Stopping traffic in NYC Times Square 💥
#newyorkcitytrip
First time to New York and I’m already looking forward to going back! The food, the people, the overall vibes and culture - I get why this is one of the busiest city’s in America.
We made use of their extensive subway system to travel between Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx.
Everyone was so lively and kind.

Well well well. I don't know how to describe the experience at TIME SQUARE NEW YORK the world's most prettiest, hot 🔥, beautiful and attractive place. It looks pretty in the day light but as evening wore it's black shawl, the magic 🪄 begins and the place becomes people heaven. At weekends even it is difficult to find place to stand in the square. Life lighten here and you can't even imagine how too much time has been passed. A must visit place. One of my heartiest favourite place. 💕

My trip was to the United States
Full of adventures and exciting activities wherever I go
If you intend to visit New York, this is a report on my trip with the family that lasted 25 days to New York, Orlando and the Bahamas. It was an enjoyable trip in which we visited many important and interesting tourist places in both Washington and New York, such as Disney World, Blizzard Beach, Animal Kingdom and Universal Studios. Florida, Islands of Adventure, Sea World of Orlando, Aquatica, SeaWorld's Waterpark and Wet 'n Wild and other fun attractions Here is a detailed report of my trip and how to plan it.
Times Square
We got off from the hotel for a walk in the famous Time Square, as there you feel as if you are inside a movie, surrounded by cartoon characters from every direction, and filming with them at a cost starting from $ 5 and more, we enjoyed walking, photographing, buying souvenirs, and I searched for people specialized in booking the tourist bus, who are present almost everywhere There are two main companies, City Sights, the bus is blue, and Gary Line, the bus is red, I chose Gary Line with the type of ticket for all lines, which is better, and it was for two days only, with getting off and on at several stations, including the Statue of Liberty, the cost for an adult is $49 and children $39 inclusive Taxes, after we took the Times Square tour we went to the bus station where we took the night tour line and it was a fun tour of Brooklyn for 2 hours and there is a guide on the bus.
I will be posting a series about my NYC trip on more than one Trip.con post

Major check-in points in Central Park:

Finally, exit from 5th Ave, there are many food trucks selling chicken over rice on the street side (who knows, memories of after school in college, must add white sauce, now the price has risen to 7 dollars, it was only 5 dollars when I was studying haha)

Autumn foliage at Central Park
#fallishere
Central Park, nestled in the heart of New York City, is an urban oasis that transcends the bustling metropolis surrounding it.
Its sprawling red leaves and serene ambiance make it feel like a captivating forest in the heart of one of the world's largest urban centers.
There are plenty of playgrounds. Some of them are located next to the big streets surrounding the park.
It's a must-visit destination for anyone visiting New York City, a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in nature.
A Trip To Central Park NYC
#wecreate
The central Park is an urban park in downtown New York city. The park is huge and spacious and provides an escape from the busy lifestyles and hustle and bustle of the new york city life. There is lots of lush greenery and I appreciate the nature within the park. The sights are beautiful as you see a fair mix of floral and fauna with tall sky scrappers sticking out in the background. If you're lucky you get to see some animals within the park too, like squirrels, raccoons, some ducks, etc. There are several water features in the park and makes the place even prettier. Central Park is ideal for a hike, a jog, a stroll, a picnic or even just taking pictures. My pictures can't justify how awesome this place is and you should visit the park instead, if you are in New York City.

Brooklyn Bridge Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)
Relax on a cruise ship IN NYC
#newyortrip
Was on a Princess cruise en route to Halifax . Cruise ship was cruising by the famous New York City Skyline and of the the Statue of Liberty and not forgotten the Brooklyn Bridge
New York City skyline was one of the most amazing and beautiful in the world I have seen . A view of the New York City skyline from the sea is a stunning view which I highly recommend
A New York Icon
New York City has many icons and instantly recognizable sites and attractions. One of these is the Brooklyn bridge, connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn.
Of course, built for cars and the subway to pass, you can also walk across; something I highly recommend you doing. The Bridge is a wonderous work, standing high and majestically amongst the concrete jungle. You'll find beautiful scenes of the Manhattan skyline, which are stunning, while traversing this icon which has been there for a long time! You'll also pack in some calorie burning activity!

