New York City | Reviews: Nice but limited, Governor’s Island was the site of two forts that were used well into the 20th century. The forts and houses and other military structures remain but have been abandoned. Some have been repurposed into art installations.
The Island is best described as an escape from New York City. You can get here in a few minutes from a Battery Park ferry, but although the island is almost literally in the shadow of Lower Manhattan (and offers many terrific views of it), once you turn a corner or go over a hill, the city and cars disappear and it’s a big park with pedestrians and cyclists.
It’s perfect as a recreational escape for a picnic and a stroll or ride. As an attraction, it’s very limited. There are a dozen eateries, but they are mostly good trucks and stands, not restaurants. The art installations did not grab my attention. The two forts have impressive exteriors, but there’s little to see at either one except the courtyards. There’s history here, but this isn’t a place to go to learn and see a lot., Traveled as a couple For my history buffs!!, If you like fort totten, but dislike the limited access (noon-4pm), 60% of it off limits to the public; fort Jay gives you that space away from the city, with the view of the skyline in the distance. It’s worth the trip if you prefer the old world style or just nature in general
Definitely not for everyone, as there isn’t much access to provision outlets etc but it’s great if you come prepared!
Pictured below is also a tunnel in fort totten I took, it’s nice comparing the architecture throughout the East Coast
Greenwood cemetary is also pictured. Can you tell which is which? 😏, Traveled with family Perfect location for a picnic or a family outing, It isn't as famous as central park, but just as amazing for a picnic or a family outing. The indoor attractions and guided tours were shut down due to the pandemic. Book tickets in advance if you are going during the weekends. Social distancing was a little tricky on the ferry, especially during the holiday weekends, but once you get to the island there is plenty of space to spread out. Rent a bike from the citibike stands in the island or the bike rental shop. This would be the best way to explore the island. The citibike stands get full towards the evening near the ferry docks, so you may have to bring the bike with you on the ferry and return it at the stand outside the ferry terminal in Manhattan (not sure about Brooklyn). The citibike stand at the far end of the island was empty though, so plan accordingly.
Food trucks are primarily around on just on the weekends (some on them on fridays as well), so options are limited if you come during the weekdays. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d136072-Reviews-Governors_Island_National_Monument-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | Governors Island National Monument | categories: Historic Sites Points of Interest & Landmarks | Description: This former Dutch governor's estate, former military fort and former Coast Guard command post now enjoys its old age as a historic monument where you can take the occasional tour. | Governors Island National Monument ; categories: Historic Sites Points of Interest & Landmarks ; Description: This former Dutch governor's estate, former military fort and former Coast Guard command post now enjoys its old age as a historic monument where you can take the occasional tour. ; Reviews: Nice but limited, Governor’s Island was the site of two forts that were used well into the 20th century.

New York City | Reviews: Nice photo stop of iconic movie site, Iconic film location from a favourite childhood movie, nice photo stop if on the area. Nice touch adding the various Ghostbusters logos and laughed at the inflatable marshmallow man in the window of the shop opposite. Constant stream of people taking pics when we were there and the fire crew obviously love it as they were sitting by the fire truck posing., Traveled as a couple Just as you'd expect, Having been in 2016nwhen it was being redecorated I was please to see it looking exactly as you'd expect.
First time we went (yes we went twice in this visit) the engine was just leaving so we got to see the engine up close. This is when we saw the small shop inside selling stickers, t shirts and licence plates.
Sadly as the truck had just left so had everyone else so I didn't get a chance to buy anything.
We revisited a couple of days later and after having a wander about and a lively coffee from a small place round the corner the truck returned again and we managed to buy a T Shirt. The guys there must be inundated all the time with visitors and photographers but they were all really pleasant.
Well worth the trip if your in the area or a fan of Ghostbusters. , Traveled as a couple Cool place, If you are a movie fun, especially Ghostbusters series, this is a must see place. Although it's only a FDNY, it's an iconic place. There is no problem to make photos outside. To make them inside, you need to talk with fire officers if you are allowed to enter. This place is a normal, working FDNY station but you can find Ghostbusters logo on the pavement as well as huge logo inside. Worth to take a subway to check it out.

New York City | Reviews: Beautiful for Sunset views, We have now been here a few times and enjoyed every time. The best time to visit in my opinion is just prior to the sunset on a clear day. It is almost unbelievable how good the sunset views are from the top of the Little Island. The whole area takes very little time to explore and has restroom and drinking water facilities with few food vendors around. The bleachers are a great place to relax and enjoy the experience. One suggestion is to walk the High Line park from the Hudson Yards to the Little Island (little less than 2 miles) or vice versa. You may even forget for a little bit that you are still in the city full of buildings and crazy traffic. Quirky place to visit, I was lucky enough to visit Little island a number of times over a 2 week period. During the day it's a popular attraction with plenty going on and it's only a stone's throw from Chelsea Market. I went to watch an evening circus show during my stay and it was a double show of the Circus and watching the sun go down over the Hudson which was something quite special.
Little island has all the amenities you need, toilets, seating areas and food stands although you're more than welcome to bring food and beverages along with you.
There is a really nice buzz around the place and I would recommend a visit. , Traveled with family A Bit out of the Way, Plan Accordingly, This is a bit out of the way from more popular tourist areas. Nearby is the Whitney Museum and High Line. Other than food stands dining options are a few blocks east in the Chelsea and Meat Packing neighborhood. Public transportation will drop you off on 14th street. MTA Buses get you closest with drop off on 10th Ave. and subway stops are a few blocks further east on 6,7,8th Aves.
The park has a lot to offer with a rolling landscape. There are scheduled public shows, some require tickets. As others said, it gets crowded and the highest point has limited space for the crowds to gather and take pictures of the many views.

New York City | Reviews: Recommended, It has very friendly staff. Also, it has unique collections which inform us of NYC's firefighting equipment and culture. I also like the memorial for the 911 firefighters. The entrance ticket is six dollars for children and ten (or eight) dollars for adults, which is budget-friendly.
A good place to visit if you want to know more about NYC and firefighting from a different perspective.
The only problem I have is with the photo collection, which shows one photographer's work. The artist seems to highlight certain parts of the photographs (e.g. an American flag) for artistic effects, but this makes the photographs themselves more subjective (seeing firefighting from the artist's eyes) than journalistic (seeing firefighting as it is).
Anyways these are my small thoughts. Great place to visit, The museum has an amazing collection of firefighting history and memorabilia. They do a great job of letting you just enjoy the exhibits at your pace and not a fast pace tour by everything. The staff was friendly and helpful and I enjoyed the museum., Traveled solo Excellent overview of both the NYC Fire Department and its history within the city, This museum provides an excellent overview of both the NYC Fire Department and its history within the city. There are lots of meticulously restored historic fire engines dating back to the 19th century, and a collection of artifacts related to the various volunteer and eventually professional firefighting organizations that have existed in the city (even before the merger with Brooklyn and other boroughs).
There are also specialized displays related to the horses and even the mascot dogs that have populated the fire stations at various times. The 9/11 memorial is poignant, as other the summaries of other major fires that led to losses of life.
The museums also coves the social aspects of firefighting organizations; such as how they also served as social clubs and some of the rivalries between them. Also covered is how the desire for better firefighting equipment and even city water pressure led to major civic improvements. A must for anyone interested in NYC's history, as well as firefighting fans. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d110276-Reviews-New_York_City_Fire_Museum-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | New York City Fire Museum | categories: Speciality Museums Bridges Children's Museums | Description: The New York City Fire Museum is the official museum of the FDNY.Occupying a renovated 1904 Beaux‐Arts firehouse at 278 Spring Street in Hudson Square, west of SoHo, the museum is home to a renowned collection of fire‐related art and artifacts from the 18th century to the present; including hand‐pumped fire engines, horse‐drawn vehicles, early motorized apparatus and firefighting tools and equipment. | New York City Fire Museum ; categories: Speciality Museums Bridges Children's Museums ; Description: The New York City Fire Museum is the official museum of the FDNY.Occupying a renovated 1904 Beaux‐Arts firehouse at 278 Spring Street in Hudson Square, west of SoHo, the museum is home to a renowned collection of fire‐related art and artifacts from the 18th century to the present; including hand‐pumped fire engines, horse‐drawn vehicles, early motorized apparatus and firefighting tools and equipment. ; Reviews: Recommended, It has very friendly staff.

New York City | Reviews: Holiday Light Show of Saks Fifth Avenue, For all those who are looking for a Christmas show I am sharing my experience of this years Saks 5th Avenue Light show. I look forward to Saks’ annual decorations of both the windows and front façade lights and not having the staple Christmas shows available this year, this light show brought a smile to my face. The show runs for about 5 minutes with the next loop beginning 5 minutes after. The orchestra music is soothing and is seamlessly complimented with an array of light combinations ranging from Ombre to classic red and green. There are safety reminders that are announced between shows. I went on a week night and although the viewing did get crowded everyone was properly masked and the crowd dispersed after the 5-minute show. It is a treat to see this show and is on my list to see again. First time to go inside, I went inside Saks Fifth Avenue for a visit in December 2021. It actually was the first time I went inside Saks Fifth Avenue. Normally during my December visits to New York City I view the light show at Saks Fifth Avenue in the evening from the outside. But it was too crowded this year. Going inside for 30 minutes was a great experience. It was great to see all the upscale brand names. But 30 minutes to see it was enough. It was crowded and I did not go there to buy anything. I exited and went to attend mass at Saint Patrick's Cathedral. Loved it - this is how department shopping should be, We called in here after visiting St Patrick’s Cathedral, almost next door. From the moment you step inside you are struck by beauty, class, color and style. It makes you feel special just to walk through so many gorgeous garments.

I look forward to Saks’ annual decorations of both the windows and front façade lights and not having the staple Christmas shows available this year, this light show brought a smile to my face. The show runs for about 5 minutes with the next loop beginning 5 minutes after. The orchestra music is soothing and is seamlessly complimented with an array of light combinations ranging from Ombre to classic red and green. There are safety reminders that are announced between shows. I went on a week night and although the viewing did get crowded everyone was properly masked and the crowd dispersed after the 5-minute show. It is a treat to see this show and is on my list to see again. First time to go inside, I went inside Saks Fifth Avenue for a visit in December 2021. It actually was the first time I went inside Saks Fifth Avenue. Normally during my December visits to New York City I view the light show at Saks Fifth Avenue in the evening from the outside. But it was too crowded this year. Going inside for 30 minutes was a great experience. It was great to see all the upscale brand names. But 30 minutes to see it was enough. It was crowded and I did not go there to buy anything. I exited and went to attend mass at Saint Patrick's Cathedral. Loved it - this is how department shopping should be, We called in here after visiting St Patrick’s Cathedral, almost next door. From the moment you step inside you are struck by beauty, class, color and style. It makes you feel special just to walk through so many gorgeous garments. We walked each floor just admiring the fashion, the merchandising was impeccable and the assistants were friendly and helpful if you needed advice. My husband purchased a beautiful, classic, tweed sports jacket that fitted him as if it was a bespoke garment and we were given great service with nothing but concern for our country once they realised we were from Australia given the current fires that are being experienced back home.

New York City | Reviews: Nice building with lovely Jewish artifacts, My friend and I came here in the morning and spent about an hour in it. It was very nice and very clean. Since we were there in the morning, there weren't very many people there and it was quite quiet. Lots of beautiful artifacts and the Sassoon exhibit was wonderful. Highly recommend this smaller museum to anyone who wants to learn more about Jewish history or just go somewhere that isn't as popular as the Moma or Met. We also went on Saturday, which we learned was a free day! Splendid exhibition about the Sassoon family, There are currently two exhibitions at the Jewish Museum. One, first-rate from both the historical and the artistic point of view, is about the Sassoon family, forced to leave Iraq some 200 years ago for India, eventually to end up in England, where they entered the highest levels of society. The poet Siegfried Sassoon is perhaps the best known, but there were other estimable family members. The second exhibition is a show of recent modern art with the title After the Wild, by artists whose connections to Judaism or the Jewish community is unclear. Go for the Sassoons! Superb introduction, Superb introduction to Jewish life in the New York area and the effects of their culture on modern America. The collections helped understand Jewish family life and traditions, mainly in NYC but also throughout the world. Even more important, the museum helped me begin to understand how Jewish peoples have contributed to the world, rather than emphasizing victimhood. I would still like to have had a deeper insight into how such a persecuted group could be so resilient, and why Jews seem to have been persecuted even today, but this was a good intoduction to this complex topic. The Museum was a bit weak on world history and the diversity of Jewish thought, so you may want to explore other options for those topics.
The Museum seemed to have a nice friendly ambience and the location was a plus. You can finish your tour with a nice walk in Central Park to help settle all that you have seen. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d106187-Reviews-The_Jewish_Museum-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | The Jewish Museum | categories: Speciality Museums | Description: The Jewish Museum of New York offers acclaimed art exhibitions that explore art and culture from ancient to modern times.

New York City | Reviews: Lovely greenery, This gorgeous park is located in the upper reaches of Manhattan and thus a bit less utilized than some of the other parks, but is no less amazing for it. There are plenty of walking paths, gardens, and history throughout the park, all of which contribute to a calm, serene outdoor experience. There's also an interesting nature sanctuary, and the entire park serves as a wildlife habitat for both birds and earthbound animals. The architecture in the park (benches and small structures) are consciously created and distributed throughout the park to add to the calming effects. The Cloisters, which are part of the Met, are also located in this park and are worth their own visit. Don't miss the rolling hills of Fort Tryon Park, I love Fort Tyron Park in Upper Manhattan. It is the most beautiful park in New York City with its rolling hills, beautiful gardens, views of the Hudson River and the home of the Cloisters Museum. It has so much to offer.
The nice thing about the park is that it is nice to visit at any time of the year. The views of the Hudson River from the paths gives it an appeal that no other park in the City has even Central Park.
Make an excuse to visit the Cloisters on a nice afternoon and just walk around Ann Loftus Park and watch the kids play and the families talk. Then take the paths up and explore the hills. You will be stuck by its beauty. ….an unique park in Manhattan!, ……the Fort Tryon Is an unique park in Northern Manhattan; a completely different park to any other park in New York City.

New York City | Reviews: Quick visit, We did go to see it as massive Friends fans. But at the end of the day it's just the outside of a building so not much you can review on it.
Nice area to walk around to get there. We tied it in with the High Line as it's about a 15 minute walk from the Friends building to the Southern tip of the High Line., Traveled as a couple The Friends Building!, Whenever I’m in NYC I always like to take a stroll through the West Village and Greenwich Village. These areas are quieter, less touristy and just generally nicer to escape to for a bit!
It is easy to see why these are sought after areas for residents with their narrow tree lined streets and picturesque avenues.
When walking along Bedford St you come across this, very recognisable building exterior that was used in the Friends tv show. Chances are if you don’t recognise it first, there will be a few other people around taking photos, not crazy amounts but there’ll probably be a few.
Definitely worth a stop for a Friends fan!, Traveled as a couple Worth a visit for a lifelong Friends fan!, I made this part of my downtown/Village visit part of my trip - including Carrie’s stoop too - and wasn’t disappointed.
Although it’s only the exterior facade of the Friend’s apartment building, it looks exactly as you’d imagine from all those episodes and worth the many blocks walked from midtown to find it for this huge fan.
It’s in a fab area that I imagine Mon, Rachel and co would’ve loved to have lived in (in their dreams!) as would I!

New York City | Reviews: Good show, nice theater, don’t count on in seat ordering, We went to finally see Harry Potter after not being able to see it during Covid. We enjoyed it greatly— the special effects were very cool and the play was well acted and well done.
We were seated in dress circle row C 10-16. These were good seats. You could easily see the entire stage. The seats were a bit small but comfortable.
To get into the theater, they quickly form 2 queues for vaccine card checks. They were very efficient with this and with security.
Our only hiccup is that they offer in seat ordering at intermission. This is a long play (both parts compressed to one show now) and we were quite thirsty by intermission. We ordered, the order went through but no drinks ever came. The line at the concession stand was far too long to get through (many people - most people) seemed to have to go without.
I definitely recommend going but I recommend you get to the show early enough to get your snacks and extra drinks before it starts. Don’t count on in seat ordering. The theater did refund us for the drinks (which weren’t cheap) after the show. But it would have been better to have the refreshments., Traveled with family highly recommended, Harry Potter and the cursed child...
This has always been on my bucket list for a while now. With pandemic shutting down broadway for more than a year, this was the most awaited broadway experience I wanted to go to...
Being a huge Potterhead I was crazy to go watch it.
It was indeed a magical experience, with some dazzling performances, awesome special effects, smooth transitions! I would particularly like to call out the dementors and poly juice potion effects( when Albus, Scorpius, and Delphi transform into Ron, Harry, and Hermione).
The first few scenes felt a little hurried probably because of the compressed schedule. (Pre-pandemic it was a 2 part show with a run time of over 5 hours). Now it's 3.5 hours with an interval.
Reading the book before watching this show is highly recommended.
Character-wise Albus and Scorpius won our hearts. We also loved moaning myrtle. Dumbledore’s portrait was very well displayed. The entire cast did a commendable job.
This show is in lyric theatre, right at the time square (Hard rock cafe street). It's very well renovated and clean. From the carpet to decor it very well represents Harry Potter.
I did not face any issue from beginning to end and assistants are there to help you in every way. While exiting from the right side, there is a gift shop as well.
I did not book tickets from any website, I purchased them from the theatre's box office 2 months in advance. In this way, I got a wanted seat at a reasonable price. $198 for Dress Circle Row E, 2 Seats 116 &117- no additional tax, nothing. Flat $198 for 2 seats
(Photos are from seat 116) The best staff on Broadway!, This theater is absolutely stunning across the board. We are from the Midwest and we took the train into the city to see the Cursed Child. We were running a little late, but our usher Asia was so kind and helpful. She waited with us until we could move to our seats in between scenes but made sure that we could both still see what we were missing. After act one, she even offered to move us to some empty seats that were much closer to the stage. The experience was unmatched at any other theater show we have seen in the past 5 years that we have been going and I cannot wait to go again!, Traveled as a couple | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d7183628-Reviews-Lyric_Theatre-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | Lyric Theatre | categories: Theaters | Lyric Theatre ; categories: Theaters ; ; Reviews: Good show, nice theater, don’t count on in seat ordering, We went to finally see Harry Potter after not being able to see it during Covid.

New York City | Reviews: Cool historic site, Teddy Roosevelt has a legendary history, starting at this house where he was born and grew up (viewing Abraham Lincoln’s funeral procession from a window) and continuing through years of adventure as a big-game hunter and rancher, military hero and great US President. The house itself was actually reconstructed after the original was demolished, and some of the items in the house are not original, but they got pretty close to matching the original, and there are interesting artifacts from Roosevelt’s youth such as his crib and a small chair. Two floors of the house are viewed on a ranger-guided tour. There’s a small and rather outdated museum in the visitor center area with fading, poorly-lit placards and several empty exhibit light boxes. The house was closed until recently and it’s too bad they didn’t use that time to spruce up the space for visitors, but it’s still an informative site with a lot of information about Roosevelt and especially his ancestors who acquired the house., Traveled solo Must see if you're interested in Teddy Roosevelt or early New York, Beautiful home (recreation of the original) and fascinating history. Our guide (the tour of the upper rooms is free) was knowledgeable and fun to listen to. He was very good at answering questions and didn't rush us through the rooms. You actually get to enter the rooms not just stand at the door and look. Downstairs are lots of interesting memorabilia about Roosevelt. Leave yourself plenty of time to look at everything! Wonderful tour of Theodore Roosevelt's family home, The Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace home is interesting tour on the early life of President Roosevelt. The house is a recreation of the original house that had been demolished on the same site. The house is as realistic as it was when the family lived in it. It is furnished in period pieces and some of the family heirlooms so that makes it interesting.
Being part of the National Parks system, the tour is very informative and thorough. You get to hear the history of the family, the dynamics of many members of the immediate family. You get to hear about the early members of the family and how his parents met and the history of the Roosevelt family.
Each room is tastefully decorated and you learn about how the family lived in a day in day out basis. What is nice is in the downstairs gallery is the original Teddy Bear that was made for the president which ended up starting the Ideal Toy Company and the shirt that the attempt on the President's life was made. I never knew this.
If you are interested in decorated homes or Presidential or New York City history, this tour of the home you will find fascinating. The nice part also is that since it is part of the National Park system, the admission is free. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d143273-Reviews-Theodore_Roosevelt_Birthplace_National_Historic_Site-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site | categories: Historic Sites History Museums | Description: The boyhood home (1858-1872) of the only United States President born in Manhattan.

