    Looks like you had fun! Definitely walk over the Brooklyn bridge and grab a slice of pizza at Grimaldi’s next time. Glad you found the subway system relatively easy to navigate. I know a lot people are intimidated by it, but it’s not that complicated.

      Definitely did :) And will for sure be grabbing a slice of pizza the next time, and for sure a fan of the subway it’s a well put together system.

    Looks like you had a great time! My Mom and Sister went recently and they went to some of the same places you did. I’ve read all of Donald Trump’s books so they stopped at the Trump Tower in honor of me haha. I have never been to NYC but I would like to go there sometime within the next few years. Flying is a MUST imo, as I would be coming from Minnesota.

      Nice! We stopped by the Trump Tower as well, the lobby was beautiful. And definitely makes sense for the flying part, our drive was doable at about 8 hours and we got to stop off in Pennsylvania for some outlet mall shopping so it was a win win.

    I’ve lived in NYC for ten years and think I’ve had two or three celeb sightings total. Hells Kitchen is a great place to be, I love NIzza and basically every restaurant on 9th avenue between 42nd-57th. Did you not see a Broadway show? I would definitely recommend that if you ever come back. Also the Brooklyn Bridge and a day on citibike just riding around to different neighborhoods. SOHO and the West and East Villages are three incredibly neighborhoods to just wander aimlessly.

      Maybe I just happened to be in the right spot at the right time haha. Also wanted to go to a Broadway show but we just ran out of time, added that to the list of things to do next time, can’t believe I forgot to put that in. Also Soho, west and east villages are also on the list, I’ll definitely be staying longer next time. And Hells Kitchen was great, really enjoyed the place!

    Sounds like so much fun! I agree with Andrew on Grimaldi’s pizza in Brooklyn. I actually like walking across the bridge and then getting pizza (it helps burn some of the calories). I would add Museums on your to-dos for the next trip back. There are a number (the Met and Museum of Natural History) that allow you to “pay what you wish” so you can get in for next to nothing.

      Definitely a fan of burning the extra calories, and in all honesty I hadn’t thought of any museums first time around. I’ll be adding those to the list as well, and I’m shocked at the idea of the “pay what you wish”, Toronto museums don’t have the same policy.
