- Stay central in a Hotel with amazing views
I went to New York City for the skyscrapers so I needed a good view from my hotel window. I was so lucky and happy when the staff @nychitonmidtown changed my room from a room without a view to another one which has a gorgeous view overlooking Central Park, I floated on cloud nine.

- Central Park
- Magnolia Bakery @magnoliabakery
- Breakfast at Sarabeth's @sarabethsnyc
- Ici in Brooklyn @ici_brooklyn
Monique @tipatipa and I had our blogger-meet-up in this fancy French restaurant situated on Dekalb Ave. They serve authentic farm food to you. I had shirred eggs and I'm telling it's a must try brunch next time you're in Fort Greene.
You experience true NYC if you take the subway once in a while, this how real NewYorkers commute.
- Lyft Taxi @lyft
Lyft is an innovative way of getting a taxi in your city conveniently, you just have to download the lyft app unto your phone and you can find the nearest taxi to you in a flash, they then drive to you and take you to your destination. It helped me move from one hotel to the other without getting to stay on the street and wave my hands for a taxi.
- Yellow Cab
A yellow cab is just part of NYC life. You can try a short ride, it will make you feel like you're in a movie.
- The Halal Guys street food
The first evening we were in city I wanted something yummy but inexpensive to eat I saw the cart of street meal but don't want to spend too much, try the halal food vendors situated on the south-east corner of 53rd Street and Six Ave in the borough of Manhattan.

My overall experience in NYC, after thirteen years absence, was fun, carefree and inspirational. Everyone was so friendly to me. I can't wait to return.
FEW MORE SNAPS
If you have any other simple things to enjoy in NYC please leave comment :).
I'm jealous you got a room with such a great view! I wish I had had more time to explore the city and meet up with some of my New York friends this time. I may have to plan an independent trip just to do so
ReplyDeleteWe asked them as soon as they let us in the other room and we were so lucky they accommodated us in this room with a great view. :D
DeleteYou did get a deal on those Saltwaters. Mine were over $70 here in Canada!
ReplyDeleteWow, it can be expensive over here. I believe when you convert is about $45CAD, I really got a good deal :)
DeleteI did not nor have i ever step foot in a NYC Yellow Cab. I'm too afraid of the bill! Plus, I'm too scared to try to hail one! LOL. Central Park is amazing! Glad you were able to get that room with a view.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, it's really expensive to drive in a yellow cab but I did a short drive and it just felt awesome. I hope you get the chance to go there one of your awesome trips :)