The site includes galleries and 1865 period rooms with original objects that relate the story of young Theodore Roosevelt, his ranch days, presidency and exploration period. ; Reviews: Cool historic site, Teddy Roosevelt has a legendary history, starting at this house where he was born and grew up (viewing Abraham Lincoln’s funeral procession from a window) and continuing through years of adventure as a big-game hunter and rancher, military hero and great US President. The house itself was actually reconstructed after the original was demolished, and some of the items in the house are not original, but they got pretty close to matching the original, and there are interesting artifacts from Roosevelt’s youth such as his crib and a small chair. Two floors of the house are viewed on a ranger-guided tour. There’s a small and rather outdated museum in the visitor center area with fading, poorly-lit placards and several empty exhibit light boxes. The house was closed until recently and it’s too bad they didn’t use that time to spruce up the space for visitors, but it’s still an informative site with a lot of information about Roosevelt and especially his ancestors who acquired the house., Traveled solo Must see if you're interested in Teddy Roosevelt or early New York, Beautiful home (recreation of the original) and fascinating history. Our guide (the tour of the upper rooms is free) was knowledgeable and fun to listen to. He was very good at answering questions and didn't rush us through the rooms. You actually get to enter the rooms not just stand at the door and look. Downstairs are lots of interesting memorabilia about Roosevelt. Leave yourself plenty of time to look at everything! Wonderful tour of Theodore Roosevelt's family home, The Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace home is interesting tour on the early life of President Roosevelt. The house is a recreation of the original house that had been demolished on the same site. The house is as realistic as it was when the family lived in it. It is furnished in period pieces and some of the family heirlooms so that makes it interesting.
Being part of the National Parks system, the tour is very informative and thorough. You get to hear the history of the family, the dynamics of many members of the immediate family. You get to hear about the early members of the family and how his parents met and the history of the Roosevelt family.
Each room is tastefully decorated and you learn about how the family lived in a day in day out basis. What is nice is in the downstairs gallery is the original Teddy Bear that was made for the president which ended up starting the Ideal Toy Company and the shirt that the attempt on the President's life was made. I never knew this.
If you are interested in decorated homes or Presidential or New York City history, this tour of the home you will find fascinating. The nice part also is that since it is part of the National Park system, the admission is free. | [

New York City | Reviews: See a Show at Studio 54, Studio 54 conjures up a place that was a very wild disco for the carefree famous. Now it is a theater, a very beautiful one that still has its disco ball and a very cool atmosphere. We saw Pictures from Home which was absolutely wonderful, maybe more so seeing it in this fabulous setting. So if you’re going to see a show and one to your liking happens to be at THIS theater, go! You will enjoy both the show and this unique historic place!, Traveled as a couple Great theater experience, Saw The Minutes from a premium seat - heard and saw everything, and really enjoyed the show. The lobby had a machine where you could take your photo and have it emailed to you with a Big Cherry logo, but I'm not sure how many people were able to do that since the lobby was crowded from the start (I went in early to collect a ticket, so had time to redo my very bad selfies). The lobby staff needed to keep an eye on the queue, though, as we all lined up in the wrong direction and had to be turned around on the sidewalk. Front of house staff were friendly and helpful. Great Theater, We saw The Sound Inside. The theater did a great job of nicely getting nearly everyone to turn off their phones but 2 offenders still existed. The play was outstanding and it was performed without any obvious PA so the acoustics, which were excellent, played a big role in the intelligibility of the performance., Traveled as a couple | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d3672463-Reviews-Studio_54-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | Studio 54 | categories: Theaters | Studio 54 ; categories: Theaters ; ; Reviews: See a Show at Studio 54, Studio 54 conjures up a place that was a very wild disco for the carefree famous.

New York City | Reviews: Impressive space, It’s no doubt an impressive space especially from the outside. You’re drawn in by it, inquisitive to see what’s inside. Inside it’s a huge space and it’s also very impressive albeit a bit soulless. Worth a quick look., Traveled with friends Best Customer Service Ever! Shout Out to Gabe!!, Dior Store at Westfield World Trade Center Mall.
I had an amazing experience experience with the online but most profoundly with the store in lower manhattan.
i have NEVER had better customer service anywhere and I am not exaggerating. I was trying to determine if a Dior perfume product that is uncommon and that I had purchase from Dior online.
Gabe at the Westfield World Trade Dior store in NYC didn't know that answer and neither did his manager. He persisted and got my contact information, he called me back the next day and had gotten the answer that I hadn't been able to get online or from several other Dior stores. He was courteous and helpful even though I wasn't buying anything. From now on I will only shop at that store even though I live 200 miles away. , Traveled solo Very impressive Shopping Center in the heart of the Big Apple, Huge construction and beautiful architect solution! Great plenty of shops for almost any budget and some premium brands you are possible to find here as well. A lot of air give you chance to breath normally no matter how much people surrounded you here in a Christmas eves days! Nice options for small children to enjoy - as sweets, funny gifts to choose from, etc. So it's right place to visit it. Especially if you were next door - visited Memorial 9/11...

New York City | Reviews: Great Museum About Part of the History of our Country, This is one of the buildings that has survived modernization of our country. Fraunces Tavern has sat on the same corner for over 200 years. If you are happy with your quality of life and living in this country then take a moment and explore some of it's history. A nice collection of revolutionary war memorabilia and the history of our country. A lot about the history of the building. The restaurant downstairs does a nice job too!! Plan your visit to allow enough time if you want to read all of the information. We had a 4:30 reservation and upon entering were told the museum closed promptly at 5:00. With a suggested time of one hour to appreciate the museum I don't understand why they would sell tickets to enter with only thirty minutes to see all of their exhibit. Excellent museum of historic building & Revolutionary War events within it, The Fraunces Tavern Museum is an excellent museum of a historic 18 Century building & the Revolutionary War events that happened within it. The upper floors of this building contains the room where General George Washington said goodbye to his officers at the conclusion of the Revolutionary War. The Museum has several of these rooms laid out and furnished as they likely would have been during this time, with multiple signs pointing out their significance. Other gallery rooms have histories of the Revolutionary "Sons of Liberty" and a history of several building renovation efforts over the centuries.
The Museum is a good choice for any early American history enthusiast and for anyone interested in early New York City history. It's easy to get to by subway (several lines converge at this southern point of Manhattan) and the first floor restaurant is really good. Nice surprise, Loved the exhibit. Lots of different information about the revolutionary war era. The displays were authentic and had some nice photos also.
It was a much larger museum on the inside than it appeared from the outside. The price was great. We went on the 4th of July and only had to put $1.00 It was a bargain for sure., Traveled as a couple | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d309430-Reviews-Fraunces_Tavern_Museum-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | Fraunces Tavern Museum | categories: Historic Sites Architectural Buildings History Museums | Fraunces Tavern Museum ; categories: Historic Sites Architectural Buildings History Museums ; ; Reviews: Great Museum About Part of the History of our Country, This is one of the buildings that has survived modernization of our country.

New York City | Reviews: Zero Legroom, LONG Bathroom Lines, Beautiful theatre, great acoustics, but zero legroom for an average height person. Attempting to go to the bathroom during intermission was a horrible experience, perhaps the longest bathroom line I have ever been in, it wrapped back into the theatre and many could not use, to not risk being locked out of the performance. I would recommend sitting near the exit if you plan on using the bathroom and expect to have cramped legs. Amazing show, theatre itself has some issues, Hamilton was brilliant, the cast was fantastic and from any seat in the house I think you would get a great view, quite an intimate theatre. The seats are small, to be expected at a theatre this old! We opted for aisle seats for some extra comfort/legroom. Issues in my opinion - drinks are vastly overpriced. I had a “Hamiltini” which was vodka, apple and some lemonade in a short reuseable cup and it was $18 + tax and tip! I didn’t see any “free” water and only bottled for $9 + tax and tip. As others note, the que for the woman’s bathroom was very long at intermission., Traveled as a couple Great show, small theatre., We had seats L 10 and L 12 for the 2PM showing of Hamilton. These are amazing seats, however if you are of the fluffy size, you may be a bit squished. The theatre is small, especially for how many people are crammed into the theater.

New York City | Reviews: Greg & Kat’s Belvedere Castle Experience, The Belvedere Castle is one of the most iconic and widely visited attraction of New York City, NY.
Located in Central Park, the Belvedere Castle is a folly and a Romanesque & Gothic style building that was designed by notable architects, Calvert Vaux. and Jacob Wrey Mould in the early 20th Century.
The castle’s name “Belvedere” means “beautiful view” in Italian and since 1919, the castle has been open to the public to visit and tour.
In October of 2022 and on a gorgeous sunny day, I brought my wife and myself to visit Belvedere Castle, and we were in absolute awe of the beauty and grandeur of this well designed spectacle.
Additionally, my wife and I enjoyed the scenic views of the Great Lawn & Turtle Pond that can be seen from the observation decks of the castle.
When visiting New York, we highly recommend for everyone to visit, explore and take pictures of this beloved and perfectly made Central Park treasure!!!, Traveled as a couple CASTLE OR TOWER? IT IS STILL EYE CATCHING!, No doubt there was ample notification that Belvedere "Castle" was closed for some work being done. However, we didn't find out until we showed up. It wasn't a big deal, since there's still plenty to enjoy around it. Still, it would have been nice to go inside and look around.
If it still is closed, walk around the left side of the building to find great views of Turtle Pond, the Delacorte Theater, and the Great Lawn. During our visit, the theater was closed, but it was nice to see it from a distance.
By the way, while you're looking at the castle, make it a point to read the plaque inscription outside on the building. That's where you will find the description that raises the question in my title. Read for yourself. A little bit of Disney in Central Park, If you are walking in Central Park, you just have to visit this pastiche of a castle. It is almost like a Disney interpretation of a fairy take castle, just in miniature. There is a main deck, with castellations, and two more upper levels, which are reached through a 1-person wide turreted spiral staircase, so it is only one way traffic at ony one time and you may have to wait to go up or down.
Once up at the top level, it is a perfect selfie spot with good 360 degree views to the lake in one direction and over the Rambles in the other.
It doesn't take long to go through the entire place, but it is well worth a stop to visit here, especially if you have been walking around the park for a while. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d272516-Reviews-Belvedere_Castle-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4 | Belvedere Castle | categories: Castles | Description: ** This place is temporarily closed.** Originally built in 1869 as a lookout, this Rococo-style castle now houses the Henry Luce Nature Observatory and weather measuring devices. | Belvedere Castle ; categories: Castles ; Description: ** This place is temporarily closed.** Originally built in 1869 as a lookout, this Rococo-style castle now houses the Henry Luce Nature Observatory and weather measuring devices. ; Reviews: Greg & Kat’s Belvedere Castle Experience, The Belvedere Castle is one of the most iconic and widely visited attraction of New York City, NY.

If it still is closed, walk around the left side of the building to find great views of Turtle Pond, the Delacorte Theater, and the Great Lawn. During our visit, the theater was closed, but it was nice to see it from a distance.
By the way, while you're looking at the castle, make it a point to read the plaque inscription outside on the building. That's where you will find the description that raises the question in my title. Read for yourself. A little bit of Disney in Central Park, If you are walking in Central Park, you just have to visit this pastiche of a castle. It is almost like a Disney interpretation of a fairy take castle, just in miniature. There is a main deck, with castellations, and two more upper levels, which are reached through a 1-person wide turreted spiral staircase, so it is only one way traffic at ony one time and you may have to wait to go up or down.
Once up at the top level, it is a perfect selfie spot with good 360 degree views to the lake in one direction and over the Rambles in the other.
It doesn't take long to go through the entire place, but it is well worth a stop to visit here, especially if you have been walking around the park for a while. | [

New York City | Reviews: A soulless spot!, As a world traveller I want to see fabulous sites, landmarks and local curiosities. It’s just a shame that that incredible structure, the ‘Vessel’, at Hudson Yards is still closed to the public, as that to me would be the centrepiece of a visit to this new development towards the northern end of the High Line in New York, and not that high-end and totally soulless shopping centre that’s there. Such centres are a dime a dozen in my home town (London U.K.) and have no appeal to me as a tourist destination.
We visited Hudson Yards in the early evening just after Christmas to see what it was all about. The multi-storey shopping complex was resplendent in spectacular Christmas dress, but was totally devoid of shoppers and diners. I guess you can only have so much Louis Vuitton or Dior.
However, it was the ‘Vessel’ that was grabbing our attention. It is certainly a dramatic and interesting construction, and quite a soaring landmark. It’s worth going to see, even if you can’t climb it. And it’s quite a spectacle in the evening. Essentially it’s a spiral staircase, supposedly a focal point where people can enjoy new perspectives of the city and one another from different heights, angles and vantage points. Comprised of 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs (almost 2,500 individual steps) it certainly has the potential to draw in the crowds.
I’ll certainly visit the ‘Vessel’ when it reopens, but will give the shopping centre a miss!
The complex is a short walk from 34 Street - Hudson Yards subway station. new address in new york, Hudson Yards in Manhattan is the newest neighborhood in the city with skyscrappers and new identity and Luxury stores along with restaurants have made their way. I was there at Christmas and it was a sight to watch.
The Shops and Restaurants at Hudson Yards are filled with high-end designers and have become a destination for shopping in NYC. When you enter through the same side as The Vessel, you’re automatically greeted with a huge Christian Dior sign.
To appeal to the masses, The Shops at Hudson Yards also has Zara, Muji, H&M, and Uniqlo on the upper floors. For now, that’s about it. If you’re coming to the Mall at Hudson Yards, expect high-end stores rather than affordable stores to shop.
Part of the Hudson Yards development was connecting the mall to the High Line which would, in turn, generate lots of foot traffic. New York City provided three days of excitement, fun, and charm., I arrived in time to be in the audience of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday after which I had dinner at Junior's on Broadway. After visiting the United Nations and other sites on Friday I had dinner with friends at their home in West Harlem. On Saturday I visited the restaurant that was the exterior location for the coffee shop on "Seinfeld." I then went to visit Little Island and walked the skyline to the Vessel in Hudson Yards where I had lunch at the Bodega on the lowest level.

New York City | Reviews: Cross Town Traffic, This is a major wide street that crosses the island and features all sorts of special places. My favorite is Grand Central Station. But you can also see Tudor City, the Ford Foundation, and, of course, the Times Square area. I actually avoid Times square as it is congested with too many people and it's too noisy. Some big theaters. Of Course! You Must!, Take the time to explore 42nd Street during a NY visit. It is one street with an incredible amount of variety and places to explore. It's busy day and night, rain or shine and wandering this street during each of those times provides a wonderfully unique glimpse into the life of NYC. Busy 42nd Street, A two-mile long 42nd Street crosses Manhattan from the East River in the east to the Hudson River in the west part of NYC, and it is known for its busy pace, heavy traffic, theaters -- New Amsterdam Theater, New Victory Theater, Regal E-Walk Theater complex, movie theater AMC Empire 25, also Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. All these attractions are in the east part of the street, in the area of Times Square and Broadway. Then the street crosses the 8th Avenue and goes further down to the Hudson River.
The skyscrapers flanking the 42nd Street in the Theater District, are decorated with some stunning neon billboards and digital screens. The aerial views of the 42nd Street from the top of some high-rises show a very busy, non-stop street life; and in the evenings the 42nd Street lightens up even more, after the shows theater goers fill up the pedestrian walk lanes on their way to Broadway, that welcomes them with even louder buzz and entertainment. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d3546757-Reviews-42nd_Street-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | 42nd Street | categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks Historic Walking Areas | 42nd Street ; categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks Historic Walking Areas ; ; Reviews: Cross Town Traffic, This is a major wide street that crosses the island and features all sorts of special places.

New York City | Reviews: A Great Escape!, Having been to NYC a couple of times before and knowing too well how crazy the tourist laden area of midtown and Times Square are, I much prefer to spend a morning or afternoon strolling through the streets of lower Manhattan.
TriBeCa is one of those fun neighbourhoods where plenty is happening but your not getting tourists constantly stopping in the middle of the footpaths or groups taking up large areas.
A much calmer escape from the midtown madness!, Traveled as a couple Didn’t see the appeal, I was excited to stay in the neighborhood. I want to go with a local next time because I didn’t really see the appeal of the neighborhood on my solo work trip. Had some okay food, but didn’t really feel totally safe walking the streets in the morning. Also didn’t see much in the way of attractions outside of a handful of shops, some restaurants and a few bars. , Traveled solo Amazing fresh food, great portion size! , Love it here at Tribeca, they’ve got a gorgeous doggie Frieda who greets you as you come in. We ordered food for the first time here and it’s a sian cuisine. I got the king prawn Tom yum fried rice and there was about 12 king prawns on my plate! Great portion size, everyone was satisfied. Good music, fair prices.

New York City | Reviews: Wow! Loved it, We booked Wicked on a recent pre Christmas trip to New York for my friends 50th and the show did not disappoint.
It was just WOW from start to finish. Super story, great set, fantastic actors.
The show is at the Gershwin Theatre which was a short walk from the Riu Plaza where we were staying.
We were in the first upper circle to the right of the stage second row in and had a fabulous view.
The theatre staff where friendly and helpful and very efficient getting a large number of people into the theatre and seated.
We didn't use the bar in the interval so can't comment on the prices
But in terms of the show book, book, book you will love it. GO! GO! GO!, When I asked my niece what she wanted to do in NYC, her only request was "Wicked on Broadway"! I had no idea what to expect or what the show was really about. The whole experience was AMAZING! The theater is SUPER comfortable and I don't know that there is a "bad" seat in the house. The show leaves me speechless. So, so, so, so wonderful, incredible, amazing, breathtaking, thrilling....oh, I could come up with so many other positive descriptives. 150% worth it. A MUST SEE!!!!! Put it on your NYC list!, We picked up tickets for the 8pm show about a week before we visited and it did not disappoint! Lindsay Pearce has an amazing voice and was incredible as Elphaba. The production was wonderful and the Gershwin Theater was accommodation and spacious.

New York City | Reviews: Interesting museum in an impressive mansion, There were two interesting exhibitions at the time we visited, one focusing on W.E.B. Du Bois at the 1900 World Fair in Paris, outlining the condition of the Black population of Georgia, and the other on the work and ideas of Hector Guimard, the famous French architect and designer who was active from the late 19th century onwards. The third floor was devoted to international cooperation and peacekeeping, a rather different subject but also worth a visit. a worthwhile place to visit, This museum houses a hugely important collection focused on design. The key points of the visit start with the collection history and its building, which was the Carnegie Mansion.
Currently, there is an exhibit on design and planning relating to management of covid. The most important exhibit is on the third floor, devoted to the work of E McKnight Kauffer, who did graphic design in the middle part of the 20th century, an artist who had major influence in the field. This exhibit is comprehensive and engaging.
Anyone with an interest in design will find fascinating exhibits at this museum. We have visited many times, and it never fails to be engaging. Beautiful and free!, Very open, bright, clean. Architecture and woodwork are beautiful. Entry is free, but you must have a timed pass, obtainable online. There was a Willi Smith exhibit that I liked a lot (I had no idea he was a man or a black man). Loved learning about him. Also had a beautiful, colorful exhibit on contemporary Muslim fashion. They had several other exhibits as well, including some from their large permanent collection. Worth seeing for the architecture and their reading room alone (the glass room).

