However, the city which is like no other is quite overwhelming. This post is not for those who have made NYC their home now, but this is for those who wish to see or experience this wonderful city in a different way.
* * *To tour the city, don't rely on your shoes or your car. Take any of those Hop-On, Hop-Off bus good for 48 hours. More coverage, very convenient, and you get a bit of trivia on the side by the tour guides. Definitely, more bang for your buck!
For the "culture" in us, visit the Museum of Modern Art - it is free on Fridays from 4:00 p.m. to closing time.
After all the walking and sight seeing, highly recommended is Bubba Gump Restaurant - inspired by Forrest Gump. Mouth watering New Orleans shrimp. Delicioso to the max!
At $50 round trip (Toronto- New York - Toronto) how could you go wrong with Greyhound's Neon bus. It has spacious leg room, Wi-Fi , and accessible drop-off/pick-up stations. Friendly, courteous staff too!
In case you get thirsty (which is very likely) - drop by Coldstone Ice cream - your choices mixed before your eyes - super yummy!
Looking for a place to stay? YMCA West - Walking distance to Time Warner Centre, Columbus Circle, Trump Tower and Central Park. Not the best accommodation, but very affordable rate for a bed and a decent washroom.
Despite being a well known city, New York still has some secrets. It is for you to discover.
i've visited MoMA twice on free fridays...it can get rather crowded with tourists, but hey, it's free!
ReplyDeleteand i don't have to go to NYC for cold stone, i live close to one right here in jersey! :)
hmm... we usually long drive to nyc every summer but didn't get to last year... after going through your blogs, im determined to make sure we go this summer!
ReplyDeletethey have bubba gump in manila but it was pretty pricey... seems like they just converted the $ to pesos... lol...
fortuitous faery,
ReplyDeleteIt was crowded on the Friday we visited. I'll enjoy it better next time.
wish there is coldstone here -- I love it's creamy taste that stays on the lips awhile but goes to the hips forever :)
Tingting,
I don't think NYC can be enjoyed at the first or second visit. Wish to stay there for long.
Bubba Gump is a must. Yes,it is pricey in Manila.
