New York Travel Blogs

Thursday May 7 The last day in New York. Out of bed early and collect the food from the lobby again. This time the hotel was busy. This time I stayed downstairs longer. Drink more coffee and enjoyed my free time. I went upstairs to bring the food up. Now we have to rearrange the suitcases and try …

WOW!!! What a great weekend in NYC. I was a bit nervous about this one, just because of so many TB peeps who were coming. I am somewhat shy in large crowds and wasn't sure if I would be comfortable in this setting, but all my fears were soon removed.  I will admit, the wine and Patron helped m…

The following is my favorite excerpt from E.B. White's Here Is New York:   “There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born here, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, ther…

Here I am, sitting in Terminal 4 at JFK Airport! I arrived in from STL at 10:30 AM local time and my flight to Johannesburg doesn't board until 4:30 PM. So, I have around 4 hours to kill...and what better way to kill it than starting my Africa blog. The morning started at 2:30 AM (Missouri time) an…

Well, it was home time for the Scots in NYC. The other good thing about the Continental flight to Glasgow is it leaves at about 8pm, so you're also got most of the day in the city, and it's not a day really spent in the airport. We checked out and left our bags in the hotel until mid afternoon, wh…

(still a work in progress) Okay am finally getting a chance to start writing. Let's start at the beginning of how all this came about, here goes. Once upon a time in a land far, far away, there was a boy named Jeff who had just come back from the famous Amsterdam Meetup. He had such a good time t…

Theres nothing like New York City. As they call it the Big Apple or the Capitol of the World. It offers everything a person can desire and more. My sister and her friend came over to visit me for the weekend. I decided to take them to some of the famous spots in NYC. New York City is like an endless book, once you think the book has ended. Another chapter emerges. What can i say, the more i experience New York City, the more I LOVE IT.

Manhattan, New York. Some shootz taken from the city that never sleeps.

It was early morning. When I say early morning I mean 11am. It was the first time so far in my short visit to New York that I'd seen morning (having gone to bed and slept first) and today was the day of the picnic in the park. Jennifer had invited her friends from work and a few NY travbuddies to C…

A few weeks ago Lucian (lucian_32y) sent me a message saying he would be in NYC from February 14 - 15 on his way to Central America and wanted to know if I could spend some time with him while here. I told him I would love to. However, since it was during the work week, and my employer is a slave-d…

New York is a great place for EATS.... You can get anything you desire in NY and it will usually taste authentic, even if its something typically made half way around the globe. I am not going to lie, I am not a huge food critic... As long as its not moving, bleeding, or talking to me... Ill think …

The crisp winter air touches your face like a soft brush of a hand, as you stand and enjoy being in the moment on that high pinnacle atop the bustling city. Below you an army of little black ants scurry about with parcels in hand. A serene oasis of green emerges from between the concrete and neon l…

You do get to see more when you walk. BUT use the subway if you have feet that are not made for walking! Oh, and get a subway map so you can plan your trip better  :-) http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/submap.htmThis time I was showing my friend from Germany around New York City. I was surprised t…

The weekend began at Village Underground, Friday, April 25th, where the live house band played great music and drinks were to be had. Having worked the night before and it was very hectic on the floor that night, I spend all day Friday sleeping - drained and simply exhausted.  Meeti…