New York City | Reviews: Greg & Kathy’s General Grant National Memorial, The General Grant National Memorial aka Grant’s Tomb is a gorgeously designed domed mausoleum that is located in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York.
Grant’s Tomb serves as the final resting place of Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President Of The United States, & his wife Julia Grant. In addition to being a national memorial, Grant’s Tomb is listed on the National Register Of Historic Places & is a recognized New York City landmark.
In April of 2023, I brought my wife and myself for a visit to Grant’s Tomb and we were first struck by the beauty and sheer size of this magnificent landmark. We both understood that its great size and long-standing preservation of the mausoleum reflects the immense impact that Ulysses Grant had on the United States.
Grant was the top ranking Commanding General that led the Union Army to victory in the American Civil War. He would subsequently become a successful President Of The United States, during which he would work to protect the rights of African Americans and help reunite the country in the period known as “Reconstruction.”
When exploring the memorial’s interior, both my wife and I were impressed with the stunning mosaic murals which portray Grant’s most celebrated campaigns; Grant on horseback during the Vicksburg Campaign, Grant on Missionary Ridge; & Grant’s acceptance of General Robert E Lee’s surrender.
The highlight of our visit was getting the chance to view and take pictures of the sarcophagi, which contains the remains of President and Mrs. Grant. The sarcophagi are made of red granite and weight over 8 tons. It is very well preserved and is surrounded by the busts of five of Grant’s greatest lieutenants.
If you love art, architecture and history, then you definitely should take a moment to visit and explore The General Grant National Memorial!!!, Traveled as a couple Magnificent memorial for a great American, Ulysses S. Grant rose from an obscure background to lead the armies that won the Civil War, and then served two terms as President, fighting for the civil rights of the freed slaves. He was famous and revered when he died, and this enormous mausoleum memorializes him. The coffins of Grant lie at the lower level below a soaring rotunda that looks similar to the US Capitol. There are three mosaics depicting major military victories, Union Army battle flags and busts of his generals, but mausoleum is otherwise surprisingly sparse. Possibly this is because everyone knew about Grant: no explanation was necessary. The Memorial is a bit out of the way from Midtown Manhattan, but well worth visiting., Traveled solo Best seen in early morning, peaceful, I did not visit the inside of the memorial. From everything I’ve read, it’s simple, and not terribly in-depth. I went by on an early morning where it was completely deserted, the weather was cool, and there was a nice breeze. There were remnants of Memorial Day and a black lives matter demonstration. It was wonderful to contemplate world events while admiring the impressive architecture of Grant’s Tomb, the largest mausoleum in North America. Grant was a complicated, tragic character. I would recommend learning some about him, then visiting during a quiet time, to truly enjoy your surroundings. It’s in a nice quiet area near Riverside Park in the Harlem neighborhood. It’s less than a mile from the famous Apollo theater and could be part of a nice stroll around Harlem., Traveled on business | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d105812-Reviews-General_Grant_National_Memorial-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4 | General Grant National Memorial | categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks National Parks | Description: COVID-19 Response UPDATE: Beginning August 26, 2020, General Grant NM reopened access to: General Grant NM Main Plaza General Grant NM Overlook Pavilion With public health in mind, the following facilities/operations remain CLOSED/suspended at this time: General Grant NM Mausoleum and Mosaic Benches General Grant NM Visitor Center and Public Restroom Facilities Check Website for latest information about site access, virtual tours, and, upcoming events Site description: A Unit of the National Park Service, the site serves as the final resting place of President Ulysses S.

New York City | Reviews: Easy to Find and Access, We had a large bus group that saw Dog Man and it was easy for the bus to drop us off and pick us up in front of the venue. There were multiple stages, a coat check, and snacks and drinks were available. The Dog Man play actors had incredible voices and kept the kids laughing and engaged., Traveled with friends Stage 5 - Without You, The venue is easy to find and navigate. Stage 5 has very narrow seats - I very nearly didn’t fit at all. Thankfully the first row had ample legroom so that helped. The show itself (Without You) was fantastic and the intimate theatre space added to the experience., Traveled solo Rock of ages, Saw this show last night and was very pleased with the acting and venue.

New York City | Reviews: POTUS, One of the smaller theatres - more suited for plays than big musicals. The mezzanine restrooms only have 2 stalls so be prepared for the line. The seats weren’t too bad - roomier than many other Broadway theatres. The show itself is HILARIOUS but not for those offended by strong language. I loved it!, Traveled solo Classic theater, cramped seats with no leg space., Classic old theater I first went here to see Chorus Line back in ’77 and have been back several times. That said, the seats are cramped with no leg space. Glad I got a box seat the time for the space but it’s a (very) partial view for which you still pay top dollar., Traveled with friends An intimate venue, Theater is a small ways off Broadway. There's a large sign above the door that allows you to see it from a distance. It can be a little cramped, trying to que up and enter. The lobby and hallways are small. The design of the interior is older, so there's nice molding and chandeliers etc... we sat in upper balcony middle right 2 row from ledge.

New York City | Reviews: Great shopping , We spent way more money than we intended, but the concentration of great shops in an enclosed building has great appeal in the New York winter!
Most of the shops center around fashion but does range between athletic wear to more upscale-comfort clothing stores. Hodge podge of other stores that sale electronics, manicuring needs, etc.
We didn’t do the restaurants or the on-site hotel; but it could be an interesting experience worth trying.
Our favorite part about going to Columbus Circle during the winter holidays is the light up ornaments and Christmas carols that play periodically throughout the day. Unique and highly enjoyable., Dear 560edwardv, thank you for visiting The Shops at Columbus Circle and for your review!

High end (expensive) shops and a nice food venue called Tartinery (see separate review.) We stopped at the Amazon Books place. The is a Whole Foods on the lowest level.

In addition, I must add it has toilets which are not easy to come by in the city.
While walking towards the upper west side the rain started pouring down and we managed to hide in here while visiting shops.

New York City | Reviews: Amazing!!, In New York on a 4 day break and decided we couldn’t leave without seeing a show on Broadway - Both me and my friend thought Aladdin was incredible!! We were wowed from start to finish - I would highly recommend this show to anyone and everyone. Lots of laughs and little surprises along the way, what an experience!!
The new Amsterdam theatre is beautiful inside and we were thrilled with the cups we got to take home as a souvenir- a Coca Cola was $10, and when taking your cup back a refill was $8!! There is a short interval in the middle and the show finished around 9:30pm.
Aladdin in a MUST SEE if your in New York!!!, Traveled with friends Great show!, Aladdin was such a great show and I highly recommend seeing it if you are able to! I was fortunate enough to (and strongly suggest trying if you are local and have the patience!) win the lottery for tickets. We were seated in the orchestra very close to the stage for only $35! The view was very slightly obstructed but worth it for the price. It was a little less than 2.5 hours including an intermission. It very closely follows the Disney movie with a few changes/additions. The dancing/singing/stage sets were just fantastic!, Traveled with friends Amazing show!, Wonderful experience at the New Amsterdam Theatre. The employees did a wonderful job in getting everyone checked in at a timely manner, actually it exceeded my expectations. They checked for your vaccination status before you go in, they recommend you come 40 minutes early, once your vaccination status is checked you proceed inside to have your ticket scanned. The show was amazing. Loved it! It was so colorful and funny. The actor that plays Genie is awesome. Would definitely recommend this show for children of all ages.

New York City | Reviews: Greg & Kat’s Stephen Sondheim Theatre Experience., The Stephen Sondheim Theatre is a wonderful performance arts venue, located in the Theatre District of Midtown Manhattan, New York.
The theater was established by Henry Miller, an actor and producer in 1918 and named after American composer, Stephen Sondheim.
The Stephen Sondheim Theatre has featured numerous and world renowned theatrical performances, ranging from Pee-Wee Hermann & Ms. Doubtfire.
When celebrating my wife’s Happy Birthday in September of 2018, I brought and treated her and myself to view the broadway hit, Beautiful: The Carol King Musical at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.
We both found Beautiful: The Carol King Musical to be thoroughly entertaining and we definitely enjoyed the viewing of the show and the comfort of our seats.
The Theater’s staff were also very welcoming and courteous and did a great job on helping us to locate our seats in a timely fashion.

New York City | Reviews: Great Show and Entertainment!, This show will not disappoint! Steve's talent is exceptional and the show was 90 minutes of pure magic, literally! Steve's quick wit keeps the crowd engaged and clearly connected to each trick on the program. I can't recommend it enough for native New Yorkers and anyone visiting the greatest city on earth! Wondrous and magical!!, I have been looking forward to Steve Cohen’s Chamber Magic since I first met him months earlier. I knew from the first encounter I had to go experience the magic. The safety measures, the dress code, and convenience of booking the tickets were all well organized and top notch. I purchased front row tickets and I would suggest the same to anyone going. Mr. Cohen does a great job engaging the audience and having audience participate regardless of seating. I simply like the action and did not want to miss a thing. The show was incredible and amazing from start to finish. I was on edge of my seat wanting more. Mr. Cohen was great showman as well as I was wide-eyed and did not take my gaze from the stage. I was truly having so much fun and this was a memorable evening. Without revealing the show, there so many tricks that left me scratching my head and thinking for days afterwards. Mr. Cohen was very courteous and took the time to answer questions and tell stories of his trade. It was very personable and his class match the ambience of the show and the hotel venue. The hotel venue was luxury and definitely arrive early to marvel at art and architecture. It was absolutely money well spent and I have been suggesting the show to everyone for any occasion. Thanks Mr. Cohen., Traveled as a couple Intrigued and entertaining, Steve Cohen's magic show is amazing especially seeing it up close. He definitely incorporates the audience very well and is truly entertaining with his story telling. My wife and I appreciate dressing up for the occasion and had a great time. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d5496571-Reviews-Steve_Cohen_Chamber_Magic-New_York_City_New_York.html | 5 | Steve Cohen - Chamber Magic | categories: Theaters Theatre & Performances | Description: Previously at the Waldorf Astoria, now at New York's historic Lotte New York Palace hotel, Steve Cohen has distinguished himself as a state-of-the-art magician and mind reader.

New York City | Reviews: How did this place ever come to be?, What did I expect? Statues of suffering Irish people, I think. Not that. Not anything like that. From a distance it is startlingly low amid the tall buildings and in the month of March very drab. Brown grass and grey stone walls. Not a single tree although it is referred to as a park. Fantastically out of place. And then you walk around to the river side and read the quotes on the wall and walk thru the ruins of a stone house up to a view of the river. My husband was unimpressed. I read as many of the quotes as he gave me time for and started to cry. Many quotes concern the specifics of the famine in the mid-1800's. Others are about how to respond to hunger and its meaning in our current era. I thought of Ukraine and all the countries who depended on Ukrainian farmers. The overall message is quite complex and nuanced with much left up to the viewer. The property in that location must be worth millions and millions. I have such respect for the people who conceived of it and made it happen. If I lived in New York City, I suspect I would make it an annual pilgrimage site. Never Forget the Irish Famine, For those who have Ireland in their blood and who care about the disadvantaged, the Irish Hunger Memorial is worth a stop if you are near Ground Zero, the Freedom Tower, or closing a billion deal with Goldman Sachs. Just across the street from the Conrad Hotel in Battery Park City. The design of the memorial is to recreate a cotter field. The cotters were poor farmers who rented land in the West of Ireland. This group was largely wiped out by the famine in Cork and Kerry. Hence, the field is rough and filled with stones. The stones come from all 32 Irish counties. Along the sides of the memorial is a long flowing text that reports the facts of the Famine and other refugee disasters. The interior is currently closed, but visitors can walk around the outside. Tranquility at its best, This is one of my favorite monuments worldwide. The peace and tranquillity I feel here is like no other. Famine is a horror. Worse still, a man made famine. There was no need for so many to die in Ireland in 1845-47. There was food, but it was exported. Money came before lives. Situated where it is, near Wall Street, is important. May it tell every visitor that business & finance must be managed responsibly. Actions have consequences - in all spheres of live. Thank you to those who imagined to put this monument here. It inspires me in its powerful ordinariness.

New York City | Reviews: I hope this gem can be restored to former glory., It’s primarily a clearing ground for people taking boats to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. They’ve allowed the ticket vendor to overrun the park with their fences, ticket lines and hawkers. Some of this activity blocks access to memorials and statues. The lawns and gardens need work. Many restrooms were closed though I did find some that were open (rare in NYC). Some focused attention could restore this park to its former glory and I hope it happens., Traveled solo A lively park with some splendid sunset views, Battery Park is located on the southern tip of Manhattan. I would guess that significant foot traffic for the park comes from the boarding point for the Statue of Liberty ferry and the ferry to Staten Island, but viewed in isolation, this is a beautiful park in itself with some beautiful waterfront views. We walked around in the park just after sunset, and we're glad we did! The park had more of regular New Yorkers than tourists, when we were there - doing some runs or walking their pets and I suspect it is because of the late hour in the day that the number of tourists were less. There is a small memorial dedicated to veterans of the Second World War. Lady Liberty is visible but is pretty far. A number of skyscrapers are visible across the water, making for a relaxing and pleasant view. I highly recommend visiting Battery Park around sundown, the sunset and dusk views were magnificent! A lot of benches and spots to sit and enjoy a coffee or ice cream while watching the world go by. Battery Park - a living history, The sculptures and monuments in this never-used fort are a walking testament of NYC history and how commerce has always trumped the NY need for defence. The park has an array of fantastic sculptures with the downtown NY skyline as a backdrop. Well worth checking out the reconstructed models of the NY harbour through the ages at Castle Clinton (also known as Castle Gardens) This fort became a concert arena and later an aquarium. Built as a fort with an array of cannons as a knee-jerk reaction to the British occupation following the War of Independence, it never once fired a cannon.

New York City | Reviews: A short stop on a visit to the Central Park, This huge circular park is located just outside the Central Park, almost on a corner of Central Park. There are a number of tour guides selling horse drawn tours of Central Park near Columbus Circle. It is definitely less crowded than a lot of other parks in New York City. There are a number of vendors around the Columbus Circle/Central Park area selling food, ice creams and other things. There is a tall statue of Cristopher Columbus, in the middle of the circle. The statue was created as a part of the 400th anniversary of Columbus' landing in the Americas. The park is open from 6 AM until late in the night, according to the signs posted there. A number of options to shop and dine around this place (as would be the case with most other places in New York!). Easy access to the subway makes this a good point to stop by and enjoy the city vibe, especially if visiting the iconic Central Park. Vibrant Historic Area, What a powerhouse location at the meeting of Eighth Ave, Broadway, Central Park West and Central Park East along the SW corner of Central Park. Designed in 1857 as part of Frederick Law Olmstead's vision for Central Park which involved a rotary in the SW corner of the park. It abuts Merchants gate, one of the parks 18 major gates. For years it was called the "circle" or the "grand circle" until 1892 when the Columbus Monument was placed in the center of the circle. It is comprised of a 28' granite base, a 76' column topped with a 14' marble statue of Christopher Columbus. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The area is central to many of New York City's most historic and cultural places and things and is surrounded by Central Park, the Trump and Mandarin Oriental Hotels, the shops at Columbus Circle and more. The circle is also the municipal zero mile point from which all official city distances are measured. Happy Holiday Experience, New York City has a variety of holiday shopping venues and one of them is located on Columbus Circle and Central Park West. My wife and I explored the village on our way to Strawberry Fields. The village is similar to the Bryant Park Holiday Village on a smaller scale, with many of the same vendors. Selling many holiday gifts and offering many food options, the holiday village is a nice way to spend some time in NYC during the holidays. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d8492560-Reviews-Columbus_Circle-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4 | Columbus Circle | categories: Neighborhoods Points of Interest & Landmarks | Description: Suggested duration | Columbus Circle ; categories: Neighborhoods Points of Interest & Landmarks ; Description: Suggested duration ; Reviews: A short stop on a visit to the Central Park, This huge circular park is located just outside the Central Park, almost on a corner of Central Park.

New York City | Reviews: See before it closes!, It was everything I expected. I’ve never seen it before and it was my second Broadway show. The Orchestra was superb and the performance was outstanding. It was well worth it. The chandelier movements was surprising. The only negative thing I would say, which had nothing to do with the show, is that this show was my daughters senior trip gift and we had a nine year old sitting next to us that talked the entire time, smacked gum and put his feet on the seat in front of him. We were mostly able to ignore him. The show closes next month and we went on the 75th birthday of Andrew Lloyd Webber with a special playbill., Traveled with family The Phantom Reigns Supreme Again, I bought tickets for this show in July at risk due to Covid. So our visit October 30th was just one week after reopening. We needed iD and covid proof. First time at a broadway presentation and this was a smash for me and my wife! Holds about 1,800 seats and this was at capacity. I’m not a big opera fan (actually a die hard rock guy) but let me tell you, the music from the live pit orchestra was as a joy to hear and see as was the singing and acting. Ben Crawford was 100% spot on with a wonderfully captivating performance of both voice and acting! And the female lead Emile Kouatchou held up her performance equally well ( her role is usually played by Megan Picerno but not during this performance). I must say, the entire show from start to finish was absolutely joyous. Our seats were front mezzanine section E and could see everything and everyone, $150 each. There was a brief intermission about an hour and 45 min. and then the second act kicked in. Bathroom lines were very long but the basement bathroom was more accessible. There’s too much to say about the show than I could enter here, but take my word, if you want to enjoy a great show, this is the one. ( and most importantly my wife super enjoyed it so I was a hero 😊), Traveled as a couple Simply the Greatest, When I heard that my favorite Broadway play was ending after 35+ years, I immediately made arrangements for myself and teenage daughter to see it. There are plays and then there is The Phantom. The best score, storyline and performers measure themselves against this giant, and the raw emotion of the performance commands your attention from start to finish. The memories of THIS performance will not be forgotten and the standing ovation was truly earned. , Traveled with family | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d3451944-Reviews-The_Phantom_of_the_Opera-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | The Phantom of the Opera | categories: Operas Theatre & Performances | The Phantom of the Opera ; categories: Operas Theatre & Performances ; ; Reviews: See before it closes!, It was everything I expected.

New York City | Reviews: Hours of historical merit, According to NYCgo there are only 11 sites remaining in New York with a connection to this US Statesman. As part of a Hamilton themed tour, a visit to the Grange is a must. For those who are neither history nor Broadway buffs, the visit will be short, but it is free and in a part of town that is off the beaten path. Yet take into account the time it takes to get there and back. As others advise, aim your visit to coincide with the house tour. There are 2 films: one on Hamilton and the other on moving the house to its current spot. Both videos are worth seeing (they raised the house and moved it over a church!!)., Traveled solo Worthwhile visit, We really enjoyed our visit to Hamilton Grange. We got here before opening and got in on the first tour. Thank goodness, because a group of Scouts came in and the later tours filled quickly. So I'd suggest maybe showing up earlier in the day. There was some little things to see in the basement, then the tour of the house was very, very short - just three rooms and the entry. Though there wasn't a ton to see, what is there is well done and worth the time. Worth The Visit!, Because of the popularity of the Broadway show “Hamilton,” today, everyone knows who Alexander Hamilton is. Hamilton Grange is part of the National Park Service and is open to the public with free admission. Our tour guide was Ryan, and he did a great job of explaining all things Hamilton. The house was built by John McComb, Jr. It is a two-story, Federal-style house originally built on Hamilton’s 32-acre estate in Upper Manhattan. The Grange takes its name from Hamilton’s grandfather’s estate in Ayrshire, Scotland. It was completed in 1802, just two years before Hamilton’s death. It was the only home ever owned by Hamilton, and it remained in his family for 30 years after he died. On May 9, 2006, the Hamilton Grange Memorial was moved, once again, to nearby St. Nicholas Park. The park was picked as it was within the boundaries of Hamilton’s original estate where the exterior of the home could be restored to its original condition.
The home has undergone many changes. The Grange reopened to the general public on September 17, 2011. Today, we were able only to see the first floor, which consists of the front entrance hall, parlor, dining room, and library. There were two small rooms – one with a movie about the moving of the house and the other contained informative panels. The lower level is where you enter to start your tour. They have a gift shop; and, where the kitchen would have been is another movie on the life of Hamilton and another room that had more informative panels. The upper floors remain unrestored and closed to the public.

