This is part 2 of the 3 part series of my vacation. This episode will be about all the things I did in New York City, so enjoy!!
We are gonna use the same riddle for this whole series so you have time! The riddle was: what has many ears but can’t hear?
Email me your answer at [email protected].
We drove from Philly to New York. You can listen to my previous episode to learn about my adventures in Philadelphia.
We used City Pass which is like a combo ticket for many places which helps to avoid long lines. I recommend it!
We stayed in a hotel very close to Times Square. 19th floor!
And we took the train to get around. That plus a LOT of walking.
If you have visited NYC, send me email with place you saw and places you wished you had seen.
Here’s the places we visited:
Times Square:
- I agree with it's "cross roads of the world" title - a fun place to visit
- The site of the annual new year’s eve ball drop, which began in 1907! It’s super fun to see on TV
Broadway:
- We got discounted, same-day tickets for "Dear Evan Hansen" at the booth in Times Square.
- It was very good and emotional, and it was an experience I’ll never forget
Statue of Liberty:
- We took a ferry to liberty island, and that same ferry also stops at ellis island
- The museum had a really good mini movie about the process of making Lady Liberty
- The statue of liberty was given to America by the French on June 17, 1885 by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi
- The status has broken ankle shackles to represent freedom from slavery, a torch to light up the world, and a tablet with America’s independence day
Zucotti Park:
- It had a ton of small mom and pop street food carts with various flavors and cuisines
- If you go to NY city, be on the lookout for these beautiful areas, you’ll really enjoy them!
9/11 memorial/museum:
- We visited the memorial for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001
- It taught me so much, and made me realize how hard it must have been
- There was a panel surrounding the Twin Reflecting Pools with all the names of those who lost their lives
Empire state building
- It was the tallest building when it was built in March 1930
- it is now an observatory deck on the 86th floor and you can pay extra go to the 102nd floor
- The view was breathtaking, but make sure to go on a clear day, or a sunset!
Central Park:
- 843 acres of trees and trails in the middle of a city!! Beautiful!
- We entered the park from the Strawberry Fields, which is not an area where you pick strawberries! It’s a memorial to a British rock musician, John Lennon, who was part of the Beatles.
Food
We had fantastic falafels from food trucks, great NY style pizza and also some over-priced, not-so-good meals. Make sure you eat the street food!
Brooklyn
One of my fav Bollywood stars - Shah Rukh Khan - shot a famous movie near the Brooklyn bridge. So I loved seeing that at night and take beautiful photos
