Finally life is getting back to normal after David and I took a five night stay away to the city that never sleeps, New York. We booked the trip in September in the spirit of live for the moment, and in no time the holiday was upon us and David and I were jetting across the Atlantic.
We walked 73 miles down avenues and across streets. Downtown, Uptown, Harlem and Chelsea. Wandered the High Line and explored Central Park. Had a burger at Toms and waffles at a chocolate bar. Towered above the city at World One, before delving into the depths of a submarine. Fought the crowds on Fifth Avenue and marveled at the panorama from The Rockefeller. Stood in awe at the Brooklyn Bridge and went DUMBO (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass). Reflected at the 9/11 Memorial and took a ferry ride to Staten Island. All in all we had a fabulous trip. Here’s a flavour of our holiday.
Have you visited New York? If not which attraction would you like to visit?
Thanks for reading,

How totally wonderful. We went to NY for my 50th and I adored it. Ellis island was my favourite, with central park not far behind. Happy memories with my youngest son spotting the scenes in NY from Home Alone!

We were there a few years ago for our first wedding anniversary, it’s such an exciting place to visit, it felt like being in a movie because there were so many iconic landmarks everywhere. We went in autumn but I’d love to see it all decorated for the holidays. 😊

It was lovely a Christmas and all the shop windows all dressed up to the nines. There was one shop, Saks and they had a nightly light show projected onto their shop front. We had a lovely time. 🙂

I would love to go. There looks like so many things to see, you must feel like a whirlwind, getting round them all. I would love to go to central park and also see the Statue of Liberty. Christmas looks the best time to go! X

You would love it Sharon! Christmas was definitely the best time to visit however it was expensive! We didn’t bother with the subway just walked everywhere. Our feet killed us when we got back to the hotel every night, but we had very full days. The Brooklyn Bridge was my highlight. We managed to see everything we set out to do. We made lots of memories 🙂 x
