NEW YORK : TOP 10 THINGS TO DO

New York- My all time #1 favourite place on the planet (besides my couch).
So much to do here, people often never allow enough time to take in the ambience of this town and what it has to offer. After 6 trips there are still so many things I want to do. It's hard to narrow down to a Top 10 for me as I think you should see all of this town in it's entirety and if it takes you a lifetime, so be it. My Top 10 encompasses some of the not so common things to do and things that I think are kind of cool. Everyone knows they need to go to see the Statue of Liberty, Rockefeller Centre and the Empire State Building, you may not even think of going to the Christmas or Spring Spectacular. So see below for some of the things I love to do when in The Big Apple.


1) Go to a show on Broadway - click here for my tips on getting tickets
2) Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge
3) Radio City Christmas or Spring Spectacular Spectacular
4) Run, Bike or Walk thru Central Park (get the subway up to Central Park North (110th) and then walk down the west side path to 59th)
5) Have a Red Velvet cupcake at Magnolia Bakery on 6th Avenue.
6) Grab a slice of Cheesecake at Juniors
7) Take High Tea at The Plaza- click here for my review
8) Tour of Yankee Stadium
9) Take a tour with freetoursbyfoot.com, click here for my review
10) Have ice-cream at Chinatown Icecream Factory - I love the Black Sesame and the Zen Butter.

NEW YORK: NEW YORK PASS - ATTRACTION REVIEW

For those travelling to New York for the first time, The New York Pass is an absolute must.
It is available in 1,2,3,5,7,10 day options and provides admission to 80 attractions including Empire State Building, Rockefeller Centre, Madison Square Garden, Radio City, Statue of Liberty, Yankee Stadium to name a few.

I have used this pass twice and each time made use of more than what I have paid for it. The benefit of this pass is front of line access to a number of attractions (there is often a separate line).

Watch for specials that happen often on the website. Big discounts making this pass even better value.
Team a 7 day New York Pass with a 7 day subway pass and you have all your New York sightseeing paid for.

Click here to go straight to their website! Prices start from $90US for a 1 day pass (correct as at June 21 2015). A 10 day pass is $260USD (correct as at June 21 2015). Passes are for consecutive days.
