Does anyone think a "britsh two-decker" could mean a bus? I know there are two-decker buses there.
The red double decker buses in England is the first thing that popped into my head.

Columbia U

After further investigation I do not think Madison Square Garden is in play here. I think the subway system could still be in play possibly. After going to Columbus Circle I think we need to head around the park to the opposite direction probably to the north. I think Columbia University is in play as I have gotten things from the first and second videos there. The 4's all have to do with Gehrig. First to have 4 homeruns in a single game, July 4th was his farewell speech (luckiest man on face of earth) and (fireworks in second video) and he was first person to have his number 4 retired by his team. That explains Tom counting to 4 a bunch of times too.
Morningside Drive and Park (the sun reference), St. Paul's Chapel and Cathedral Parkway (the praying in second video) and statue of PAN outside of Low Library could also be the NAP of Tutty. Also Tutty being a potato in bed and the French reference, points to Pan as the statue is lying on a knoll and was first sketched in Paris and received a gold metal at the Paris exposition.
Tutty (the letters on Tutty's bed) was also shortened by the explosion to Tut who was king Tut and was I think thought of like a God. Pan was a God.
Gehrig also went to Columbia for football first before playing baseball and he hit long home runs to the steps of Low Library and the journalism building from South Field.
Also the crowns that I mentioned before......
There is a lot more I have found but I will stop there.

Re: Columbus Circle-good call

I think the Columbus Circle trail is good, especially with the 4 guys snf the names of the figures at the base of the Maine statue, the name of Nigel Gibson, and the "silver coast of Africa" globe. I think the globe at the Trump was hinted at in the first episode as well with the "Far side of the World" quote, among other clues. If the double-decker & under their brigde clues are linked to point to one of the 2-level bridges, then perhaps we need to find the subway line that stops at 59th St/Columbus Circle and then crosses over on one of those bridges. I'll check now and post back.

if you're thinking subways, that'd be the B and the D, which stop in Columbus and then take the Manhattan Bridge into Brooklyn.

But, here's another thing: double decker could just mean the buses. All of the tourist buses are red double deckered things.

and great call with silver cost = trump globe. i cant believe i missed that.

Just wanted to add that Columbia sits atop the Maine Monument so there is another pointer. Incidentally all the places I am talking about are at Columbia Univ. (Pan, St. Paul's Chapel, the streets Morningside and Cathedral, Low Library and the park is beside it).
This was not the place I had in mind, just to clarify but we will see what happens.

Crow's Nest

Not sure if this was mentioned before but the Crow's Nest is located on the upper deck of The Water Club: http://thewaterclub.com/

Victory Sign

While I do think the Maine Monument/Columbus Circle is on the right track (the SxSW track), I just wanted to throw this statue out there in case anyone is considering heading in a different direction:

It's a kid sort of flashing a V symbol, surrounded by two goats and two other boys (4 guys?). It's the entrance to the zoo not far from where we started.

I have nothing of substance to add -- just wanted to reiterate how awesome these videos are.

They sure are talking about the Crow's Nest a lot.

Columbia U

I think if we are talking about the C line which if you go to the subway and look, it is blue and white.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/59th_Street_%E2%80%93_Columbus_Circle_(New_York_City_Subway)
This link above wont copy right and go and copy and paste it and then go to it.

Isn't it a coincidence that the C-rock at Columbia University which is the emblem used by the columbia university sport teams is also painted on a wall of fordham gneiss (schist) right above the river line and it is also blue and white. Go check it out. Read bottom of page too.

I found this a while back too. It was put there by the rowing team...hmmm.
This reminds me of the schist outcropping across the water from the capn and tutty in the first episode.
