8/29/2019 0 Comments New York, New YorkTruthfully I was a bit nervous about New York, iv'e always heard about how overwhelmingly busy it is and how dirty some areas are but I really worked these ideas up in my head and New York turned out to be such an incredible place. The Must seeI wanted to provide you guys with a list of structures and places to see that are totally free! Some of the places listed have an option to pay for a more upgraded experience but for us we just stuck to the basics of sight seeing. The VesselTh Vessel is an interactive structure that opened up the beginning of this year. You do need tickets to get in, order them online 2 weeks prior to going! Times SquareRadio Music HallEmpire State BuildingYou should make it a goal to see The Empire State Building both during the day and at night. You can also buy tickets to get to the 86th floor for 360 degree views for about $40. Bryant ParkWashington ParkThe Must DoIt's no secret that there is endless activities to do in the city that never sleeps however these are the most memorable that we experienced. Liberty CruiseRiding on the Liberty Cruise was something we decided to do the night before so I was thrilled that we were able to get tickets on such short notice. If you're only in New York for a short amount of time and you're wanting to see it all this is the way to go! We were able to see The Statue of Liberty, The Manhattan Bridge, The Brooklyn Bridge, and a number of infamous buildings. Our cruise was 2 hours long and only cost $34 for two people. I would recommend getting tickets online and showing up at the terminal 30 min prior to your departure time. NYONBest experience of my life! NYON offers a doors on helicopter ride as well as a doors off-- DO THE DOORS OFF, you will not regret it! There is a good amount of wait time before even getting out to the helicopter which would be my only complaint. Buy your tickets ahead of time online and look for @nyonair on Instagram for discount codes before purchasing! Central ParkCentral Park needs to be on your "To Do List" for a few reasons. First of all its an iconic place, second there is no cost to get in, and third there is so much incredible things to do in this park. Carriage rides are available, you can rent a paddle boat for the lake, there is a zoo, baseball fields, park equipment and multiple street performers. You can easily spend half of a day making your way through the park. The eatsPre-New York our plan for food was to try a ton of different restaurants and different dishes but once we arrived our food plans changed to trying out as many pizza places as we possibly could. For four days we ate our way through the pizza shops and below you can read about our top 2 favorites! JOe's PizzaJoe's Pizza was my absolute favorite pizza spot! I tried a slice of mozzarella and it was truly to die for; thin crust, light sauce and fresh mozzarella! The only downfall is how small the shop is but this is to be expected with just about anywhere in New York. Ray's PizzaRay's Pizza was another one of my favorites, there's so many pizza options and the nice thing about Ray's is that there was plenty of seating Carlo's BakeryI would have loved to go to the original Carlo's Bakery but time didn't allow for it. We did get lucky because right in the center of Times Square is Carlo's Bake Shop which serves a number of baked goods and even entire cakes. I would highly recommend getting a cannoli and a personal Oreo Cheesecake. Expect to pay more than you would at any other bake shop, for the two treats we got our total came to $17.