maximillian_aureliusravenwood Amazing collection of arts
#artshunting
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the world’s top museums and by far the largest in the American. My advice is to get a map. It is super big .When you walk in the front door there are three options: left, right, or straight. So at least you know which type of art you keen in from the map so you can save some time .
It can be very crowded with long line after lunch so try to go early . Not sure how much the ticket is but I remember it a bit steep but still worth the visit .
THE MET in nyc
The Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York City, colloquially "the Met", is the largest art museum in the Americas. Its permanent collection contains over two million works, divided among 17 curatorial departments.
try visiting THE MET at night instead of the day! it gives out a whole different vibe!! #nyc
New York - city of fashion
The fashion section of the Metropolitan Museum of Art is visually stunning - there are multiple layers of stimulation when you look at the lighting, the colours, the dummies, and somehow the temperature inside the museum. You get goose bumps simply out of respect and awe! If you become a member of the museum, they send you really informative highlights of its activities and updates of artists. The souvenir shops have a great collection of fashion design and sewing books…I ended up adding a lot of pounds to my suitcase! #CelebrateWithTrip #newyork #fashion #museum

Empire State Building Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)
After arriving in New York, I learned some things
🌃 New York is not just Manhattan
New York has 5 boroughs, and Manhattan is just one of them. In Flushing, Queens, you don't need to speak English, Chinese is more prevalent; Brooklyn is the birthplace of hip-hop; and once you leave Manhattan, it feels like you're in another world. Try to avoid the Bronx if you can
🛫️ New York has 3 airports, don't get them mixed up
Flights to and from New York domestically mostly use John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK); United Airlines' domestic flights to New York mainly land at Newark Airport (EWR); and LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is primarily for domestic flights within the US and is closer to Manhattan
🚗 In the US, it's tough to get around without a car, except in New York
New York has a 24-hour subway system and extensive bus routes, and taxis and Uber are also very convenient, unlike other American cities where driving is a must. However, New York's subway is indeed synonymous with being dirty and disorganized
🚽 In New York, restrooms are not readily available everywhere
If you come across a restroom in a mall or museum, don't miss it, go right away, otherwise, it's hard to find one. There are very few restrooms in subway stations
🎭 Watching a Broadway show doesn't have to be expensive
Buying tickets online in advance isn't always cheaper, and it might be more cost-effective to buy same-day tickets at the door, especially if you have a student ID
👟 In New York, please wear comfortable shoes
citywalk is the best way to discover New York, the distance between famous landmarks on Manhattan Island is neither too close nor too far, you really need a pair of comfortable shoes for the tens of thousands of steps you'll take in a day
🌃 The view of the Empire State Building is better from Rockefeller Center, but you should still visit the Empire State Building
Being in it may not give you the full view of the Empire State Building, but going to the top is more about sentiment and desire. Many believe that at the Empire State Building, you can encounter love, or reunite!
☕️ The kind of coffee shop in 'Friends' really exists
An unfamiliar environment can make one feel lonely, but at certain moments, it can remind you of scenes from American TV shows, which feels warm even though you've never met. But in New York, it's more about feeling lonely, getting used to loneliness, and enjoying loneliness
🏛️ Please reserve at least one day for museums
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Natural History Museum, MoMA, and other museums are worth spending more time to experience art
🤹♂️ The NPCs on the streets of New York all cost money
'Movie characters' and 'cartoon figures' coming over to take photos with you will charge you, don't be deceived by the false 'enthusiasm'. The CDs and lucky strings that street guys hand you are not free either
New york! Concrete jungle where dreams are made of!
Finally we are here! NYC, the city that never sleeps! It is a magical city. i would recommend walking to get around as you see more, yet the subway is super convenient and cheap (make sure to buy the week pass! it will help you save up a lot money) Also highly recommend to visit empire state building for the fantastic new york city day/ night view! You can purchase the ticket and make reservations in advanced:)
Iconic Building of New York
#celebratewithtrip
A visit to NYC is incomplete without checking out the unobstructed panoramic views of the city from the iconic Empire State Building. On a clear day, you can see up to five states from the Observation Decks - New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.
The Views is from the 86th floor where you can find the observatory deck . This is the highest open-air observatory in all of New York and offers 360 degree unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline.
16 floors above the Main Deck lies the Top Deck which offers an even better, but enclosed unlike the open air main deck.
Tip : go on weekday where the line is shorter.
Renting city bikes and going around NYC
what type of transportation do you think New York is missing?
you could flight there and then you can take a boat, you can ride a bike, you can rent a scooter, you can walk, or just there the metro or bus! Taxi and Ubers are always available as well!
let’s talk about the city bikes! do you have an Apple Watch or a phone? that’s great that’s all you need to scan the QR code and set up a payment! pay as you go!
Have a fun guys!