New York City | Reviews: Perfect Fall Day in NYC, Love the High Line during the fall and today was a treat.
Jumped on the High Line at 29th - 30th and walked around the Vessel and surrounding park area before continuing onto the High Line.
No crowds, sunshine and beautiful plantings along with art work makes the High Line a great way to see New York City above the street.
Amazing day outside and enjoyed the walk from 30th to 14th high above the city among the beautiful trees, flowering fall plants and fun pieces of art.
, Traveled as a couple Viewed magnificent architecture on a brisk day, Even on a windy, cool day in January, this park path is worthwhile. Mainly protected from big gusts, we were in awe of the perspective, both new and old buildings on the west side. Also - a great way to transport yourself too the trending meat packing district while getting your steps in., Traveled with friends Reclaim the space, A friend recommended this after we had lunch at Chelsea Market and I am so glad we did. I love that the City took an old railroad line and converted it into a walking space. We took the elevator up by Little Island and Chelsea Market and walked all the way to The Vessel.

New York City | Reviews: Take Me Out, Nice, historic theatre. Comfortable seating. We had Orchestra seats & had a good view of the stage. We bought last minute tickets on impulse & didn’t know anything about the show (Take Me Out), so it was a bit of a surprise when we had to put our phones in a lockbox for the duration of the show. Still, it was well done & we enjoyed the performance., Traveled with family Fantastic Staff Make Visiting This Smaller Theater a Real Joy, My husband, daughter, and I visited this theater to see “Come from Away” on the evening of Friday, May 20. We have seen many shows, mostly in Los Angeles, but also several in NYC and a few in Chicago. The ushers and other staff members at this theater were BY FAR the friendliest and most helpful we have ever come
across. We wish to thank them and say, “keep up the outstanding work!! You are a credit to this theater, the Schubert Foundation, and to NYC.”, Traveled with family Not a Bad Seat in the House!, We attended an evening showing of Come From Away at the Schoenfeld Theater and it was such a wonderful experience. The theater is small and intimate, but that really means that there's not a bad seat in the house. You almost felt like you were part of the show. It was easy to enter and to leave afterwards, as well, and the ushers were very friendly and helpful!

New York City | Reviews: Happily Upgraded!, We rolled over our reservations for American Utopia from November 2020 (when theatres were closed) to November 2021. We had balcony seats. There were four in our party. Upon arrival, what a delight to learn that our seats had been upgraded. Where to? The fourth row in the orchestra! Wow! What a treat! While we did not question why, I wonder if it was because we stuck with the tickets as a way to show our support of Broadway through the pandemic. (Others had the option of cancelling and getting refunded.)
The show was phenomenal. The theatre was the perfect venue. This is a classic broadway theatre with so much beauty, attention to detail in the decor, the red velvet and crystal lighting. Regarding staffing and safety, every attendee showed both proof of vaccination and their I.D. It was clear that everyone needed masks. Security was attentive upon entering. Seating (in the orchestra) was comfortable, with adequate leg room.
Staff was gracious. We hoped for coffee at the concession stand. Alas, that was not an option; but that was okay! Sound, lights, stage design, ease and flow of being seated and ushered out was all worthy of five stars. A perfect venue for a broadway production. New York New York at the St James, On 6/14, I attended a matinee performance of New York New York! I really enjoyed my time at the show. It’s always great to see an original musical! I found myself invested in most characters and was impressed by the execution of the beautiful choreography. Definitely recommend!, Traveled with friends Into the Woods, I bought a partial view ticket (mezz right, row C, seat 30) but with this show being staged mostly on the front half of the stage I didn’t actually miss anything.

New York City | Reviews: Smaller than expected, The indoor space seemed to be fully reopened but the outside still had scaffolding when I visited. The rotunda is beautiful but the museum itself is much smaller than expected and signage not as well done as other NPS sites. Overall, a very clean and historically significant location. Revolutionary War History, Federal Hall is famous as the site where the Continental Congress met in 1787 and subsequently inaugrated George Washington on April 30, 1789 as the president of the United States at was than City Hall (Federal Hall) New York City. .
It was 1790 when the Capital was moved to Philadelphia and Federal Hall became the seat of government for New York City until 1812 when it was demolished and rebuilt as a Customs House.in 1842. In 1862, Federal Hall became the U.S. Sub-Treasury,. Millions of dollars of gold and silver were kept in the basement of this building until it was replaced by the Federal Reserve Bank in 1920.
Today Federal Hall has a landmark and part of the Historic Wall Street District. Free tours are available of the building. The free tours encompass the history of the building focusing specifically on the Continental Congress and George Washington. Currently, Federal Hall is closed due to Covid-19. Small and quirky but historically important, Being into history and architecture, I added this to our itinerary. The site is historically significant – this where the Constitution was ratified in 1788; George Washington was inaugurated as the first US President; the first Congress sat; the Bill of Rights was drafted; and the Judiciary Act setting up the federal court system was passed. After the capital was moved, first to Philadelphia and then Washington, the site was used as a City Hall, then a Customs House, and, later, a national sub-Treasury (evidenced by the fortified steel and concrete vaults). History buffs should be aware that the Federal Hall was razed and replaced (the museum contains several models of the various iterations). The bronze statue of George Washington on the front steps is said to mark the location of the balcony where he was sworn in. The current columned marble facade was modelled on the Parthenon in Athens and the interior rotunda on the Pantheon in Rome. The building (now hemmed in by skyscrapers) and museum were smaller than I had expected. The highlight was seeing the bible used by George Washington as he took the oath of office. The exhibit about the 1735 John Peter Zenger trial, which established the principle of a free press, was interesting. Worth a quick peek if you are in the area. There is a printed self-guided tour which can whizz round in 30 minutes. There is also a free NPS ranger guided tour. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d143124-Reviews-Federal_Hall-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4 | Federal Hall | categories: Historic Sites Architectural Buildings | Description: Built in 1842 on the site of the first U.S. Capitol, this museum features items related to George Washington's inauguration, the Bill of Rights and old Federal Hall. | Federal Hall ; categories: Historic Sites Architectural Buildings ; Description: Built in 1842 on the site of the first U.S. Capitol, this museum features items related to George Washington's inauguration, the Bill of Rights and old Federal Hall. ; Reviews: Smaller than expected, The indoor space seemed to be fully reopened but the outside still had scaffolding when I visited.

New York City | Reviews: La Boheme, immersive beauty for all at The Metropolitan Opera, Life affirming treat for the senses and the heart, even during the dark days of Covid with management wisely insisting on masks and vaccination cards when we attended the tragic, yet beautiful La Boheme. This was Conductor Eun Sun Kim's debut with the Opera, so it was an added thrill to see her in action. While pricey, seeing all those actors and extras, and live musicians working more than justified the cost. Many thanks! Just fabulous!, This was my first visit to the Met. I attended three operas over a long weekend: Eurydice, The Magic Flute, and Cinderella. Even if you don't like opera, I recommend attending an opera here because being inside the Met is an experience in and of itself. In addition, I felt reassured that staff check vaccine status and require masks. For the most part, I had an easy time navigating the space even though I have a visual impairment. The stairs all have rails and are low rising, and I had no problem getting around inside the theater, since there are short rails between rows in the aisles. The bar and dining room are are very elegant and still in operation (I really enjoyed listening to the Champaign corks popping). I am not all that familiar with opera and was surprised at how much I enjoyed Eurydice. The story was touching, the music was beautiful, and at other times, I forgot I was listening to music and felt as if I were listening to conversation. I guess this is standard these days but they have subtitles facing each seat, which was very helpful. Unforgettable night (as usual), It’s always a true pleasure and a privilege to attend the Met Opera, where by night or day. We saw Rigoletto, which was astounding. I was especially blown away by the set design, but the performances were breathtaking too. This will have been my fourth opera at the Met, but each time I step into the concert hall I am blown away by the beauty and the magnitude of the space. It never gets old! Truly a remarkable place with so much history and talent behind it., Traveled with family | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d136064-Reviews-The_Metropolitan_Opera-New_York_City_New_York.html | 5 | The Metropolitan Opera | categories: Operas Theatre & Performances | Description: The Met opened in 1883 and is one of the most famous opera houses in the country today. | The Metropolitan Opera ; categories: Operas Theatre & Performances ; Description: The Met opened in 1883 and is one of the most famous opera houses in the country today. ; Reviews: La Boheme, immersive beauty for all at The Metropolitan Opera, Life affirming treat for the senses and the heart, even during the dark days of Covid with management wisely insisting on masks and vaccination cards when we attended the tragic, yet beautiful La Boheme.

In addition, I felt reassured that staff check vaccine status and require masks. For the most part, I had an easy time navigating the space even though I have a visual impairment. The stairs all have rails and are low rising, and I had no problem getting around inside the theater, since there are short rails between rows in the aisles. The bar and dining room are are very elegant and still in operation (I really enjoyed listening to the Champaign corks popping). I am not all that familiar with opera and was surprised at how much I enjoyed Eurydice. The story was touching, the music was beautiful, and at other times, I forgot I was listening to music and felt as if I were listening to conversation. I guess this is standard these days but they have subtitles facing each seat, which was very helpful. Unforgettable night (as usual), It’s always a true pleasure and a privilege to attend the Met Opera, where by night or day. We saw Rigoletto, which was astounding. I was especially blown away by the set design, but the performances were breathtaking too. This will have been my fourth opera at the Met, but each time I step into the concert hall I am blown away by the beauty and the magnitude of the space. It never gets old! Truly a remarkable place with so much history and talent behind it., Traveled with family | [

New York City | Reviews: Impressive Bridge, A walk across Williamsburg Bridge is well worth it, it is an impressive structure and carries, walkers, cyclists, cars and subway trains. It is a really cool spot with good views of the city. Once you've walked it, well worth also going across on the subway. Not the first place on a tourist's itinerary but it should be. Less crowded than Brooklyn, Third in a row across the East river, Williamsburg bridge connects Queens and Manhattan. It's an awesome steel structure and another famous bridge in NYC.

New York City | Reviews: Great spot for a photo, Visited the "Fearless Girl" on our way to the "Charging Bull" statue while doing a self guided walking tour around the Financial district. It was not crowded at the time, and we were able to take ample photos in various poses around the statue. Only downside was a crew setting up a large LED screen for some event later in the evening, that ended up in a couple of our photo backgrounds. Just a simple life-size statue in front of NYSE Building. , Physically speaking, the Fearless Girl statue is pretty life-size. And so, it's easy for tourists to surround it and not get a clear picture of it. People are easily photobombing each other because of how small the statue is, but again, it is life-size after all. So that's one thing to think about. Powerful but misplaced, The statue was interesting. It was a nice enough statue, and I agreed with the principal behind it, but not sure it should have been moved from its original location. The bull had a long line for pictures, while there wasn't even anyone looking at the statue when we were there., Traveled as a couple | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d13109380-Reviews-Fearless_Girl-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | Fearless Girl | categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks Monuments & Statues | Description: Suggested duration | Fearless Girl ; categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks Monuments & Statues ; Description: Suggested duration ; Reviews: Great spot for a photo, Visited the "Fearless Girl" on our way to the "Charging Bull" statue while doing a self guided walking tour around the Financial district.

New York City | Reviews: The BEST Transport company we have used, I cannot recommend this company more! I lead a tour group from Maine on an annual theatre tour of the city and from start to finish they were professional and punctual. Their team was responsive and communicated well and early for pick ups. One of the days, there was a mechanical problem with the original bus, and they sent us private cars within 15 minutes of the original pickup time. I have never worked with a company that problem solved like this and worked so hard to make sure our travelers all got where they needed to go comfortably and safely. Our group was so impressed and grateful for their efforts and all the drivers were great!
Thank you SO much to the entire team at NYC Perfect Transportation. You made this trip wonderful for all our travelers!, Hello Morgan.
It was our absolute pleasure serving you and the team.
We apologize for the original booking of the MINI Coach bus having mechanical problem.
And so glad for our SUV drivers being there on time for this Theatre event.
Thanks again for being such a good sport !!
Donny@nycperfecttransport, Written , April 15, 2023, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Professional & Stylish Transportation, My Wife & I had the Absolute pleasure in using NYC Perfect Transportation for our Airport/Hotel Transfer during our recent trip to New York.
From the very beginning of the enquiry stage Donnie was not only polite but very professional & helpful while keeping personable and it was due to this initial impression plus the product (Vehicles) on offer that lead us to make a booking for pick up & drop off for our transfer needs while visiting NYC.
We chose the Cadillac Escalade as we had a lot of luggage and wanted to travel in style, we were not disappointed!!
On Arrival at JFK we were meet & greeted by our driver Miguel who was friendly, courteous and professional. We were taken to our chosen vehicle which was parked just outside of the baggage claim exit, it was very clean both inside and out and extremely comfortable for our 40 odd minute journey into Manhattan.
For our return trip from our hotel to JFK we were delighted to be greeted once again by Miguel, which was great as My Wife and I were familiar and comfortable with him due to his exceptional customer service, the 40 odd minute return drive felt like 15-20 due to the great natural conversation we had with Miguel and thank him for making our transportation not only worry free but fun as well!!!
If you are planning a visit to NYC and require transportation not only to or from the airports or just any transportation around the city do not hesitate in using NYC Perfect Transportation as they offer a variety of travel options to suite all needs. Excellent choice for a group., We had 13 people in NYC for a reunion and two of those days we wanted to see different parts of the city and Long Island. Perfect provided a very clean and comfortable 14 passenger MB Van with an excellent driver (Jenny) and everything worked out great.

New York City | Reviews: Great place to walk with wonderful views, I visited the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir two times in December 2021 and one time in January 2022. It is a great place to walk. The first time I entered near Engineers Gate near the Guggenheim Museum. There was a grand view of the reservoir and the Upper West Side. The second time I also entered near Engineers Gate and walked to the north side of the reservoir and then the west side of the reservoir. I exited at the southwest corner of the reservoir and headed to the Great Lawn. On the north side of the reservoir, I got a great view of the reservoir and the Manhattan skyline including Central Park South. On the west side of the reservoir, I got a great view of the reservoir and the Guggenheim Museum. There is also a fountain. My final time in January 2022, I entered the reservoir at the southeast corner across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and walked north and then west exiting at the southwest corner. If one walks the entire reservoir, it is 1.5 miles. It is great to walk here and I hope to return soon. Massive reservoir, While studying in NY I did not make it to visit to reservoir, so after 7 years I made it a priority and I am happy I did.
The reservoir is massive and surrounded by a lovely track, despite the cold and strong wind there were so many people running and cycling, I was really impressed.
My girlfriend and I did not fully circle it as we had a tight schedule, but if you are in the city indefinitely sooner or later find some spare time to have a stroll around the reservoir.
I especially loved the fact that while walking there it seems we were so far from the hustle and bustle of the city, but as soon as you look up you see skyscrapers everywhere.
, Traveled as a couple An oasis among a bustling city, Nice tranquil reservoir with iconic views. Great way to go out and stretch your legs. Get off at 85th on the metro, and walk in. About 1.5 miles.

New York City | Reviews: magnificent! no tired rabbits in a hat, my number one tip is to remember to breathe. i caught myself holding my breath in awe of the magic in front of my eyes (or sometimes behind me in the audience). my boyfriend and i went to the magician on a mild weathered friday, unsure of what to expect.
we found the lady in white, who gave us instructions before sending us up to our seats. amidst dim lighting, the room was buzzing with energy. this buzz continued throughout the show. audience members were eager to participate (though I preferred to observe). dan white, aside from being a master of the magic craft, has impeccable comedic timing. he makes magic fun while keeping it elegant.
this was our best date night of the year and i recommend the show for local new yorkers and visitors seeking wonder. Incredible experience!, What a fun experience! The show was flawlessly laid out. There were no clumsy or awkward moments, no tech issues, no pauses. The show itself was amazing! Dan is incredible. He interacted with the audience a lot and made the whole experience one of wonderment and mystery! The magic was mind boggling with loud cheers and gasps after! It didn’t feel like a virtual platform at all - we felt like we were actually there, in a theater, having this experience. I absolutely recommend you buy yourself some tickets because this is one experience you don’t want to miss! We did this for date night and didn’t even need a sitter!

New York City | Reviews: I cried from laughing so hard!, This show was absolutely fantastic! If you need a good laugh, look no further. The show is a mix of improve with a play thrown in. The actors/comedians are some of the best I've seen, and I have seen my fair share. You don't need to drink to have a good time, the actors drink enough for everyone! But if you decide to, their cocktails are delicious. Make sure to buy stage-side tickets if you want to be part of the show. They interact with audience members throughout the show, defiantly worth the extra couple of dollars. Other seats are good too if you don't want to splurge or are on the more shy side! You'll still have a great time. Fun close up theater experience!, This was a great experience, close up with the actors! It's a bit irreverent but so much fun!
You can also bid at the start of the show to sit on the throne and be a part of the play! A minor part of course but we did that and it was awesome!
I can't recommend this enough if you're looking for a fun theater experience!, Traveled with friends Entertaining and Fun a Must-See, We LOVED this show. The actors are very talented and fun and mixed Macbeth with pop culture and improv. We were upgraded to stage-side seating in an already intimate performance space and also got to be part of the show. We laughed a lot and yes, got to hear some legit Shakespeare. It's an unconventional but fabulous night of theater and discounted tickets are available. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d6828267-Reviews-Drunk_Shakespeare-New_York_City_New_York.html | 5 | Drunk Shakespeare | categories: Theatre & Performances | Description: "The best thing to ever happen to the theater" Slate Magazine "A live action Drunk History" TimeOut Magazine "Zany, rowdy and debaucherous" New York Times.

New York City | Reviews: Have a blast in midtown Manhattan, You have to escape the room by solving puzzles and investigating clues. The clues and puzzles are challenging but not so much that you can’t solve them. You are guaranteed to experience many “aha!” moments when you realize how unraveling one puzzle leads to solving others. The excitement builds as the clock ticks...ticks...ticks and you race to escape before your 60 allotted minutes expire. Only when the adventure is over do you truly appreciate how ingenious the entire process is, and how critical teamwork is to the group’s success. Second Visit Best Escape Room Ever!, I’ve done a few escape rooms and none have been as fun as my first and I was starting to think an escape room experience would ever be able to match up against that first experience.
I went last Monday to this location and did the playroom with my wife and our son (4 y/o) and his friend. They were free to come in with us and able to give some (very little) help but it made it even more exciting to be rushing and trying to finish in time. Escaped with seconds to spare and a few hints from our puzzle master. It was our second escape room at this location and we even bought discounted gift cards to be able to come back a third time to do a new room.
Want to preface I’m very competitive and love puzzles and challenges. Did one other room here with a large group last month and it was fun but not as an immersive and interactive experience as with a smaller group. The employees are all super friendly and helpful and want to give you a fun experience. Highly recommend!, Traveled with family Stunning Theming, Amazing Experience, From the experience itself, the first escape room we did with them was so immersive and amazing, my friends and I immediately booked a second room (harder level) as soon as we stepped out (the 20% discount was also a motive). All the games/challenges, even in the second escape room we booked, are logically and strategically thought out. It's definitely not one of those places where you and your friends get stuck for a long time, and even scratch your heads after you hear the answer. The decorations and atmospheres in the rooms are incredible, very immersive. So fantastic that we even booked a third experience for the future! I also love how instead of buying specific time slots for a specific day, they allow you to buy gift cards, which the 20% discount is still applicable,
The employees at The Escape Game are super friendly and helpful, they kept an eye on us the entire time, A friend got hurt during the process and was immediately offered ice. That makes me feel very secure about the process as well. All rooms are also full sanitized. Would recommend this place to ALL my friends. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d18895596-Reviews-The_Escape_Game_NYC-New_York_City_New_York.html | 5 | The Escape Game NYC | categories: Escape Games | Description: The Escape Game is a live 60-minute adventure.

