Rooftop bars in any city is almost a must these days. I can’t speak for anyone else of course but I generally find that my drinks taste so much better when they come with an amazing view. 😉 Needless to say, when we visited New York, Lloyd, Georgia and I decided that a trip to … Continue Reading
This is a photo diary so I’ll spare you all the waffle and jump right in! 🙂 There are a few photos we took on our long weekend in New York City when we decided to head off to Central Park. Photos were taken before (and after) our boat ride here … Read more: Best … Continue Reading
New York is incredible, and with so many cool areas of the city to explore, it’s pretty easy to get lost in finding the best things to do whilst you’re in the Big Apple. Honestly, with all the choice, it can be hard to whittle down what to do in New York; even if you’ve … Continue Reading
Last time we were in New York, I wasn’t able to get round to the Statue of Liberty. After all, visiting Lady Liberty is easily one of the best things to do in New York for sure. The time before that I saw it from a distance. This time, armed with our NYC Go passes, … Continue Reading
This is a fairly quick post and is the first of two posts! The next one will follow very shortly. Effectively, as you can see from the photos at the top of the Eiffel Tower, I love cityscape photos; especially ones taken at dusk. I’ve been fortunate enough to have been at the top of … Continue Reading
Unlike our time at the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island was never really a place I was fascinated by. Yeah, I understood its importance and its history (my lack of fascination with the place takes nothing away from that) but I just didn’t have the same yearning to visit the place. In retrospect, I guess … Continue Reading
Part Deux is here! Swiftly flying in following Numero Uno! As per my previous post with the view from The Empire State Building, here’s the corresponding view from The Rockefeller Center. I won’t waste your time on any more waffle. You know the drill! 🙂 Now that you have both, you can fully decide and let … Continue Reading
Grand Central Station is one of those places in New York that I often wonder why I pop in to see. Almost every time I’ve been here, I’ve had no business visiting the station. No trains to catch, no shops to visit, no business somewhere-nearby which means it’s convenient enough to just pop in… None … Continue Reading
The challenge: You’re breezing through New York for one night and need to catch a flight to London the very next day. Can you see all the major sights and get a good feel for New York in the next 24 hours? This is actually a real-life scenario we faced a while back and essentially … Continue Reading
Visiting New York’s Top Of The Rock is easily one of the best places for views whilst exploring Manhattan. Yeah, you’ve got loads of viewing points across the city, but there’s something really special about New York’s Top Of The Rock. For me, it’s a little bit of history, the location of Top Of The … Continue Reading
Knackered after a long flight from London into New York, I just wanted to get to the hotel and so we wasted no time in hopping into a taxi from JFK airport and headed straight for Wall Street (where the hotel was). We’d stayed at the hotel before and so I felt like I knew … Continue Reading

An all-time incredible city to explore. Visiting the best areas of New York is a must, as is visiting the iconic Lady Liberty and the Top Of The Rock but what about … Continue Reading
New You is a buzzing city to explore! It’s filled with so many things to do and the best New York attractions that are dotted all across the big smoke. That being said, with all these attractions, it can be tough to whittle down a manageable list that you can explore during your visit. It … Continue Reading
One of the greatest things about cities like New York is its ability to bring every type of food, from every part of the globe. Just like London, New York City has a wealth of quirky restaurants that will not only leave your tastebuds zinging but seize the rest of your senses in strange but … Continue Reading
