Hints and Tips


  • 1) Layer up. June will be warm but air con in shops/bars/restaurants will be on full and so it will be quite cool indoors.
    2) Go to the apple store on 5th Ave.
    3) Go to Abercrombie and Fitch, across from apple store on 5th. Staff all look like models and are half naked! ;0)
    4) Third day should be a light day as it's the day we'll be most tired.
    5) Go to the Olive Garden in Times Sq, free soup/salad with every meal and is very reasonably priced italian with great view of Times Sq.
    6) Visit at least one Irish Bar as they are lots of fun! :0)

Day 3 / Day 4 / Day 5


  • Day 3 - Gossip Girl Tour & Shopping

    Day 4 - SATC Tour and LOTS more

    Breakfast at Tiffany's

    After the tour go to Central Park and get some food - take in Strawberry Fields and The Alice In Wonderland statue
    The American Museum of Natural History is on the edge of the park so we can go there after the park
    The Julliard School is also quite close so we can do see this too if it's not too late

    Day 5 - Coney Island/Brighton Beach

    Breakfast (TBA)
    Stroll along Brooklyn Bridge and then catch Staten Island Ferry as they are very close by
    If poss (not looked into this yet!) we might be able to catch a Ferry from Staten Island to Coney Island and take in Brighton Beach on this day too?