New York City | Reviews: A piece of NYC history, This piece of NYC history is unlike any Irish pub in the world. Preserved as it was 100 or more years ago, this is exactly how our Irish ancestors would’ve had their pints, which is what makes it so special. As soon as you walk in to the dark, beautiful interior with sawdust floors, you’ll be quickly sat down by a barman in a big table with other patrons (if you’re not a big group yourself). Then you’ll be asked if you want dark or light beer. Minutes later, you’ll be handed 2 half pints each with flowing, beautiful beer. All the hallmarks of Irish drinking are there - chatting to strangers, storytelling and pints that don’t stop coming. But what makes this place so special is that is a truly New York irish experience and totally different to a modern Irish bar. Absolutely must see in NYC., Traveled as a couple McSorley's is not to be missed!, To not visit McSorley's is to not have visited New York. Just go; doesn't matter what time of day. Order your ale of choice; and enjoy your time there. There is a warmth to the place that just makes it feel like home. Sure, you could spend all day looking at all of the memorabilia that is throughout the entire space, and some is absolutely worth it. Yet more importantly just soak up the vibe and the history of all that have walked through those doors, enjoy your Ale, and live in the moment. Just always make sure to tip your bartender and wait staff! Authentic and historic, Authentic historic bar, like drinking beer in a museum. Saw dust on the floor, choice of light or dark beers that come in two's. very easy to lose track of how many.
Beers were nice, although alot of froth but it was a good experience for us.
This place is real, and not mocked up for tourists and surely is unique having been set up like this in the 1850's.
look out for the wishbones hanging above the bar, and a whole load of other quirky bits that you could spend all night looking at. Waiter was good, and they do keep you topped up when running low.
Just go and try it! | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d220043-Reviews-McSorley_s_Old_Ale_House-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | McSorley's Old Ale House | categories: Bars & Clubs | McSorley's Old Ale House ; categories: Bars & Clubs ; ; Reviews: A piece of NYC history, This piece of NYC history is unlike any Irish pub in the world.

New York City | Reviews: JFK to Soho with NYC Platinum Transport, We used NYC Platinum Transport on our recent trip to New York as with 6 adults each with luggage we thought public transit would be tricky! Pickup at JFK with meet & greet inside arrivals & drop off in Soho at the door to our hotel, with the same in reverse on departure. The service itself, communication from the company & the drivers on the day of both journeys, the attitude of the drivers (Johilen & Benjamin) in terms of both driving style and skill as well as their friendliness and conversations, the cleanliness of the cars (Escalade) were all exceptional and without fault. A really great experience especially considering such a reasonable price in comparison to others that we checked, would highly recommend., Thank you for taking the time to leave such an outstanding 5 star review it is greatly appreciated and we hope to here from you again.
Thanks again,
NYC Platinum Transport., Written , February 17, 2023, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC., Traveled with friends Best Way to See Multiple Sights around NYC and Brooklyn area in one day, We loved our two days with Vinny at NYC Platinum Transport. He arrived early at our hotel in the theatre district in his beautiful black Escalade and took us to see a wide range of places, including a walk on the Brooklyn Bridge, a tour around Brooklyn's neighborhoods, two great restaurants there and the Dior Exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum and dropped us at our theatre for a matinee performance. The second day Vinny took us around Manhattan, including 15 art galleries we selected in Chelsea, a walk on the High Line, a scamper around the Little Island before visiting the Whitney museum, a visit to the 9/11 memorial, a rooftop restaurant for lunch and dropping us at another theatre for an outstanding musical. With his charming Queens lilt and deep knowledge of New York, Vinny is the perfect driving host to get more out of a day in New York than you could ever accomplish on your own taking cabs, Uber or public transport. He was there at our beck and call and you wind up saving money and time by using a private car service like Vinny's to get around the city efficiently and the bonus is he is really a funny and enjoyable guide to NYC. We will be using NYC Platinum Transport again for a theatre and art cultural blowout in May and again in September to tour Long Island when we head there for a wedding. Highly recommend this wonderful business! , Thank you very much for leaving such an amazing review it was an absolute pleasure meeting you all and taking you on your detailed tour. I hope to hear from you again.

I booked the transfers for a very short 3 night break break ,we were a British family with 3 teens . Given the short amount of time in NY I did a lot of research to make sure I found a reputable company to ensure reliability .
Booking process gave clear instructions, emails were answered within a few minutes , we booked the meet inside terminal option which was great to have a lovely welcome at the airport .
I had initially booked the transfer 30 minutes after our plane was due to land to ensure we were covered in case of delays . I was so impressed when we landed about 45 minutes ahead of schedule that the driver was already onto it and knew we had arrived .
Transfer home was equally as slick .
Cars immaculate with delightful drivers .
Super super impressed and made a great start and end to our break .thanks guys your the best ., Thank you so much for leaving Thais amazing 5 star review Kim!

New York City | Reviews: Thoroughly enjoyable for jazz us newbies!, We've been to NYC a few times, and were looking for some entertainment that was a bit different. We saw an online recommendation for Birdland Jazz Club, so thought we would give it a try even though jazz isn't normally a genre we would listen to. We looked at the acts performing for the dates of our visit, and checked out them on YouTube & Spotify to help us decide which night we would want to go. We decided to see the Ron Carter Big Band and thoroughly enjoyed it!
They also serve food, which is great because you can eat at the same time as enjoying a show, instead of rushing from a restaurant to an event. We had the mushroom risotto cakes and New York strip steak, both dishes were really good. I also had the BEST cosmopolitan cocktail I've ever tasted.
If you're new to jazz, then I would highly recommend anything with the Birdland Big Band. Wonderful experience, Visited this iconic bar on 16 October and was met with great music great food and drinks and service. Has a really good feel to it but I would recommend booking in advance particularly at weekends.
They do require each person to spend a minimum of $20 each on food or drinks which wasn’t an issue for us. Definitely recommend this place, Traveled as a couple Fantastic. Iconic. Memorable, If you are a fan of jazz, then Birdland is a must-stop when in NYC. They recommended buying tickets online, but I took a chance to buy my ticket at the door. It was not a problem, and I saved myself the $5.00 online "convenience" fee: $ 30.00 entry and a $20.00 food and beverage minimum. I went to the 5:30 show of the SUNY Purchase Latin Jazz Orchestra. How must it feel to be a college student and perform on such an iconic stage, a place where legends have performed? Pretty heady stuff. They were fantastic. I did have dinner, a green side salad, and the Cajun Jambalaya. It was okay, nothing terribly exciting, but then I did not go for the food; I went for the history and the 🎶 music. , Traveled solo | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d535079-Reviews-Birdland-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | Birdland | categories: Jazz Bars | Birdland ; categories: Jazz Bars ; ; Reviews: Thoroughly enjoyable for jazz us newbies!, We've been to NYC a few times, and were looking for some entertainment that was a bit different.

New York City | Reviews: Captivating from START to FINISH, This is only the second show I’ve seen, strictly speaking the third as I have seen the phantom of the opera twice.
I’ve got to say it was excellent from start to finish. Great voices and story telling, which captivated the audience for over two hours and twenty minutes.
Seamless set and costume changes with the whole cast taking part.
Would definitely recommend as a must see and will personally go and see it again too., Traveled as a couple A show with so many memories, Tonight’s Broadway attraction was Jersey Boys and we picked this from the selection at 1/2 price Tixs in Times Square.
Although it has been running for sometime and is now playing Off Broadway we really enjoyed re-living the music from our own teenage times. The story of how The Four Seasons came to be and went onto become Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. You forget what great songs and hits this group had and how amazing Frankie Valli’s vocal range was at this time.
The set is really simple, the cast is small with several actors and actresses doubling up. At times I struggled with following the dialogue given. My hearing issue but no such problems with the music and lyrics.
My husband really loved it as it took him back to when he was around 11-14 yo and on a Friday night he and his mates gathered together to play 2c pontoon, table tennis or darts + listen to Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons - each of the boys had their favourite song.
Show received plenty of audience appreciation throughout, a standing ovation at the end plus a s short singalong. , Traveled as a couple The buildup to "Can't Take My Eyes Off You"...Goosebumps, If I need to describe this show in one sentence: The entire show is a buildup to one of the greatest songs of that era, "Can't Take My Eyes Off You". You can feel it from the beginning that Frankie is not satisfied with his music until he sings this amazing multi-genre masterpiece.
Just go and see this show! I've got goosebumps just thinking about it. So good! | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d1383285-Reviews-Jersey_Boys-New_York_City_New_York.html | 5 | Jersey Boys | categories: Theatre & Performances | Description: Suggested duration | Jersey Boys ; categories: Theatre & Performances ; Description: Suggested duration ; Reviews: Captivating from START to FINISH, This is only the second show I’ve seen, strictly speaking the third as I have seen the phantom of the opera twice.

New York City | Reviews: Don't worry if you didn't reserve, If it's too late to make a reservation, don't fret, just show up about 1 hour before the showtime, and the bouncers will show you where to line up (just around the corner) for standby tickets. At 50 minutes before the show, they will come by to take down your names and tell you to come back at showtime. This place is just a block from Washington Square, so you can go there to wait out the hour (if it's not too late or dark), or grab a quick bite or drink somewhere nearby (lots of pubs and restaurants around). Be sure to be back before the showtime, and line up at the same spot you did before. The bouncers will come to get the standbys by the list. We had about 10 people in the standby line and almost all of us got in. But they didn't take anyone who came after that. The room was packed but service was impeccable despite that. There was a lineup of about 6 comedians, some were funnier than others but all were pretty good. We enjoyed ourselves - it was an unforgettable New York experience. The MC was a comedian who creates apps to help the homeless in the daytime and comedy at night, and he was phenomenal! So worth the wait and experience! We had salad and nachos. Salad was better. Non stop laughs (almost), Our party of three made reservations for the early Wednesday night show, pretty sure we would not have gotten in without them. Great drinks, the food looked good but we had just eaten so we did not order any. 3 of the 5 comedians were hilarious and I’m pretty sure we did not stop laughing for their entire set, 1 was meh, the other was interesting but did not quite hit the funny bone. The MC was also great. Be prepared to check your electronics. We will definitely be returning to this venue the next time we visit!, Traveled with friends Great Comedy Brunch, My son made reservations for 4 for brunch on New Years Day. They had four really good comedians and a comedic MC who was fantastic. The room is intimate, yet spacious. It cost $25 per person plus a 2 item minimum. Our server was great and efficient. They started on time and the food and drinks were good.

New York City | Reviews: Yes I'm old and still standing in line to play with the toys., On super special occasions, I can remember being taken to FAO Schwarz (which I would have sworn has a "t" in it somewhere) and getting to pick out a cool, one of a kind toy that no other kid in the neighborhood had. Of course, on our list of places to visit with my own kids was the toy store. Now at Rockefeller Center, you kind of get the whole Home Alone 2 vibe, we danced on the piano, played with battle bots, watched a magic show, got a fortune from Zoltar, introduced our kids to Pop Rocks, and ducked the incoming boomerangs. The boomerang guy deserves a raise, he slung dueling boomerangs around the crowd and never once clipped the old lady's freshly coiffed hair do or stunned an unsuspecting cell phone jockey. Now we have one of our own and can't wait to perfect our skills. Amazing, I always wanted to go to FAO since I was a kid. Getting to take my kids was an amazing experience. From the toy solider at the door to the piano from BIG it was spectacular. They had so many over the top friendly employees demoing product throughout the store. This store had my teenage son (that is too cool for his parents) to act and be a kid for 30 minutes. He didn’t want to leave., Traveled with family Kid fun!, The store was more modern than we anticipated and there's a wait during the holidays to enter the store. However, it was cool to be in a store dedicated to toys and my boys loved it. Lots to see and play with. Obviously on the expensive side, but fun memories and toys to bring home., Traveled with family | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d104372-Reviews-FAO_Schwarz-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | FAO Schwarz | categories: Speciality & Gift Shops | Description: Temporarily Closed A visit to FAO Schwarz is an experience unlike any other.

New York City | Reviews: Escape Room NYC- Awesome room and even more awesome host (Teresa)!, I absolutely love escape rooms! I’ve done a ton of them before, but this by far was the most professional, unique, and intricate one I’ve ever done. The theme was South Park - approved by Comedy Central - and it was a mixture of all different puzzles with hidden surprises and hysterical story telling.
The room WAS difficult, but our host was amazing! Teresa gave us a really good pep talk beforehand, which got us motivated. 4 of my friends had never done an escape room before, so they were very nervous. But they all got into it so fast! And whenever we were REALLY stuck, she sent us a little clue to lead us in the right direction.
After we escaped (2 minutes to spare) Teresa came back and answered ALL of our questions. We were so excited to go “behind the scenes” and find out how the puzzles all came together. She spent over 10 minutes with us as we went “ooh” and “ahh” over the numerous tricky sections. Honestly the explanation was just as fun as the room itself!
I can’t wait to try another room here- and I hope I get Teresa again as my clue master!!, Traveled with friends Tessa, I loved loved loved this escape room! The best by far. Our cluemaster was Tessa and she was phenomenal. Not only was she patient with us she was extremely informative and helpful. My party of 5 did in fact win the game. Thank you so much Escape the Room we will be back soon!, Traveled with friends Clock Tower Time!, I had a lot of fun doing this room with my friends, however I do recommend booking in advance as the room booking goes quick.

New York City | Reviews: Hysterically Educational- may prompt you to be a better human., Please people, stop burying your heads in the sand! For years humor has been used to bring to light issues that are hard to face but are our REALITY. Racism exists. Aids exists, rape exists, FGM exists! It's unfortunate that some people feel the need to turn a blind eye and ignore the issues by walking out claiming to be offended rather than face the discomfort they are feeling? Shame on you for not accepting reality, laughing and maybe DOING something about the issues rather than ignore it, claiming a moral high ground. This show is irreverently funny- is inappropriate towards EVERYONE (no group is left unscathed) and brings light to a great number of these issues that we ALL need to be aware of.

New York City | Reviews: Classic Tiffany Store and NY Shopping Experience, .
Make a reservation to look at items, you'll get a personal assistant and be treated with kid gloves. You'll be offered beverages and a personal assistant to show you anything you would like, they will even clean your existing jewelry. We could not leave NYC without buying my wife a few well-deserved pieces of NYC memorabelia. There are item at Tiffanys that you can purchase that do not break the bank. WOW, Had a great time shopping for the iconic heart bracelet, for myself, right before Christmas. They were super crowded of course, but still was nicely helped! My friend couldn't walk very well, so the sales professional came to her chair and helped her there in person. Breakfast at Tiffany's......, This magnificent store is level after level of quality and exquisite jewellery, accessories and gifts LOVE this store - Each trip I make to New York City, I always buy a gift for myself (no one else hahaha), as it reminds me of the magical times in NYC, the people, my friends and events I go to. It's a must see, and the High Tea (which I have missed out on twice now) is amazing, so I hear. You need to book for the High Tea 30 days in advance, if you can. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d208849-Reviews-Tiffany_Co-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | Tiffany & Co. | categories: Speciality & Gift Shops | Description: The Landmark at 57th Street and Fifth Avenue is an invitation to enjoy the very best of Tiffany & Co.

New York City | Reviews: End of Days- perfect for 2-3 experiened players, This was a sharp game packed with innovative puzzles and very few boring padlock. We had two experienced played and "saved the word" with one minute to spare which is ideal. The website claims it's for 2-10 people but I would imagine a lot of
gridlock around each puzzle, because the entire game was linear. Also communication was key!
I'd give it near perfect score if he receptionist (brown hair early 20s?) had not been so rude when checking us in. However, we had a different guy who ran our game who was pleasant and helpful. High quality and engaging escapes!, We did End of Days. It was our first ever escape room, so we went in with few expectations. My partner and I signed up on our own and were paired up with another couple who had signed up for the same time slot, for a total of 4 players. The puzzles were engaging and flowed well from one part of the room to the next. Most everything felt like it belonged in the room, and played well into the mood of the room's story. The room fed us a steady stream of "Ah ha!" moments through puzzles that took some thought but were never too difficult to get us stuck for very long. We managed to finish the room with about 10 minutes left after using 1 clue, and we only used it because we didn't know how close we were to the end and weren't sure how much time the puzzle would take us.
We tried two other Escape Room companies during our vacation, but Mission Escape was easily the highest quality of the lot. They were our first and easily came out the best and highest quality of the handful we did while in town., Thank you for the amazing review and congratulations on the escape, JayCee! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the immersive experience of the End of Days!

There were puzzles and riddles to solve throughout the entire experience that really made you think and require team thought. The design of the room truly transported you into your story and made the experience real down to a few unexpected effects and surprises.

New York City | Reviews: There's Nothing Like Video, F A B U L O U S. With the video chat Gina immediately identified what I needed.
B&H rocks! When I'm matching an HDMI cable from a TV to a laptop I needed to make 100% certain I was purchasing full HDMI. Gina went further recommending maximum length required - 15' - without further purchasing a booster.
Brava!, Thank you. This is very gratifying. We're very glad you're so satisfied and appreciate you took the time to say so. -- Henry Posner / B&H Photo-Video, Written , January 25, 2023, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Whatever (electronics) you need, you'll almost certainly find it here!, I have to admit, when I first visited B&H I did find the place a little strange. I'm also not a big fan of mixing religion with business, and it IS infuriating that the store is closed when I need something on a Friday afternoon, or a Saturday (and as a business owner, working in the video/audio field, that's not an uncommon occurrence!), but as with everything in life...nothing's perfect! Fortunately for B&H, they get so many things SO right that they DO get away with their unorthodox (oh the irony of using that word!) business hours. Frankly I'd be lost without them! Sure, there's always Amazon, but sometimes I need things immediately, and another great draw for me is their store-card. I don't use it for credit (I'm sure the interest rate isn't too wonderful!) - I pay it off in full every month - but the instant 100% tax rebate is literally incredible. I realize this isn't likely to be of much help to a tourist (so maybe Trip Advisor isn't the best place for this review!) but nevertheless, it's a great perk. B&H have a great selection of products, much of which is stocked at the store (some items do need to be shipped from their warehouse). I've never needed to ask their advice on anything that I've purchased, but if you do need some advice I'm certain their staff are far better trained/knowledgeable than virtually any other electronics store. The staff are always very helpful and friendly, too, and their website is fantastic. Thoroughly recommended. Good, But Not Perfect, B&H is good, but not perfect. They earned my family's trust over a period of years. We order from B&H and don't have to worry if the products we receive will be Chinese knock-offs (which is a real problem with Amazon). The few times we've had a problem with a B&H order, the issue has been very well handled.
But, they do have some problems with their ordering process. Very recently I placed an order, then decided to add something to that order. The website provided a way to do it, but doing so put my order into into "secretly hung status" where it showed an expected delivery date, but in reality the order hadn't shipped and wouldn't until I called to see why my package was never delivered.
Nor was that my first problem with a hung order at B&H. When I ordered a $7K HP workstation a few years ago, they sat on the order for months while waiting for a $70 PCI card to come in that I didn't even really need. By the time I got the PC, the price had literally dropped. Nobody ever even asked if I'd like to have the PC shipped without the missing PCI card. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d7380426-Reviews-B_H_Photo_Video_Pro_Audio-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | B&H Photo Video Pro Audio | categories: Speciality & Gift Shops | Description: The B&H SuperStore is the place to test-drive and compare all the world's latest technology gear.

New York City | Reviews: Maybe the best in town, Now almost certainly the best jazz club in town. The competition has thinned since covid. (Jazz Standard sorry to see you go!) As always, points for not overcrowding. And the best names play on stage here, along with Birdland (who is so busy shuffling as many tourists in and out in as short a time possible it has lost all sense of being a local hang). Sadly the food here used to be pretty good, now it’s kind of pretty bad. Maybe with things becoming more open they could expand and improve the menu. We are locals and regulars but we’ve started eating elsewhere., Traveled as a couple Great evening, My family and I visited while in NYC on vacation. I’m a jazz fan and wanted my wife and kids to experience a live ensemble. The venue is great, lovely view of Central Park. The jazz was great too.
I have to say the service was very good, we were attentively looked after for food and drinks.
Recommended!, Traveled with family Magical atmosphere, To enjoy jazz in a magical atmosphere.

