American Cultural Activities
This is a top pick! What's amazing is the amount of stuff there is to do in NYC and the fact that we only spent any money on going to the Statue of Liberty. On our second day in NYC we walked. We walked up 42nd street to see Theater Row, where we could only find two ...

Back in NYC

Back to the USA, starring Abby
This is a top pick! ... JFK to the world-traveler. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the convenience of a having friend who's enough of a sucker to pay New York rent that they have a place to crash. Ha! I'll show them: everybody thinks I'm exaggerating when I say my apartment ...
An Englishman (and woman) in New York
This is a top pick! ... from the throngs of tourists. It looks like a very nice place to be, as there are lots of bars, restaurants and theatres to visit. We didn't stay as long as we would have liked as we had to get the bus back to New Jersey but we'll definitely be ...

On the road again, one more time............
This is a top pick! I know I have been mighty quiet the month of February. And, I apologize for the flying below the radar behavior. I was waiting to see if I was in fact going back out on the road and if so when and where and for how long and it kept getting delayed and ...

This is a top pick! ... to look round the impressive building myself. Since I've been travelling on my own (and have no money), I haven't been out in New York at night. So I wanted to make the most of my night out at the theatre. I returned to the hostel to get dressed ...
