Hotels in New York City - Prices and Reviews

This is just my test entry to figure out how this travel blog thing works! Chris and I took a trip to New York City in August 2008. I lived there a decade ago, but it was Chris' first time in NYC. We stayed at The Harbor House on Staten Island, which is a small bed and breakfast right on the water with a distant view of the Manhattan skyline. It...

We arrived in Phoenix Arizona from NYC via Chicago yesterday. The driver of the car hired to transport us to LaGuardia set an all time land speed record averaging somewhere around 90 the whole time. We were both thrilled by the added value we felt that service provided. The trip was otherwise uneventful with the flights containing the usual armr...

New York City has always been a special place for Matt and I, especially before Christmas. We adore the lights, decorations, sales and overall atmosphere of the city around that time. Well before the trip happened, I knew this would be the best New York vacation yet!

On the flight from West Palm to New York, Matt surprised me with my Ch...

Today was cold but sunny. We walked to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, on Fifth Ave and looked for the Tiffany exhibit. We found it much reduced compared with what Ruth remembered from her first visit. But there was plenty in the museum to spend time admiring. Then lunch at the Cornell Club with Tarecq. This club is an oasis of quiet in the midd...

I got through the passport check point with no problem; however, since I was reentering the US port of entry, I had to collect my bags for customs and then recheck them once I was though. I waited, and waited, and you know what, waited some more. I...

Mindy and I went on a fantasy-like trip to NY city! Details to come

Normally, I am not excited to wake up at 5:30AM. And I'm not saying that today was any exception. However, a trip to the airport is always a good catalyst to get me out on the sunnier side of a very dark and iniviting bed. This morning was the usual mad dash to have everything packed and out the door on time. However, rather than the usual drab ...

Arrived in the Big Apple as prepared as ever with no clue of where we were going and where we were staying....Midtown Manhattan was our location where we finally found a B&B. Caught the NY sightseeing Bus for 2 days which brought us Uptown to check out the ghettos, Brooklynn and Downtown to check out many of the main attractions....Empire State ...

27 September - 3 October Arrived in New York after a 9 hour bus trip. New York is very big and busy. Had a look around the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, little Italy, Wall St and went for a walk in Central Park. The shops are very big and there are loads of taxis. Time Square reminds me of Picadilly in London. The nightlife is good a...