New York City | Reviews: Amazing!, I have never been in to a Blues bar before, and the Live music was just so perfect (relaxing, smooth, great rhythm, and chilled). The lead singer post 10pm had great interaction with the audience, and the table service perfect) - the “JR MACK BAND”
I would definitely recommend to anyone not been before. When I am in New York again I will pop in again even if alone.
There is a $20 entry fee (it was a Friday evening that I was there)., Traveled with friends I could not recommend more, This is such a great club where the staff are every bit as brilliant as the music. Over 2 separate nights I was treated to Grammy nominee, Clarence Spady, SaRon Crenshaw, Noé Socha and other mesmerising musicians, chatted with some lovely people, drank some of the extraordinary collection of whiskies, was blown away by the music and left both evenings much later than intended. While in NYC I did all the main attractions, but Terra Blues is the place I want to go back to more than anything. Just treat yourself!, Traveled solo Great music & atmosphere, We had so much fun listening to jazz after fireworks on July 4 this year! Huge liquor selection; my boyfriend could take his pick on types of whiskeys to have to enjoy the jazz with. Very cool atmosphere. The music was incredible. The performer was so fun with the audience and very engaging and talented.

New York City | Reviews: Amazing Experience, I used King & Queen limo for my sister’s bachelorette party. From organizing the event, to the day of service, it was seamless and outstanding. The limo was clean, stocked with ice, champagne, soft drinks and water. Our driver, George, was amazing. He took pictures, came on time, communicated when he was arriving, pickup, even sending pictures of exactly where he was. He poured the champagne, opened doors, helped us out, was so respectful. He drive safe, and let us connect blue tooth to the radio system, and dealt with a bunch of girls singing loudly! I’d only want him as the driver if I used this company again. I highly recommend!, Traveled with friends NYC limousine, We was looking for limo service for wedding and found king and queen limo.

Thank you for such a great service, Traveled with friends Great experience on my wedding day using King and Queen limousine, My wife and I rented two limousines for our wedding day, 2 weeks ago today.

New York City | Reviews: Amazing rhythm, Very great. The cast is talented and diverse. The show itself is amazing. It includes a good mix of rhythm and humor, and a good portion of audience participation. There were a lot of intense meter and BPM changes, but the way they did it was clean. I sat in the 4th row, and it wasn’t too loud. The items they use are creative, and put off decent volume. I recommend to anyone that had 2 hours available. (Masks and vaccination proof are required), Traveled with family Stompingly brilliant!, My wife and I had seen Stomp in Blackpool, UK a few years ago and when the opportunity arose to see it off Broadway, I jumped at the chance to see it again and I am so glad we did!
Whilst the theatre is small and narrow, the staging was very cleverly done.
The skills shown by these people and the talent they have to make such amazing music with typical household items is something I only ever dream to posses. Not only did they make great music but they each had individual characters, and they showed a comedic element to the show without saying a word.
It is such a brilliant show and whilst it’s quite a walk away from Times Square, it is definitely worth venturing down there to see it., Traveled as a couple Second Viewing...Still Amazing!, My wife and I saw Stomp several years ago at the Centre in the Square in Kitchener, Canada and loved it. When we decided to come to NYC with our ten age girls, I wanted to take them to Stomp. It was a cool experience at the theatre in a rustic part of town on 2nd. We loved the show again and the kids loved it too. I would certainly go again to see the creative percussion and rhythm these artists create with everyday items.

New York City | Reviews: Amazing concert at Christmas with the New York Pops, There is nothing like Carnegie Hall at Christmas time. This is the one concert that I look forward to and do not mind splurging on the tickets at Christmas is the evening of Christmas music with the New York Pops and their annual guest artist. Getting these tickets is getting tougher each year but I find that if you wait until the last minute there are a lot of cancellations.
I lucked out and got a seat on row H on the aisle that is perfect for me since I am tall. I could see everything perfectly and you could see the artist. I could even see Santa running down the aisle with one of his elfs. The concert was filled with Christmas songs and contemporary pop music from the artist Ingrid Michaelson, who was excellent that evening and God could she sing! What a concert!
The place was all excited about the holidays and talk about a concert that put you in the holiday spirit. All I have to say is same time next year! Check the marque at Carnegie Hall. You will be amazed at the selection of talent on any given night., What an experience! While walking the street I observed the 'happenings' at Carnegie via their marque. That night a 13 year old pianist was performing a solo concert. He was the First Prize winner at the 2022 US International Open Music Competition and was spell-binding. Haoyue Sun performed several selections then after intermission he was joined by a full orchestra. It was amazing.........and FREE! Check out Carnegie Hall on your next NYC visit., Traveled as a couple Legendary Carnegie Hall, I saw the Met Orchestra perform an all-Berlioz program. The ensemble played wonderfully, and it was great to hear them in such an iconic venue. Although it's a little far away, the acoustics from the balcony are clear and rich.

New York City | Reviews: Best massage I’ve had!, I highly recommend this place for visitors to NYC or definitely for locals. This is the massage I have had. My husband and I enjoyed the 90 minute couples massage and it was so worth it. The location is a little tricky to find as you have to enter a door to several businesses, but once you enter security it is easy. The staff was very nice and accommodating with clean bathrooms and room., Traveled as a couple Great service and staff, Wonderful service and I highly recommend Grand Central Bodywork to any couple or single person for a massage. The masseuse I have been seeing for my sessions is (Natty) and she is one of the best. The quality of her work, consistency and ability to help me release tension is above and beyond every session. A very hard working team member of Grand Central Bodywork., Traveled solo Excellent massage!, This is actually the second time I visited this spa. I was looking for some thing close to Grand Central so I could jump on the metro north right after. I booked a 90 minute deep tissue massage and I am 100% satisfied. The massage room was clean, the therapist (I forgot her name!) was friendly, attentive and considerate. I had a few sensitive areas in certain parts of my back and she was able to respond appropriately. I had such a deep and restful sleep last night thanks to this excellent massage.

This is the massage I have had. My husband and I enjoyed the 90 minute couples massage and it was so worth it. The location is a little tricky to find as you have to enter a door to several businesses, but once you enter security it is easy. The staff was very nice and accommodating with clean bathrooms and room., Traveled as a couple Great service and staff, Wonderful service and I highly recommend Grand Central Bodywork to any couple or single person for a massage. The masseuse I have been seeing for my sessions is (Natty) and she is one of the best. The quality of her work, consistency and ability to help me release tension is above and beyond every session. A very hard working team member of Grand Central Bodywork., Traveled solo Excellent massage!, This is actually the second time I visited this spa. I was looking for some thing close to Grand Central so I could jump on the metro north right after. I booked a 90 minute deep tissue massage and I am 100% satisfied. The massage room was clean, the therapist (I forgot her name!) was friendly, attentive and considerate. I had a few sensitive areas in certain parts of my back and she was able to respond appropriately. I had such a deep and restful sleep last night thanks to this excellent massage. I will definitely be back, Traveled solo | [

New York City | Reviews: Great local Bar on 9th Ave, We really enjoyed our time here, a friendly local bar with a mix of tourists sprinkled in. I much preferred it at lunchtime , at night it was much busier and quite loud ( but hey ho, the locals loved it and it’s their bar ) bartenders switched on, effective and welcoming. We would definitely recommend it , although we didn’t try the hot dogs, plenty of people did and seemed to love them. Keep up the good work a little gem . American ‘Dive’ Bar, A real local American Bar with an interesting past. This bar is definitely a place to visit when in New York. Went twice would have gone every day if we found it earlier as it was close to our Yotel. The juke box brings the bar together. Locals have been going for years and very welcoming to tourists. Yolanda and the team are Marvellous to watch serving the very cheaply priced beer and free hot dogs, they know everyone and remember you when you next visit. Do go it’s an experience. Billed as as New York’s most famous dive bar with cheapest beer in Manhattan., Traveled as a couple Cheap beer and free hotdogs, Excellent dive bar with cheap beer, good music and free hotdogs and the place gets rammed. Seating seen better days but the coating of red gaffer tape does something to add to the feel of the place. Rudy’s Blonde beer is $3.00 a pint (cheaper than at home) but I would recommend getting a pitcher for $8.00 which holds about three pints. Just ask for a hotdog and you’ll be asked how many do you want and they’re there in seconds. We were last there on Thursday 13th February and the middle aged guy with the bow tie and glasses behind the bar deserves a raise. He was the only one serving drinks and he didn’t stop all night - coping admirably with a long bar and lots of customers. Great atmosphere with lots of locals in there. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d5830185-Reviews-Rudy_s_Bar_Grill-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | Rudy's Bar & Grill | categories: Bars & Clubs | Rudy's Bar & Grill ; categories: Bars & Clubs ; ; Reviews: Great local Bar on 9th Ave, We really enjoyed our time here, a friendly local bar with a mix of tourists sprinkled in.

New York City | Reviews: Wonderful NY upper west side deli/grocer., This is a wonderful NY grocer come deli that stocks anything you might want for food.
The deli sandwiches are delicious and great value as one sandwich easily serves two people.
I am glad I don’t live close by this shop as I would put on several pounds working my way through the extensive stock., Traveled as a couple On the NYC Bucket List - a must!, Cannot believe that I have lived in NYC all of my life and never got to Zabars.
That was until I received a gift basket with the chocolate babka, cinammon rugelach and their coffee.
Went down there with family and it was great. There is so much to take in and everyone talks to each other on the lines etc. Best time to get reccos. This time we got coffee, chocolate rugelach and babka, mustard, bagels and some pastries and their chocolate bars. We came late on a Sunday afternoon when they put the bagels and some pastries on sale.
I cannot wait to return and try their apple strudel and the knishes.
All of these items are way overpriced but they have a unique flavor so good that sometimes it pays to splurge.
Since we live in the burbs, we drove and it is hard to find parking so be aware.
The staff is really nice and helpful.
Lots of fun. Pretty safe to shop there during COVID., Zabars continues to offer excellent, varied delicious food of various sorts.
I thought I would update on what they are doing during pandemic. They are limiting the number of customers in the store, requiring masks, etc. as all places are. This sometimes results in short waits to enter but I've never seen a long one (more than 10 minutes). Inside it is probably a little more crowded than ideal but seems safe. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d565663-Reviews-Zabar_s-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | Zabar's | categories: Speciality & Gift Shops | Zabar's ; categories: Speciality & Gift Shops ; ; Reviews: Wonderful NY upper west side deli/grocer., This is a wonderful NY grocer come deli that stocks anything you might want for food.

New York City | Reviews: A perfect birthday gift, For my daughter's birthday we brought her to the American Girl Place. We decided to splurge and get her the personal shopping experience and if you are able to, I highly recommend it for a special event.
The personal shopper was simply outstanding. Going through the store with a dedicated employee who doesn't speak to the parents, but to the child, was "so cool" as my daughter put it. They really make the child feel like a VIP, and for the parents they help steer the child to items that will make for the best experience.
Finally, we did the hair styling and Michelle was amazing! She was perfect with my daughter and her hair came out wonderfully.
I didn't know what to expect, but the smile on my daughter's face was all the reassurance that my wife and I needed that we had given her the perfect gift!, Thank you for a wonderful rating and review!

Wholesome & fabulous family afternoon., Absolutely wonderful, memorable & such a special time at the American Girl store.

Special thanks also to Mike who made choosing a doll absolutely magical.

New York City | Reviews: Innovative Refreshing Alternative to Experience Greenwich Village, I can appreciate that a scavenger hunt with so many moving parts that the company cant control, can result in a bit of a clunky execution. And that is part of the fun and surprise of an ‘improv’ experience.
I have enjoyed escape rooms and scavenger hunts in the past, so I have some familiarity with the genre which was a big help in understanding the Accomplice The Village tour that I attended. But, I think for some of the others in the group, the first half of the experience was so what confusing and overwhelming, with so much exposition crammed into so little time. But, I think the rest of the group finally had some a-ha moments as the tour progressed.
All the improv actors that were positioned at the several unique and quirky locales along the hint path were engaging and entertaining. Some articulated their missions better than others, but in general they all certainly gave their best efforts.
Overall, this was obviously a more interactive and thought provoking way of getting a glimpse of Greenwich Village. Considering that there were 7 actors involved and multiple locales that allowed them to ‘squat’ for housing their clues, plus a coffee beverage, beer/wine and donut holes as sustenance along the way, it was a reasonable value proposition for $80 price.
Wishing them the best!, Traveled solo A Fun Balance of Theater and Puzzles, Super fun experience. I had friends who were visiting and I wanted to strike a balance between 'Fun New York Experience' and 'Not Too Touristy' and this absolutely hit the spot. The focus slants a little more toward the scavenger hunt/riddle portion with fun actors and stories unfolding at each stop rather than a very intensive or involved story, but it was just the right combination of goofy and engaging for us. The actors were all very endearing and committed to staying in character even when curveballs were thrown their way. Our story was theme Wizard of Oz and spotting all the fun Easter Egg references was great too. The riddles and puzzles were not extremely difficult but still required actual thinking and engaging with the clues.
The one thing I will say is, the maximum group size for the story we did (The Village) was 12 but our little group of just 3 had no issues and I worry that more than 5 or 6 could feel bloated instead. If it's a large group that all knows each other, the larger team is probably still fine.
Definitely be prepared for a fair amount of walking. Although there were only ever small flights of stairs (ie, 4-5 steps up a stoop or to a landing), I would suggest anyone with mobility issues contact that program before committing to tickets.
Overall, highly recommended and very fun. Accomplice New York, This was one of the best things we did on our visit to New York. If you love mysteries and escape rooms, then this is the adventure for you. The actors played their parts perfectly, the mysteries we had to solve were challenging enough to be fun yet not so difficult we got frustrated. It was fun joining in with the other people in our group and exploring the area while solving clues.

New York City | Reviews: Best Place to get a Massage in NYC, Let’s be honest, there are tons of places to get a massage in NYC but Grand Central Bodywork is by far the best (and I’ve been to quite a few places since living in the city). I won’t go anywhere else. Their masseuses are amazing and so friendly and talented! The only place that can get every kink and knot out of my back in one session. Absolutely love this place. Right when you walk in you get a sense of comfort and relaxation. The place is so clean and beautifully decorated and everyone is so accommodating and nice! Hands down the best place to get a massage in NYC, would highly highly recommend., Traveled solo Incredible massage in a cozy space, So cute and cozy! The staff is welcoming and friendly. The couples massage for my husband and I was very romantic and relaxing. We had a conversation with each masseuse beforehand to decide which kind of massage is best - we both ended up choosing the Thai massage with stretching. Teddy and Tina were absolutely incredible - very intuitive and always attentive when it came to the amount of pressure. Would go back in a second and would recommend to anyone that’s looking for a great “no frills” massage., Traveled as a couple Feeling Brand New, While staying at the Moxy, my girlfriend and I decided to get a couples massage at Grand Central Bodyworks.
It was such an amazing experience and exceeded our expectations. The staff were all so friendly and nice -
Greeting us with Champagne and water upon arrival and making us feel welcomed. I went with the lava stone
Swedish Massage; which was truly relaxing. We have already planned to come back next time we’re in the area! | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d14784851-Reviews-Grand_Central_Bodywork-New_York_City_New_York.html | 5 | Grand Central Bodywork | categories: Spas | Description: Looking for a luxury massage nearby me?

Our award-winning therapists promise to provide a premium spa experience that is customized to our client’s needs. With many years of experience, our therapists have carefully trained to provide the best massage services in Chelsea NYC. Relax and cleanse with a number of treatments and find a massage near me. ; Reviews: Best Place to get a Massage in NYC, Let’s be honest, there are tons of places to get a massage in NYC but Grand Central Bodywork is by far the best (and I’ve been to quite a few places since living in the city). I won’t go anywhere else. Their masseuses are amazing and so friendly and talented! The only place that can get every kink and knot out of my back in one session. Absolutely love this place. Right when you walk in you get a sense of comfort and relaxation. The place is so clean and beautifully decorated and everyone is so accommodating and nice! Hands down the best place to get a massage in NYC, would highly highly recommend., Traveled solo Incredible massage in a cozy space, So cute and cozy! The staff is welcoming and friendly. The couples massage for my husband and I was very romantic and relaxing. We had a conversation with each masseuse beforehand to decide which kind of massage is best - we both ended up choosing the Thai massage with stretching. Teddy and Tina were absolutely incredible - very intuitive and always attentive when it came to the amount of pressure. Would go back in a second and would recommend to anyone that’s looking for a great “no frills” massage., Traveled as a couple Feeling Brand New, While staying at the Moxy, my girlfriend and I decided to get a couples massage at Grand Central Bodyworks.
It was such an amazing experience and exceeded our expectations. The staff were all so friendly and nice -
Greeting us with Champagne and water upon arrival and making us feel welcomed. I went with the lava stone
Swedish Massage; which was truly relaxing. We have already planned to come back next time we’re in the area! | [

New York City | Reviews: just right, Visited four times from 2016 to recently. Saw the Kenny Baron quartet shortly after my father (a jazz pianist) passed onward in 2016. I "inherited" a bunch of his vinyl albums and a couple were Baron's, which made my initial visit special.
One night after a particularly long work day on Long Island - took the LIR from Mineola to midtown Manhattan, ran into my hotel room and changed and jumped on the subway to the Village. I waited in standby line and was the last one allowed in and down the stairs to see Peter Bernstein. I cannot explain where the lump in my throat begins each time I've been to the Vanguard, but it does not seem to go away even as I write this.
Every time I enter the Vanguard, my DNA comes alive and I settle into my ground of being. The Vanguard is more than music (if you didn't know this by now), but an experience. February 2020 saw Emmet Cohen and his trio during a stopover trip to NYC from Germany and this was the perfect way to prepare for a long weekend of work.
During the height of Covid, I subscribed to many an online sessions during weekend nights in my midtown Atlanta apartment, grateful to hear live jazz even though not in person. These solitary experiences were enhanced by having been to the historic venue.
The Village Vanguard is sensual and rather intoxicating even when drinking only sparkling water. It is old school yet crowded with young artists from all over the city. It is a home away from home. Great jazz!, True jazz lovers can’t visit NYC without the Village Vanguard experience. Intimate would be one way to describe the space, but if you’re claustrophobic, you’ll probably want to skip the experience. We purchased tickets in advance and arrived shortly after the doors opened. The doorman let us right in and we were seated close to the stage. In reality, the room is small so you’re never far from the stage no matter where you’re seated and the acoustics are great. Each guest has to buy one drink, but there are lots of options both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. All in all, it was a great night with great music., Traveled as a couple A new York classic !, Went to hear Scott Colley. Very high quality Jazz in an 'old school' village venue. You have to come at least 1/2 hour before the show if not earlier as recommended to get good seats, but the room is small, so you hear well everywhere. No food, just good jazz and drinks, smallish but they are not skimping on the booze. An authentic setting and one of the highlights of our NY trip. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d548583-Reviews-The_Village_Vanguard-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | The Village Vanguard | categories: Bars & Clubs Jazz Bars | The Village Vanguard ; categories: Bars & Clubs Jazz Bars ; ; Reviews: just right, Visited four times from 2016 to recently.

