Fall in New England is here with a display of colors in the foliage and crisp cool evenings.
Wrap-up from the World Stamp Show 2016 New York, New York
Just before the start of summer, all of us from the Hungaria Stamp Exchange had the incredible opportunity to attend the once in a decade World Stamp Show held in New York.
At the Show we saw the Penny Black Stamp, the first uniform adhesive postal Stamp in the world
and the boyhood stamp collection of Beatle John Lennon.
We also had the privilege to stand next to an actual Jenny bi-plane
and the corresponding rare inverted Jenny Stamp!
The World Stamp Show was exciting, informative and fun event for all who attended.
More so, it was a wonderful opportunity to re- connect with long time friends, as well as meet and form new friendships with collectors, vendors and international postal authorities.
Exploring New York City
After the show we got to explore a little bit of the delicious and diverse culinary scenes in New York City. The highlight was Andre’s Cafe Budapest in the Upper East Side. Andrew and Stacie joined Alan and other members of Society for Hungarian Philately and Hungarian dignitaries for a Hungarian feast.
When in New York City, what is more fun than enjoying the dazzling experience of Times Square and Broadway? Later in the week Alan and Diane had the opportunity to enjoy the broadway show Lion King with friends.

At the World Stamp Show, visitors were able to travel the world by stopping at the booths of the various international postal authorities that were present at the show to purchase a stamp and obtain postmarks from their respective countries.
