New York is a magnificent city, bustling with people who come from all parts of the world. I was in Philadelphia to visit a friend and had a day to spare. I suggested we travel by the NJ transit to NY for 1 day. I was warned by him that 1 day for NYC is just not enough, but nonetheless I wanted to …

We only had a few short days to enjoy our annual outing to NYC and we had to pack a lot in!  My itinerary and notes are below. Day One: Flight to NYC - I was fortunate enough to upgrade to business class - and I'm soooo grateful.  I hate being on the plane for so long, and it's eve…

From april the 23rd till may the 2nd, we (my brother, a mutual friend and myself) were going to New York City, seeing the sights, enjoying the views, exploring the streets and do some shopping in the "City That Never Sleeps". We arrived around 4:30 pm at Newark Airport. We took a taxi to our hotel…

It's so freakin hard to try to say how everything felt.. How was it. Hmm.. Wonderful?? Freakin good?? I liked to be there and I think it was wonderful time. I had some time to see Harlem and how the life really is. One day we went to Relief- bus and we saw a fight.. One older guy tried to hurt one …

Another insane adventure to add to our experiences in the States! When we landed in the US and started making travel plans, we decided to go to New York as soon as possible because I have a friend from engineering college who stays there and knows the place well. And if not for him, we would’…

People from California freak out at snow.  The one and only time it snowed outside my childhood house, we all rain out into the backyard in started snapping pictures of the tiny little mothballs of ice floating intermittently in front of our cameras. One year, there was frost on the bridge and…

Have been to NYV to support my friend Tobias at his first full marathon.We went there with a marathon team and stayed at the Marriott Marquis Hotel located directly at the TimeSquare what was great!We had only 3 whole days, so there was not so much time to walk around and explore the city.

Ok so many of you know Im from Brooklyn, which is home of some of the most celebrated Hip-Hop Artists in the world...IE. Biggie, Jay-Z, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Fabolous, and the list goes on!

When we first arrived the weather was pretty horrible, with rain and low cloud cover for most of the time we were there. Our first impression was "Wow", we both felt almost a little weird in New York. I suppose we felt kind of dwarfed by the size of the buildings and the roads, no wonder New Yorker…

My dear grandmother has live in NY for almost 20 years and have NEVER been to the Statue of Liberty so....I told her "Mama, wake up early on Saturday and put your walking shoes on because I will take you out" she was completely clueless but she was very happy to see what I wanted to surprise her with and we had an awesome time! hope you guys enjoy the pictures of our beautiful day! =D

we left NYC in the morning...very sad. We then headed to Westport, CT to visit my cousins. I'm going back to NYC on May 27th, though, so I am happy :)

The next day we slept in. (We are lazy on vacation) then we got up and made our way to Central Park. I made the niece go to The Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art. (she was going to get some culture on this trip) but she wasn't thrilled so I checked out my favorite Monet's and then we played in the …

I checked my watch nervously, as my travel companion frantically tried to pick up a cell signal so we could call and alert Vincent to our delayed arrival. After difficulty in navigating Paris' complex transportation system, we just missed our southern-bound train and didn't want our host to sit…