New York City | Reviews: Great jazz in an intimate basement club setting!, Smalls is one of our go-to jazz clubs when we visit New York City. A nice intimate club downstairs. Recently saw David Gilmore (guitar) with Gadi Lehavi (keys), Ele Howell (drums), and Boris Kozlov (bass). We bought tickets online a couple hours ahead of the show, provided proof of vaccination and wore masks throughout the show. Get there early for the best choice of seating. The waitstaff was attentive. Show started on time. And we heard from terrific musicians that evening. For an additional $10, you can stay for the second show. great music, great atmosphere, The club is quite small and the reservation is strongly recommended if you want to be sure to have a seat for the concert. You must take a drink. The music was fantastic. strongly recommended if you want to try an authentic jazz night. JAZZ IS ALIVE & WELL IN THE WEST VILLAGE, JAZZ IS BACK! It is alive and well at Smalls Jazz Club in the West Village. We ventured back into jazz post quarantine with our first foray being our ultimate favorite in NYC, Smalls. Needless to say we were not disappointed. They took every single precaution imaginable to keep us all safe from musicians, to guests to our lovely, warm bartender, Vicki. The place is immacutlately clean. The drinks are so reasonable. And the place was Rockin! Well worth the donation amount that you are making to get in which helps fund the lives of musicians city wide. We were duly impressed and can't wait to go back. Thanks, Spike! We are forever grateful. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d616662-Reviews-Smalls-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | Smalls | categories: Jazz Bars | Smalls ; categories: Jazz Bars ; ; Reviews: Great jazz in an intimate basement club setting!, Smalls is one of our go-to jazz clubs when we visit New York City.

New York City | Reviews: The Best Wine Tour!, Peter was absolutely wonderful for my sister's bachelorette wine tour. The day started off a bit rocky with a flat tire before Peter came to get us, but he absolutely made up for it! He made sure we had everything we needed and made the day run so smoothly. One of the wineries was packed, but we were able to cut the line with Peter and get our tasting started right away. I definitely recommend going through Peter for the tastings if you're booking in the summer when they can get a bit crowded. When I asked him for recommendations for pizza delivery by our Airbnb he gave me a local recommendation and even stopped on our way back before dropping us off to pick it up! Pocono Daytripper is definitely the best option for a winery tour in the Poconos! Would Recommend To Anyone!, Nothing but good things to say here. Peter was very kind, funny, and friendly. He had great communication and hospitality in the days prior to and on the day of the trip. He offered to take multiple trips to accommodate for all of our party, helped us out with our gear and equipment, and even took the liberty to return our equipment for us without expecting anything in return. He arrived early and on time for each of the expected times we were anticipating him, and waited patiently for us when we needed him to. 10/10 would recommend to anyone, great prices and overall value for both those familiar and unfamiliar with the area, adding to a great and memorable pocono experience!, Traveled with friends So much fun!!, Hop On, Hop Off Wine Tour was so much fun!! With Clyde driving, "B" playing the tunes and everyone on the bus joining in the "party", it was a fun filled afternoon! I'm pretty sure I was the oldest one (60-ish!) on the trolley and had a blast with all the 30 somethings! All stops had fantastic choices of your fave beverage and the scenery at the wineries was beautiful! And, best yet, what happens on the trolley, stays on the trolley so no need to worry if you went a little overboard!! 😁 I'm rounding up a new group of friends to go again! Never to old for this tour!!, Traveled with friends | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d7621038-Reviews-Pocono_Daytripper-New_York_City_New_York.html | 5 | Pocono Daytripper | categories: Bus Services Taxis & Shuttles | Description: Day trips to the Pocono Mountains from New York City. | Pocono Daytripper ; categories: Bus Services Taxis & Shuttles ; Description: Day trips to the Pocono Mountains from New York City. ; Reviews: The Best Wine Tour!, Peter was absolutely wonderful for my sister's bachelorette wine tour.

New York City | Reviews: One of the Best Shows!, I've attended so many live theater shows, and this was by far one of the best experiences.
First, the theater is very small and intimate and you almost feel like you're a part of things. I'm so glad that we chose to see this one on Broadway at the Schoenefeld, instead of one of the traveling tours.
The show itself is different than anything else I've ever seen. The cast changes roles, with each actor playing a couple different people--they do this in such a seamless way that you almost don't even notice...just a subtle change in their outfit and accent. It was very cool to watch. It's also the first show I've ever attended that ran straight through, with no intermission, but I think that worked for this show beautifully.
Finally, the story. I'd read the book that Come From Away is based on and loved it, so I knew I'd be familiar with and enjoy the story. And I expected to cry, because, while heartwarming, it was about one of the worst days in US history. However, I didn't expect to laugh as much as I did. There were some truly comedic moments that brightened the entire experience.
If you can, grab these last couple of weeks and check this show out on broadway before it closes. You won't be sorry. One of the best plays we have seen. We plan on seeing it again, fabulous, This is one of the best plays we have seen in NYC. It is lively, entertaining, funny, and has subtle messaging that pays tribute to 911. We plan on seeing again. The use of simple props to simulate different situations such as airplane seats is fabulous and innovative., Traveled as a couple Heartwarming Storytelling, Best Show!! I had heard a few of the songs from the musical before deciding which shows to see while visiting NYC. The songs alone made me decide that we should see this musical, and it did NOT disappoint;-). Music was beautifully written and so enjoyable. The set, props, and costumes were simple in ways, but used so well and perfect to add to the stories told in the musical without any distractions.

New York City | Reviews: Highly recommend!, We had a great experience with Precision. I cannot say enough about their customer service - from start to finish. They responded almost immediately to every inquiry I had. Their pricing is fair and the drivers were professional, courteous, and most importantly they were prompt. We will definitely use this service again. Fantastic!, Cheema was our driver, on June 17, 2023. He arrived at Newark airport, on time, in a beautiful black Yukon GMC. The car was immaculate inside and very comfortable. Cheema was so courteous and loaded all our luggage into the vehicle. He is an excellent driver and very pleasant! He drove us to a hotel in Staten Island and it was the best experience driving in congested traffic. He is an expert and an asset to Precsion NY chauffeur service! If we travel to Staten Island again we will definitely ask for him. Excellent service - highly recommend - will use again, I was so impressed with this service - from the representatives I worked with to book rides to the drivers themselves. The drivers were always early and communicated with me to ensure I knew what to expect. I used them for a total of 5 rides - to and from the airport and to various shows. The vehicles were always clean and well maintained. The drivers were friendly and professional and every single one spoke very highly of Precision. Plus they had all been working for multiple years - the shortest was 5 years and the longest was 13. I will definitely use them again. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d14930366-Reviews-Precision_NY_Chauffeur_Airport_Transportation_Services-New_York_City_New_York.html | 5 | Precision NY Chauffeur & Airport Transportation Services | categories: Taxis & Shuttles | Description: Here at Precision NY Chauffeur & Airport Transportation Service, we offer limousine service and point to point transportation NYC.

The car was immaculate inside and very comfortable. Cheema was so courteous and loaded all our luggage into the vehicle. He is an excellent driver and very pleasant! He drove us to a hotel in Staten Island and it was the best experience driving in congested traffic. He is an expert and an asset to Precsion NY chauffeur service! If we travel to Staten Island again we will definitely ask for him. Excellent service - highly recommend - will use again, I was so impressed with this service - from the representatives I worked with to book rides to the drivers themselves. The drivers were always early and communicated with me to ensure I knew what to expect. I used them for a total of 5 rides - to and from the airport and to various shows. The vehicles were always clean and well maintained. The drivers were friendly and professional and every single one spoke very highly of Precision. Plus they had all been working for multiple years - the shortest was 5 years and the longest was 13. I will definitely use them again. | [

New York City | Reviews: An Amazing Show, Hands down my favorite show of all time. I enjoy the history, the music, the costumes and the amazing choreography of so many people on stage. We saw the Disney + version during the pandemic and was able to come watch it live when the theaters reopened. It is a pretty large theater so it can be a bit crowded, just be patient and enjoy the experience., Traveled as a couple THE BEST MUSICAL EVER, Wow. It was an emotional experience.
Here are my notes:
1. Aaron Burr actor - AMAZING. Better than the one from the original cast imo.
2. If you choose orchestra, you should sit in row L and above. Because only starting row L the floor starts to incline which means you will see everything on stage and no one will block your view, no matter how tall they are!
3. Research the show in advance, or better - watch the Disney+ recording! I saw so many people confused next to me just because they came to the show clueless, and they found it really hard to follow. If you know some of the lyrics and the overall story in advance, you’ll enjoy the show much more.
4. Saw it in the West End (London) too. Broadway wins by all factors., Traveled as a couple Words can’t explain how much I loved this!, Everything I hoped it would be and more !
The music from the show got me through lockdown so it was emotional to see it live on Broadway for the first time. The actors were all amazing and the music was fabulous. My whole family were enthralled by the production.

New York City | Reviews: OMG - I love it!!!, This was a present for my boyfriend and it was such a great experience. The staff is unbelievable friendly and attentively (especially the lady at the changing room). They also provide all kind of cosmetics and products you need, not only towels, also bath wear, hairdryer, creams,...
I like it, that it feels private, because they only take bookings for ~20 people at the same time, so you have some privacy. Most of the time, we had one tube just for us.
Do me a favour and go to Aire - you will love it too ;-) Quiet Escape, I took my husband here for his birthday and it was amazing. The building itself is incredible. The minute you walk in you feel more relaxed. We were escorted into the bathroom/Locker room areas that have attendants to help with anything you need. Everything was clean and organized. We were then escorted down to the baths which were perfect. There are all sorts of options and they will provide you a tour to explain all of the different baths and give you their recommendations. They came and got us for our couples massage which was amazing as well. Nothing is overdone here and the experience was perfect and what we both needed. This is an exceptional place to unwind and relax, especially in the city. We can’t wait to return!, Traveled as a couple Something everyone should experience!, Definitely something everyone should experience in their lifetime! I was blown away at the entire experience. Staff lets you pre check in before your visit so once you walk in you can go straight to the locker rooms. There was a locker room attendant who helped me set up my locker. You're given water shoes and a robe to wear to the pools.
Before going to the pools there's another staff member who goes over the covid guidelines and then asks if you would like a tour. I was given a tour which was really helpful. A friendly staff member told me about the different type of pools and their temps. This was really helpful! I was amazed that they even offer a wine bath (additional cost though). I only bought the package pertaining to the bath, no massage.
My favorite bath was the body temperature one where you're suggested to begin. The water was calm and calming music played the entire time which enhanced the experience. The entire atmosphere is so relaxing which is just what I needed. Everyone is respectful and the place is dimly lit only by candlelight. The entire time I was just thinking I can't believe I am here.

New York City | Reviews: Good game - interesting and a bit different to what we have seen before., We love escape rooms and have done dozens. We did the subway one which was interesting and just the right level of challenging I think. Our games master was nice. The only downside was it was very expensive - we wanted to return and do the cupcake one but couldn't justify another almost $100 however this may well be standard NYC prices and we are used to British costs!, Traveled as a couple Awesome fun experience!!, Went to do their rooms during our trip to NYC. We really enjoyed our experience with this company.
Their rooms were not that hard, but still very enjoyable. The puzzles and flows were logical and linear. The room themes were unique and some of the puzzles really interesting.
My friend is a newbie and I've done close to 100 rooms and we both had a great time. My friend kept saying the experience (esp with Sugar Rush & Italian Job) here were one of the highlights of her visit:).
We ended up doing 4 out of 5 of their rooms (it was early in the morning and their rooms happened to be empty). Mike, the owner, was very nice and kindly gave us discounts for the subsequent rooms and even let us do the last room for free :).
Our faves were Sugar Rush and Italian Job. I have to say I've never done such unique concept. We got to find ingredients and 'bake' a cupcake and we did end up getting a real cupcake. It definitely gave a nice touch.
We also really liked the setting of the High Speed. It had the replica of a real NYC train. Mission also had a component where you're in a plane with the movement and sound of a real plane. I think these were well thought-out and made the rooms more immersive.
All in all, I highly recommend this company :). Will come back for their last room we haven't done when we're back to NYC., Traveled with friends Pricey but really fun!, Friendly staff, challenging rooms (we did the money heist), and plenty of time to solve. It's a bit grungy for the price, but very popular, so some wear and tear is to be expected. Bathrooms facilities and drinking water on premises. Lounge for regrouping at end. Lockers secured while you're in the rooms.

The food was amazingly delicious with high quality, especially the pastries and desserts. Their tiramisu is the best, super creamy and rich. , Traveled as a couple Nice visit!, Came here simply for a walk through and I would, at least, recommend that! Amazing Italian delicacies throughout this giant store / bar / restaurant. There are many places to buy products for the home, or to sit and eat or drink. A few places even have a wonderful view while you dine. I would go back! Wonderful food, Everything edible you can imagine from Italy.

New York City | Reviews: For Lego Lovers, We had to go inside while we visited Rockefeller Center.
The store was still limiting the number of customers inside but the wait was less than 10 minutes.
This Lego store was 2 floors and full of NYC landmarks with a yellow taxi cab that one could sit inside, Freedom Tower, Statue of Liberty and more. Movie characters from The Hulk and Ghostbusters also were on display.
If you are shopping there were a lot more sets available for purchase.

If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would! It’s my favorite store in NYC. The Marvel figures, Ghost Busters, Mario, and the New York scenery fill up all the spaces like I’m in Legoland. There’s all kinds of legos to buy and my favorite part was being able to make my own custom mini figure. You can use their drawings but I created my own unique drawing.

New York City | Reviews: Perfect Transportation for Large Groups, It's my second time booking with NYC Rich Limo. This time I needed a large vehicle for a family day trip to the Hamptons so I booked a 36 passenger shuttle bus. The driver came on time with a beautiful, clean luxury vehicle that exceeded our expectations. The day went by smoothly as our driver, Kero, was courteous and drove safely. The booking process was seamless, as well. Communications with Richard is always prompt and it's just an extra bonus he offers the best all inclusive rates in town. I would definitely recommend NYC Rich Limo for all your transportation needs big or small. Excellent, Would use Again, A little bit behind in writing this review. We used their SUV service from LaGuardia Airport to the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan (16th St & 9th Ave) in October 2021. Couldn't be happier with their service. They arrived early, we received a text prior to the plane arriving at the gate and they were waiting exactly where they said they would be. They SUV was clean, comfortable, and the interior was well maintained. Raymond was our driver and was professional and courteous. The ride was very comfortable, no speeding or crazy driving. I was born, raised, and learned to drive in Brooklyn, I know how we can drive. Initially, I only booked from the airpot to the hotel, but after our ride into the city, I booked the return ride back to Laguardia. Very happy with our trip and would definitely use them on future trips to NYC., Thank you for the 5-star review, Randy! We hope to see you again soon…, Written , December 16, 2022, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Excellent Throughout, I booked this company to take my wife and I from JFK to our hotel in Times Square. I opted for an SUV.
Froom the point of booking all communications were first class and very responsive. Our flight was delayed by an hour so I emailed them from the plane but received an answer immediately advising me not to worry and that they had already noticed and would be there for our arrival.
I received a text message from our driver as soon as we landed to advise he was waiting in arrivals for us. Once we collected our bags our driver had my name on a sign and we were greeted. He took our bags and walked us over to a huge and clean SUV which was very spacious. The journey took about 55 minutes to get to Time Square and it was a pleasant and comfortable ride.
When I am ravelling to NYC again I would definitely use this company a great service from start to finish.
Yes my review is late I had thought I had written one when I came back from our holiday, Thanks greatly for the review.

The driver came on time with a beautiful, clean luxury vehicle that exceeded our expectations. The day went by smoothly as our driver, Kero, was courteous and drove safely. The booking process was seamless, as well. Communications with Richard is always prompt and it's just an extra bonus he offers the best all inclusive rates in town. I would definitely recommend NYC Rich Limo for all your transportation needs big or small. Excellent, Would use Again, A little bit behind in writing this review. We used their SUV service from LaGuardia Airport to the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan (16th St & 9th Ave) in October 2021. Couldn't be happier with their service. They arrived early, we received a text prior to the plane arriving at the gate and they were waiting exactly where they said they would be. They SUV was clean, comfortable, and the interior was well maintained. Raymond was our driver and was professional and courteous. The ride was very comfortable, no speeding or crazy driving. I was born, raised, and learned to drive in Brooklyn, I know how we can drive. Initially, I only booked from the airpot to the hotel, but after our ride into the city, I booked the return ride back to Laguardia. Very happy with our trip and would definitely use them on future trips to NYC., Thank you for the 5-star review, Randy! We hope to see you again soon…, Written , December 16, 2022, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Excellent Throughout, I booked this company to take my wife and I from JFK to our hotel in Times Square. I opted for an SUV.
Froom the point of booking all communications were first class and very responsive. Our flight was delayed by an hour so I emailed them from the plane but received an answer immediately advising me not to worry and that they had already noticed and would be there for our arrival.
I received a text message from our driver as soon as we landed to advise he was waiting in arrivals for us. Once we collected our bags our driver had my name on a sign and we were greeted. He took our bags and walked us over to a huge and clean SUV which was very spacious. The journey took about 55 minutes to get to Time Square and it was a pleasant and comfortable ride.
When I am ravelling to NYC again I would definitely use this company a great service from start to finish.
Yes my review is late I had thought I had written one when I came back from our holiday, Thanks greatly for the review. We hope to see you again soon…, Written , December 16, 2022, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC. | [

New York City | Reviews: The perfect way to practice yoga, This is the perfect yoga class for all skill levels. Yoga Ranger Mark was a phenomenal guide during the practice, with multiple levels of adjustment provided. I felt confident in my practice and had such a pleasant afternoon despite 90 degree heat on a summer afternoon.

New York City | Reviews: A must see for fans of the film., I went to see the matinee on 23rd July as I'm a big fan of the film and I loved it!! Many laugh out loud moments and one part between Lydia and Charles that made me cry as it was very emotional. The plot is different from the film but in a way that still acknowledges it. The cast are such talented singers and the songs were fun and catchy. So glad I got to see this while in New York.
A few slight grumbles about the venue though. The theatre itself is a bit strange as you have to go into a hotel in order to access the theatre on the third (if memory serves) floor. Some of the staff were quite abrupt especially the guards at metal detectors on the way in. The drinks and merchandise were also expensive but I suppose that is normal for these kind of shows, especially in New York. Trying to leave the theatre afterwards was also a bit chaotic as there was only one way to get out and that was by the esculator. The stairs and lifts were only accessible by swipe card, meaning that non hotel guests couldn't use. This led to a big crowd trying to all get onto escalator all at once., Traveled solo Don't Expect A Duplicate of the Movie and you won't be Disappointed!, My brother and I had a chance to see Beetlejuice on our NYC trip this month. We had seen Six and we enjoyed that so much we decided to see this one as well. We both loved it. I have seen the movie numerous times, and he has seen it at least once, so we were familiar with that storyline. That being said, i also read about the show online and read some reviews so knew to expect that the musical deviated from the movie. I'm happy to say the musical didn't need to copy the movie exactly to be great!
Alex Brightman is fantastic as Beetlejuice. In fact, the entire cast was great. I'm not in a position to see a lot of Broadway shows so don't keep up with the folks who perform there, but all of them were great. One little complaint is that the young lady who played Lydia Deetz, while a GREAT singer and actress, was a little hard to understand at times. I don't know if it was her or the sound in the theatre. She has a fantastic voice, I just couldn't understand all the words a lot of the time. But it did not detract from the show, I could tell what was going on....
The sets are out of this world. The costumes are wonderful.
I would also like to say to anyone contemplating this show, read the other reviews. There is a lot of adult humor, I don't think I would take a child to this show. But I don't think Beetlejuice the movie is really a kids' movie either. If you are easily offended, probably best to save your money. There is not, as stated in another review, a "gay make out session" but there is some gay humor and a brief kiss. Nothing you won't see on any premium television channel in prime time. But, again, if that is going to offend you go see something else!
As for the theatre, it is located on the third floor of the Marriott Marquis hotel. We were staying there so could use the elevators. It is true that you can't use the elevators without a room key except for the first and eighth floors, and maybe you can't even use them to go down from here. I don't know know because I had one....
Anyway, the show was great and I highly recommend it for mature audiences who loved the movie or just want to see something funny and easy to love!!! Wackiest Musical Ever!, It starts out with a funeral, telling you the show is about death. Lydia a “Gothy Teen” is obsessed with the idea of seeing her “Dead Mom” and is suicidal. She’s dealing with her dad jumping into a relationship with her therapist and moving into a new house. A couple dies in the beginning and somehow Beetlejuice has us immediately laughing, but calls the audience on how awful we are. There are catchy songs with lyrics by a Girl Scout addressing her heart disease and child predators she may meet while selling cookies; by a dead former Argentinian Beauty Queen dealing with depression. They mock a lot of types of people: artists, politics, goth teens, census workers, realtors, etc, so if you take things super seriously or get easily offended, it’s not the show for you. Somehow, it is so cleverly written, the troubled characters in this comedy will have you in tears laughing, but also second guessing yourself. Beetlejuice even addresses himself as the creepy old guy who’s trying to marry teenage Lydia and exclaims that this is somehow seen as acceptable in other societies. There is definitely adult humor, swearing and crotch grabbing, but people still brought children. I talked with my middle school daughter about the twisted humor, right and wrong. This show was definitely a fun one. Even the guy enforcing masks was shouting ridiculous things. Many of the people who work the booth and aisles had so much fun dancing to all the catchy songs! We have seen many Broadway show and I would definitely rate this as one of the wackiest shows we’ve seen., Traveled with family | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d16734169-Reviews-Beetlejuice_The_Musical-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | Beetlejuice The Musical | categories: Theatre & Performances | Description: "THE MUSICAL COMEDY ESCAPE BROADWAY NEEDS RIGHT NOW." - IHEARTRADIO It’s showtime, folks!

