New York, New York


 

I've always wanted to go to New York as long as I can remember. I love big cities. Maybe it's because of my age right now. But I wanted to go to THE city. Thanks to my company's bonus's we get for Christmas, I decided to save it for our trip in May. That helped pay for our flight and hotel the whole time we were there. We were in New York for about 4 days and did a lot but I have to admit, you can't do everything in New York with just 4 days. It rained the few days we were there but that didn't stop us. There is so much to do and so much to see that you have to at least stay for a few weeks. But I'm glad we got to do all the touristy things. Enjoy the pictures!

Where we stayed for our trip. Howard Johnson, Soho in China Town. I recommend this place. They're very friendly, helpful, free breakfast and good value for your money.

Our friend Melissa lives in New York and thanks to her she gave us tips and advice on how to get around in the city. We're so glad we met up with her! Hope to see you again Melissa!
 
This was in Little Italy where we had dessert.
 
 
 
Grand Central Station
 
Time Square
Time Square is so nice at night.
 
 
Carrie's House from the show Sex & the City (I have the whole collection and movies)
 
 
On the boat tour to see the Statue of Liberty (this was a huge deal to me)
 
Empire State Building. Right before we went to the top.

When you go to New York, you must try the pizza and cheesecake. They were both delicious!
 

 
There are a bunch of pictures but wanted to narrow them down. Going to New York was a huge cross off my bucket list. In fact, probably the first thing off my bucket list! Since we did most of the tourist attractions, I'd love to go back and do other things like go to a Broadway show. Until next time New York!
