“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.

The FIDI Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I am honestly not one to leave reviews, but I had to because my fiancé and I had such an amazing experience with this hotel. The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming from check in to check out. The area felt safe with a nice bar right across the street and a subway station conveniently steps away. The room felt clean and comfortable and there was not a ton of noise keeping us up. We both agreed that we would definitely stay here again if ever in NYC. Thanks for a great experience!"

"It was our 2nd stay here. Clean, comfy and quiet rooms once more. Refrigerator, microwave and safe are a big win too. Subway station is opposite the hotel. Had a minor leak in the shower which was repaired within 5 minutes of notifying reception. The reception team was great with check-in, check-out and other needs. Will return again. "
