| a childhood dream for us ever since we | | | | park in the United States, Central Park |
| decided to be world travelers and see | | | | is a wonderful place to go on a nice |

| salesperson on the streets in the middle | | | | worthwhile! I really enjoyed my time |
| of Times Square, you don't even have to | | | | just walking the streets and taking in |
| look or try to find tickets. They will | | | | the atmosphere. |
| literally just flag you down and give | | | | If you are planning to stay in Manhattan |

| Highly Recommended! | | | | including the other discounted items and |
| 2) Times Square: I realize this must be | | | | special offers. |
| on everyone's "top of the list" but it | | | | * Central Park Zoo |
| really is an amazing sight to see. This | | | | * CNN Studio Tour |
| experience is something that you will | | | | * Empire State Building |
| never forget. The lights, people, | | | | * Madison Square Garden All Access Tour |
| banners, you don't even realize how | | | | * NBC Studio Tour |
| crazy it is until you are there. I must | | | | * New York Aquarium |
| have seen Times Square on television a | | | | * New York Botanical Garden |
| million times but honestly it really | | | | * Radio City Music Hall Stage Door Tour |
| just is not the same. Spend a little | | | | * Rockefeller Center Tour |
| time there to take in the atmosphere. | | | | * Statue of Liberty / Ellis Island Ferry |
| There are plenty of very nice places to | | | | * Suede Lounge (VIP nightclub access) |
| eat but the prices on their novelty | | | | * The United Nations Tour |
| restaurants (Hard Rock Café, ESPN | | | | Well worth the money if you plan to do a |
| Zone, etc) are very expensive. If you | | | | lot of sightseeing, Museums and Tours. |
| want something for a very good price, | | | | Here's a link to the page directly for |
| check out the side streets and look for | | | | those who are interested: |
| the local pubs. I would really recommend | | | | I absolutely loved my time in New York! |
| going at night to see it lit up. A note | | | | I found it really offers you so much, no |
| to those who absolutely hate crowds of | | | | matter what month, or what day, there is |
| people, if you go to Times Square don't | | | | always something for you to do that is |
| go on a Friday or Saturday evening when | | | | interesting. How can you not like that |
| it is the most busiest. We went on both | | | | about a city? It has everything and it |
| a Saturday and Sunday night... the | | | | is a great place to visit. I hope these |
| Saturday was chaos, and the Sunday was | | | | tips on New York travel were helpful! I |
| very nice and calm in comparison :) All | | | | know I can't wait for our next |
| the same, I really enjoyed both of them | | | | adventure, here in the Big Apple! |