New York City | Reviews: Christmas Eve 2019! , What an amazing experience! During our honeymoon trip my husband and I went to see the House Band on Christmas Eve and had the best night out.
We paid for an upfront package to avoid high drink prices not having been before and felt it was money well spent at $90 a head - please note that admin and tips are charged up front with these packages rather than on the night.
Our server however was very attentive and always there for more drinks when needed, never an empty glass so we were happy with what we had paid.
What can I say about the band? Totally - AMAZING and really made our night. A mixture of funk, soul, R&B and rap had everyone up on the dancefloor as soon as they started. Old classics from Marvin Gaye and Teddy Pendergast, anthems from Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan and Luther Van Dross as well as more recent hits.
We didn’t eat but food was available and looked appetising.
, Traveled as a couple House band.....marvellous!!, My brother in law is a regular NYC visitor with work. He has been a few times and said he was going to take us.....so glad he did, it was brilliant. When we went inside it felf a bit dingy. We were a party of 4 and were seated in a booth with 2 couples from the Brooklyn area. Initially it felt a bit strange sat on a table with 4 strangers but once the music started it was awesome.
Its not a cheap night out, 15 bucks cover charge and then about 70 bucks for a bottle of wine. But look up their website and go for a great night out Reminds you of the great Village days......, I remember the Wha decades ago as a hotspot for live music and it still is! It's a great place to go solo or with friends. The atmosphere is lively and it can get crowded, but has an intimate feel due to the seating arrangements. You're never far away from the great musicians. The food is light fare and the servers pull off some great maneuvers to get it to you on crowded nights. I'm partial to the tribute evenings to particular musicians and have been to several. It's never disappointing, and for me always nostalgic. If you want a sense of what the Village was like during its heyday, visit the Wha? ! | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d548418-Reviews-Cafe_Wha-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | Cafe Wha? | categories: Bars & Clubs Dance Clubs & Discos | Cafe Wha? ; categories: Bars & Clubs Dance Clubs & Discos ; ; Reviews: Christmas Eve 2019! , What an amazing experience!

New York City | Reviews: MY FAVORITE SHOW, I cannot get over this performance, this was my third time going to a blue man show; twice in NYC and once in Las Vegas. Staff at the entrance was super friendly on all occasions, the performers great as always, they are always on point and super funny. I would recommend this to any group of any age it’s good to laugh every once in a while., Traveled with friends Amazing!!!, I have been dreaming of seeing The Blue Man Group perform since I was in elementary school. I was obsessed with becoming a drummer when I was little, and I used to see all the advertisements on busses, trains, and billboards when my mom took me into Boston. I was in NYC celebrating my 30th birthday and we found out Blue Man Group was performing while we were visiting. Attending this show was literally me living a childhood dream. I was beyond impressed and I would LOVE to be able to attend another show., Traveled as a couple The craziest, weirdest, most awesome performance I’ve ever seen, The blue man group is … uh… umm.. a performance. There’s no other way to describe it. You’ll just have to see it yourself to see what I mean. That said, these actors have to be pretty darn talented to do what they do. This show’s got humor, this show’s got music, this show even has a fair bit of audience participation (very fun, especially in a cozy little theatre like this one). It’s artsy, it’s funny, it’s crazy, and you’ll have a blast.

This show’s got humor, this show’s got music, this show even has a fair bit of audience participation (very fun, especially in a cozy little theatre like this one). It’s artsy, it’s funny, it’s crazy, and you’ll have a blast. No one I ever spoke to left this show disappointed., Traveled with family | [

New York City | Reviews: Loved it!, Dear Evan Hansen was a very moving play. The actor that played Even played his role well. Prepare to be moved to tears at times. The rest of the characters were funny and appeared to be enjoying themselves, which in turn, makes the audience enjoy the show much better. I have been wanting to see this song for four years and I’m glad I finally made it. Very Engaging Musical!, I was able to get half-price tickets for this show at TKTS, which had not been available on several previous visits. Dear Evan Hansen lives up to its numerous awards and great reviews. Although the subject matter is offbeat, you are drawn in by the emotional journey of Evan and the other characters. The dialog and lyrics are very moving.
The lead, Jordan Fisher, is tremendously talented. My seat was close to the stage, and I could see his every facial expression, every tear, every mannerism. It seemed as if he were living the role, rather than acting it. I can't imagine giving that much to an audience day after day. The rest of the cast was very strong as well.
I thoroughly enjoyed my evening and highly recommend this show. Terrific and Moving Musical, I had no idea what to expect from this musical but I absolutely loved it. It was moving, funny in parts but acting was excellent. If you don't leave this theatre with a tear in your eye then you haven't understood this show. I would recommend it to anyone who asked. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d11870693-Reviews-Dear_Evan_Hansen-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | Dear Evan Hansen | categories: Theatre & Performances | Description: Suggested duration | Dear Evan Hansen ; categories: Theatre & Performances ; Description: Suggested duration ; Reviews: Loved it!, Dear Evan Hansen was a very moving play.

New York City | Reviews: Hershey Lover's Paradise, We included Hershey's Chocolate World as one of our stops while in NYC over the holidays. There was a small line to get inside as they seemed to be limiting the number of patrons allowed in the shop at a given time. You were also instructed to wear your mask at all times, enter through the front of the shop and exit through the side of the building.
Inside they had all kinds of Hershey's candy for sale and some merchandise too. They had the Grinch kisses which we thought was pretty neat. Employees were wearing shirts advertising the Grinch kisses. I would have loved to have purchased a shirt with the Grinch Kiss design, but they did NOT have them for sale. they also had some really nice candles that were candy scented but they were around $20 each. We ended up just buying a couple of candy bars that were labeled as NYC store exclusives: Birthday Cake and a Cookies'N'Mint candy bar. In the back they also had an dessert shop that appeared to sell milkshakes and cookies, but it looked rather expensive.
Overall, I thought this was a nice shop especially IF you love Hershey's candy. I liked that they were implementing safety precautions during the pandemic. I would recommend. Nice store , Very nice store. It consists of one level. Employees are friendly, and welcoming. You greet by the door with a complementary Hershey’s mini bar. The kids had a blast filling an entire 1/4 zipper bag for 9.99$. Fast check out., Traveled with family An Experience , I don’t believe I ever went into this store until this trip down to the city. It’s a cute store with different varieties and items. There is a hot bar which had coffee and hot chocolate and in the back was a different section, which had s’mores and milkshakes! It was great. We decided to try a milkshake because the store was incredibly hot! The employee who took our order was fantastic! My oldest son said it was his first time in NYC and he was given a free chocolate bar! The milkshake was delicious and just what we needed to cool down! I recommend the peanut butter cup milkshake! I wish it wasn’t so warm inside, we probably would have spent a longer time in and purchased something but we needed to leave because it was so hot. , Traveled with family | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d630144-Reviews-Hershey_s_Chocolate_World_Times_Square-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4 | Hershey's Chocolate World Times Square | categories: Speciality & Gift Shops | Description: HERSHEY’S CHOCOLATE WORLD Attraction has moved to a bigger and better location in the heart of Times Square, New York.

New York City | Reviews: Worth every penny!, I thought this production was worth every penny. I had some background knowledge of the story, and my son had read all the books and seen all the movies. I am lost at the comments about the "fake" accents, as I am from England and was surprised to read the programme to find that none of them were actually British, so they did a fantastic job with the accents in my opinion.
The special effects were spectacular, and working as tech at a local theatre company, I could really appreciate how good they were, and the sound was excellent.
Yes it is a long production at 1.5hrs for each of the two acts, but that can be researched in advance and shouldn't be a surprise to anybody.
The only thing that I found annoying was that if people are not able to get into their seats before the show starts, then they should have to wait until an appropriate time to be seated. At such an expensive price per ticket nobody should have to miss any of the show because of late arrivals walking across the front of them, or making people get out of their seats so that they can pass to get to theirs, it's not the cinema! A Very Magical Show , I went in April to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway in New York’s Lyric Theater. As a fan of Harry Potter since I was 3, I very much enjoyed it. The show is really something, spectacular. Smart of them to move it from a two part play down to a one part play. It allows for more people to see the show who otherwise wouldn’t have been able to see it previously. I don’t think the one part makes any difference if it actually was in two parts. They had the theater completely restored with all kinds of Harry Potter wallpaper and carpeting, the ceiling decorated too. The visual effects really make the show come to life, the soundtrack’s amazing too. It’s a long show about 3 hours, but it was worth every second, every minute even. Highly recommend if you love theater or are just a huge Potterhead like myself. It’s a great show for non Potterheads as well. Believe me, you won’t be disappointed. And if you’re anything like me you may fall in love with some new Harry Potter Characters. This is one if your like me, you’ll certainly be talking about for months. Awesome show!, My daughter is a huge HP fan so we partly went for her. We went with a group of 7 most of who were familiar with the books but 2 in our party didn't know anything about HP. Everyone loved the show. The playbill gives a brief history of HP so everyone could follow along. The actors were amazing. Scorpius was different then we all thought in the books and we loved him! Hes now my daughters favorite chacter.
The musical score was brillant, and we really enjoyed the little dances throughout. I particularly loved the stairway dance. The special effects and lighting all great as well. I would highly recommend going.
Only thing that was a drawback is so many people coming late and then getting up and down during the show. Thats a problem with all shows though. Wish they could be held back inbtw acts though.
Front row balcony I think would be great seats for all the special effects. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d14854633-Reviews-Harry_Potter_and_the_Cursed_Child-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | Harry Potter and the Cursed Child | categories: Theatre & Performances | Description: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is one Broadway play presented in two parts.

New York City | Reviews: Must Do for Nintendo fans, As a Nintendo fan, I was so excited to come here and check out merchandise, try some games, and take photos with the different statues they have around the store. They have a wide arrange of shirts, toys, gifts, games and other Nintendo related products here.
It is a total must do for anyone of any age!, Traveled as a couple Nintendo Fans Rejoice!, It's a bit small but I would definitely recommend this store for Nintendo fans. You can find some high quality exclusive merchandise here that you can't get elsewhere (so expect prices to reflect that with some items). They also pay homage to vintage games and systems in their displays for oldschool gamers, which is a nice touch! I imagine kids would have a fun time looking through merchandise too and seeing some familiar character's faces. “Itsa Mario!”, This is such a cool store to go to if you have kids (and even if you don’t)! Massive jumbo screen to play games on, a timeline of all of the Nintendo game consoles, life-size(?) statues of different Nintendo icon characters you can take pictures of and with. It’s just a great store to have fun at if you’re into gaming.
It’s also near the LEGO store and FAO Schwarz so it’s kind of nice to either space out all three stores in between more adult shopping, or to make a morning of hitting up all of the kid stores in downtown Manhattan!, Traveled with family | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d1533297-Reviews-Nintendo_New_York-New_York_City_New_York.html | 4.5 | Nintendo New York | categories: Game & Entertainment Centers | Description: Nintendo NY in Rockefeller Center is your very own Warp Pipe into the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond!

New York City | Reviews: A Times Square Disney wonderland!, Spread across two floors, this is a must for any Disney fan - and those who aren't! Set right on Times Square, this store sells all things Disney including clothing, toys, collectables, jewellery and more. It's open early til late, even on holiday weekends. We did two late night visits over Thanksgiving weekend 2019, I would definitely recommend late night if you can! As I say, I didn't visit during the day but I imagine it can get pretty crowded during the day, whereas we had room to shop and a small queue during the late night visit (I'm talking 10pm-ish).
Take photos with the large statues and make sure to pick up a NYC Mickey or a Statue of Liberty Minnie cuddly toy! Great visit , I have been in many Disney stores in the states and in France as well. This store is my favorite so far. Decorations are breathtaking with a Statue of Liberty of Mickey Mouse, and a mini castle! Kids had a blast. Staff are amazing, friendly and helpful., Traveled with family Magical , This Disney Store is magical. They have put such effort into the escalator section alone! There were so many items that I have never seen in a Disney Store before. The after Christmas sales were basically nonexistent here, but we spent a good amount of time just browsing through.

The whole place was very tranquil. Glenda and Soukaina are the best therapists who went above and beyond during our couple’s hot stone massage.

New York City | Reviews: Brits abroad, We’re a couple based in England who wanted to buy an engagement ring in NYC. We were a bit nervous about this and went to Jangmi based on their excellent reviews. We found them to be very knowledgeable and helpful: they worked to our budget and gave us several options. We weren’t pressured in any way but found a beautiful ring. On returning to the UK we’ve had the ring valued for insurance and are very pleased with the value for money we got by buying in NYC. Can totally recommend this business to any couples but specifically anyone from the UK who is nervous about making such a big purchase abroad., Traveled as a couple Jangmi is the best!, Jangmi Jewelry is the best jewelry store I've ever been to!! From the moment I walk up to their counter, Mrs Kim, Mr Kim, and their daughters always give me a warm welcome like I'm family. They were recommended to me when I was in search of an engagement ring. Mrs Kim literally held me by the hand and made an amazing ring for me within my budget that my fiancee (now wife) fell in love with! Months later I was back looking for a wedding band and they delivered! Gave me a beautiful ring that matched perfectly with the engagement ring at an AMAZING price!! They literally sold me the ring I wanted at a huge discount to make me and my wife happy. Fast forward three years later, I found myself going back to them for a push present for my wife. Once again they delivered big time! My wife had hinted she wanted a second wedding band, so they gave me the EXACT same wedding band for the EXACT same price they gave me the first time!!
Overall, I am extremely happy and grateful I found Jangmi jewelry. Not only do they have the best jewelry but they are so friendly with amazing customer service, I'm never going to any other jewelry store. Thank you Mr and Mrs Kim for all your help and support! , Traveled as a couple Jangmi is the Best, Wife's experience: My husband got my beautiful engagement ring from Jangmi, so we decided to go back to select our wedding bands and we had such a wonderful experience working with them. We were taken care of by Leo who was very friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with us as we tried on several styles of their wedding bands. He really listened to our needs and found us the perfect bands that we were looking for. Jangmi really makes the ring purchase such a stress-free and seamless process and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for fine jewelry. We had gone to several other corporate jewelry stores, but we could not be any happier with our rings from Jangmi!
My experience: Jangmi was extremely helpful when I had really no idea how to go about buying my engagement ring. I reached out on Instagram chat on their account and I was not in town, but Sue was able to help me throughout the week as I constantly asked questions. Leo was extremely helpful throughout the process and made me feel at ease. As soon as I started communications with Jangmi, I felt like I had made the right decision. As someone who was considering purchasing online, I am extremely relieved that I didn't. The engagement ring is definitely worth getting from a place that you trust. Leo, Sue, Mr. and Mrs. Kim were all really amazing and I am glad that I chose Jangmi. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d2426213-Reviews-Jangmi-New_York_City_New_York.html | 5 | Jangmi | categories: Speciality & Gift Shops | Description: Jangmi is the best diamond store in the heart of Diamond District in New York.

New York City | Reviews: The Nutcracker Suite 2021, As reported in the NYT, this year the Nutcracker features older and fewer children, but it's still the great classic ballet, and perhaps even better. The dancers were all charming, the costumes perfect, plus the sets are spectacular and the orchestra sounds great. It was a full house, but vaccination status and IDs are check on the way in to make for a safer experience for all. It's a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday season. Do allow yourself a bit more time than in the past to get to your seat. Just wow!, I've visited NYC numerous times, but this was my first visit to the ballet. The theatre itself is gorgeous and inspiring. The ballet was so lovely and magical that you could have heard a pin drop during every performance. In fact, we sat very high in the 4th ring and could hear the tapping of pointe shoes of the performers. The orchestra and pianist were so great that I had a hard time deciding who to watch - the musicians or dancers. Highly recommend and we will be back! An overview of our NYC Ballet experience., The performers and the choreography in Swan Lake are amazing. Despite a minor stumble by one of the male dancers, the performance was practically flawless. We bought our tickets on StubHub, that deserves a seperate review. Face value for Orchestra Row M is $152. We payed $300 plus StubHub Fees. We had seats 119 & 120, 120 is an aisle seat. Orchestra has plenty of leg room compared to the rings above and the view is fine. The pitch of the orchestra is fairly mild so you run the risk of a tall person sitting in front of you and obstructing your line of sight. We arrived at 7:45 for an 8:00 show. This gave us time to use the bathroom and get seated. The attire for both men and women varies between jeans and sweater to tuxedos and gowns. Overall, we had a lovely evening at one of NY’s finest theaters.

New York City | Reviews: Wow! A fantastic way to spend an evening!, I went to see the show this past Monday. I saw 3 magicians and a mentalist (Ryan Kane, Noah Levine, Mike Patrick and Jason Suran (the mentalist).
All were jaw dropping amazing. The magic ranged from card tricks and rope tricks to a really realy amazing Rubik's cube trick and pulling a wine bottle out of thin air. The mentalist was top notch. He had a great way about him and he explained a lot about himself and his history in the art. The show was 2 hours long and I was wowed the whole time.
I'm a local and will heading back and bringing friends .... and given that they mix up the magicians for each show, there will always be something new.
The theater is old and filled with charm! It's a small theater so all seats are good. A great experience, This was a magical experience. Lets start with the talent, the show, then the location.
The talent changes from week to week. When I attended last week there was a continuing emcee, then two acts which lasted an hour. The 10 minute intermission allowed for multiple spots in the theater for the magicians to observe close up magic; a one hour performance followed intermission.
The material is clean aka family friendly, but by no means boring. The audience provided all the performers with a standing ovation at the end; it was well deserved.
The facility is 15 rows, with six seats on each side of the aisle. The seating is tiered so a good view is possible regardless of the seat.
I have read some reviews that some folks did not like the theatre. They are correct, it is an old theater. But the condition is clean, the chairs are comfortable for my size 40 backside, and if you want a prettier location that can be found for $100 more per ticket on Broadway. If you want to be thoroughly entertained for 2+ hours at an affordable price, this is an excellent choice.
One last comment: I am a magician. I flew 900 miles just to see this show because of its reputation. I would gladly do it again., Traveled with friends Regular Monday can turned out like fantastic amazing fun night, We came to this cozy small theater one Monday’s evening with my friend. People there are so talented, pleasant and professional. It was like magic and comedy show at the same time, and we didn’t pay double for that 😄haha
We had so much fun🤩 We will definitely come back for other performances 🙌🏻Highly recommend to visit 🤩, Traveled with friends | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d6991771-Reviews-Monday_Night_Magic-New_York_City_New_York.html | 5 | Monday Night Magic | categories: Theatre & Performances | Description: Monday Night Magic is New York's longest-running Off-Broadway Magic Show.
