip: Midtown Comics
Midtown is the largest comic book retailer in the USA. They have three stores in New York: at Times Square, Grand Central Terminal and Fulton Street.
Ryan Penagos, Marvel Comics Editorial Director says:
“Without a doubt, you have to stop by Midtown Comics. They have three shops in Manhattan, each with its own vibe befitting its location, and they’re all packed to the gills with essentials for geeks of every ilk. I even brave the horrors of Times Square to get my comics from them.”
Washington, USA
Geek tip: The Steven F Udvar-Hazy Center
A part of the National Air and Space Center, aircraft on display include the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest jet in the world, and Enola Gay.
Alan Henry, Lifehacker.com writer says:
“I recommend the Steven F Udvar-Hazy Center, operated by the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum. It features great special exhibits, is inside a massive airplane hangar, and is the home of Space Shuttle Enterprise, and soon, Discovery! You can sit inside, see the SR-71 Blackbird, and walk through the history of aviation and spaceflight all in one day!”
Sonoma County, California, USA
Geek tip: Rancho Obi-Wan
The not-for-profit Rancho Obi-Wan holds the world’s largest collection of Star Wars paraphernalia, including every book ever published about Star Wars.
Amy Ratcliffe, Geek blogger at geekfemme.blogspot.com says:
“Rancho Obi-Wan houses the largest private collection of Star Wars memorabilia and is also the happiest place on Earth. Besides seeing over 200,000 collectibles from the saga, you get to hang out with the enthusiastic and knowledgeable Steve Sansweet. Take a tour! It will be a day you will never forget.”
