The big apple, how to travel New York City.

An introduction to my blog!

Hello all, this blog will serve as a guide into what different cities and states in the USA have to offer for travelling tourists through using a culmination of information gathered from other blogs, websites and books as well as a look into my personal experience of travelling through Central America this summer. 

Together, we will dive into what to visit during the day in these places, great restaurants and places to stay overnight, without forgetting to mention the amazing nightlife to immerse yourself in while in these parts of the world! 

New York City's Activity Menu

New York City offers an array of different activities and things to see before dark, some of the most famous tourist attractions in the country are found in New York such as the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and of course, Times Square, which epitomises the fast paced energy of New York with its bright lights and busy environment. My personal favourite central park however, offers a more natural and refreshing alternative, serving as a green oasis, situated in the middle of the concrete jungle in which you can row through the lake, join in on pickup games of football or baseball, or even just sit and observe the ongoings of New York life. For readers over the age of 21, social media and word of mouth from friends has revealed to me that Scallywags is a great place to have a drink at and socialise in during the later hours of the night, with cheap pints of beer and a friendly and welcoming group of regulars, you'll get a great taste of the nightlife in NYC. 


My friends and I opted for a mid price hotel to accommodate us for our stay. This proved to be an excellent choice. Costing just £35 a night, the Leon Hotel Les exceeded our expectations. Situated in the heart of china town, we had a picture perfect view of the famous Manhattan bridge, spoiler alert, where Matthew McConaughey chased down the love of his life Kate Hudson and confessed his true feelings for her at the end of How to Lose a Guy in 10 days. The rooms were spacious with double beds which were a dream to sleep in . Subway stations were all within walking distance allowing us wander around Manhattan and then explore wherever we wanted with quick travel to all of the previously mentioned.


Overall I would whole heartedly say that New York City is one of the best places I have ever visited and I am just desperate to go back in the near future.With loads to do, loads to see and brimming with food from all over the world, New York City truly does have it all.
