| The New York area is one of the largest in | | | | 4) Central Park: One of the most famous parks |
| the world. With approximately 8 million | | | | in the world and the most visited park in the |
| people being in New York City alone and with | | | | United States, Central Park is a wonderful |
| less than 900 thousand kilometers squared | | | | place to go on a nice day. Central Park is |
| radius, it is the densest city in all of | | | | actually bigger than 2 of the world's |
| North America! After a long anticipated debut | | | | smallest nations; Monaco and Vatican City. |
| we finally made our way to the Big Apple, and | | | | |
| we were so excited we could barely contain | | | | 5) See a local New York City Event: Take in a |
| ourselves. Going there has been a childhood | | | | ball game, a musical, or something at the |
| dream for us ever since we decided to be | | | | theatre! New York really has everything to |
| world travelers and see everything this globe | | | | offer no matter what your hobbies or |
| has to offer! | | | | interests are! You can usually find something |
| | | | very reasonably priced as well, depending on |
| The people, lights, Times Square, | | | | what you are after. |
| Rockefeller, everything seems so exciting! | | | | |
| This poised a big question though... What to | | | | I realize as most people do, New York tends |
| do? What New York City event to pick? Well, I | | | | to be quite expensive but with these travel |
| want to share with you some tips on New York | | | | ideas you can go out and have a really great |
| travel that won't break the bank! These are | | | | time and still not spend too much money. |
| all an incredible experience and I would | | | | There is plenty to see, even just going to |
| suggest doing them all if you can. Keep in | | | | see the landmarks and places like |
| mind there is no shortage of things to do in | | | | Rockefeller, Central Park and Times Square |
| New York City. You'll never get the chance to | | | | are well worthwhile! I really enjoyed my time |
| do everything, so do what you can, relax and | | | | just walking the streets and taking in the |
| enjoy what this wonderful city has to offer! | | | | atmosphere. |
| | | | |
| 1) New York City comedy clubs: This is maybe | | | | If you are planning to stay in Manhattan for |
| the best thing I can suggest if you enjoy any | | | | a week or so, I would really suggest picking |
| sort of comedy at all. It works out really | | | | up a copy of "The New York Pass", spend your |
| well because they have salesperson on the | | | | week and do everything you can. These passes |
| streets in the middle of Times Square, you | | | | are actually very reasonably priced (Starting |
| don't even have to look or try to find | | | | at $55.00 daily and only $139.99 for a 7 day |
| tickets. They will literally just flag you | | | | period, per person) and you get FREE access |
| down and give you a very good price (We only | | | | to literally almost EVERYTHING you could want |
| paid $20 for both of us) on the condition | | | | in New York City. Here is just a glimpse of |
| that you buy 2 beverages at the club. The | | | | what is here. Keep in mind these are only |
| nice thing about their special, for those who | | | | about a quarter of the free things you get, |
| don't drink alcohol you can buy any drink of | | | | not even including the other discounted items |
| choice. Soft drinks and water were accepted | | | | and special offers. |
| as well so it really can appeal to everyone | | | | |
| who enjoys this sort of thing and the cost is | | | | * Central Park Zoo |
| very low for the reward. It really was such a | | | | |
| great time, the comedians were fantastic and | | | | * CNN Studio Tour |
| we were very glad we decided to go. Highly | | | | |
| Recommended! | | | | * Empire State Building |
| | | | |
| 2) Times Square: I realize this must be on | | | | * Madison Square Garden All Access Tour |
| everyone's "top of the list" but it really is | | | | |
| an amazing sight to see. This experience is | | | | * NBC Studio Tour |
| something that you will never forget. The | | | | |
| lights, people, banners, you don't even | | | | * New York Aquarium |
| realize how crazy it is until you are there. | | | | |
| I must have seen Times Square on television a | | | | * New York Botanical Garden |
| million times but honestly it really just is | | | | |
| not the same. Spend a little time there to | | | | * Radio City Music Hall Stage Door Tour |
| take in the atmosphere. There are plenty of | | | | |
| very nice places to eat but the prices on | | | | * Rockefeller Center Tour |
| their novelty restaurants (Hard Rock Café, | | | | |
| ESPN Zone, etc) are very expensive. If you | | | | * Statue of Liberty / Ellis Island Ferry |
| want something for a very good price, check | | | | |
| out the side streets and look for the local | | | | * Suede Lounge (VIP nightclub access) |
| pubs. I would really recommend going at night | | | | |
| to see it lit up. A note to those who | | | | * The United Nations Tour |
| absolutely hate crowds of people, if you go | | | | |
| to Times Square don't go on a Friday or | | | | Well worth the money if you plan to do a lot |
| Saturday evening when it is the most busiest. | | | | of sightseeing, Museums and Tours. |
| We went on both a Saturday and Sunday | | | | |
| night... the Saturday was chaos, and the | | | | Here's a link to the page directly for those |
| Sunday was very nice and calm in comparison | | | | who are interested: |
| :) All the same, I really enjoyed both of | | | | |
| them in different ways. | | | | I absolutely loved my time in New York! I |
| | | | found it really offers you so much, no matter |
| 3) Rockefeller Center: We had the pleasure of | | | | what month, or what day, there is always |
| going during December month, so we got to | | | | something for you to do that is interesting. |
| experience the Christmas tree and Skating | | | | How can you not like that about a city? It |
| Rink all done up at Rockefeller center. This | | | | has everything and it is a great place to |
| is also home of the famous NBC Studios (Costs | | | | visit. I hope these tips on New York travel |
| $18.50 for the tour). | | | | were helpful! I know I can't wait for our |
| | | | next adventure, here in the Big Apple! |
