That’s a lot of action packed into a few short days. I felt tired just watching! 😊 Great video Khila, thanks for sharing. X

Great Video.. Love the music and the clear crisp video.. Excellent editing and narration. Truly Love How your family enjoyed New York. Thanks❤❤❤❤❤

[@impossibleprincess926]

Thanks so much for making this available again! Gave me lots of ideas. We loved using the NYC ferry the last time we were there. Never used the subway just walking and the ferry. It was especially fab at night. Thanks for the toilet tip at Bryant Park. That will come in handy!

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Thank you! If ever I can help, you can DM me on Instagram.. it’s my favourite subject

[@hindlmissaoui5203]

wonerful very pleasant and very useful vide. Thank you

[@Mlwclw75]

As you know we go often because our son lives in NYC but I never tire of the architecture and people watching

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Yes, what a great situation!

[@rebeccawidnall223]

Love you holiday vlogs. You got so much jammed into your trip.

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

I always plan it like it might be the last time we get to go 😂

[@lindacarson5429]

This was such a great vlog - you did a lot - glad I was sitting down to watch it 😂. I will have to go back soon if only to see Bryant Park public loos!

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Haha! Worth the trip!

[@davidtrainerdjdavidgiggsgrant]

Wow what’s a great thing u got to visit

[@gigilou]

This makes me want to go back to New York sooooo bad!!! ❤❤

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Never a bad idea

[@linfrisenfelds1195]

Thank you for sharing this Mikhila, really enjoyed it. X😊😊😊

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Thank you!!

[@bunnyhunny2936]

You looked fab in this video and so happy ❤really enjoyed this

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Thank you!!

[@lizevans257]

Wow 😊just wow 10 weeks and counting to mine and my best friends trip this vlog has been so informative Khila would love you to do a follow up Q and A , did you enjoy Chicago and the ballet ? Did you book tickets for them in the Uk or when you were actually in NYC ? xxx ❤

[@rachelhowe1922]

Just wondering where your love if New York comes from.? Loved this vlog, somewhere I’ve never been but is definitely on my list

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

I honestly think it’s just being a product of 90s TV/movie culture. My parents were big yankophiles when I was a kid too so maybe that? It’s also a walking city so I feel totally in control of my movements.. whereas in LA, say, I’d have to rely on someone else driving because I don’t want to drive abroad.

[@Sammy-1234]

This is great timing as I’m currently in NY on holiday 😀

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Hope you had a great time ♥️

[@Sammy-1234]

We did thank you, I love NY 🙂. Now dealing with the jetlag though!

[@WellWithHels]

Ahhh loved seeing these clips of your holiday 🤩 You packed so much in and really enjoyed the way you edited it.... Felt relaxing to watch! Q&A video on visiting NY would be so helpful - What would be your top tips for first visit to NY for people not so interested in 'touristy' stuff? Also how safe did you feel? Especially using the subway... I watch a few NYC vloggers and safety feels like a big topic right now 🙏xxx P.S. LOVED your tortoise shell sunglasses!!

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

People ALWAYS ask me about safety .. someone at work asked if I’d ever been mugged.. as if it was a guarantee 😂 I’ve never felt unsafe BUT I think I have a pretty laid back view of my own safety so I might not be the best person to ask on that front

[@andi250890]

Hoping to go at Christmas, can't wait!

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

You’ll have a great time!! The tree is lit at 5am every morning.. so if you want to see it without the crowds, get there super early, it’s MAGICAL

[@gemmamillington7314]

Definitely using this as inspiration for plans for my solo trip in 2 weeks 😊

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Oh what a dream trip!

[@sarahvob]

Loved it!!! Literally so much to see and do. I went in January… is it a lot more expensive to treble in warmer months did u find than winter? I want to take my lads next

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

We almost always go in January cause it’s cheap. It’s all about tweaking the dates and dropping on a good deal really.January is cheaper than any other time though

[@FavouriteMercy0]

How sweet is milo btw!! So jealous of your trip. We went last year for our honeymoon - only took 4 years to get there in the end due to covid, costs etc. and it was amazing. Absolutely living vicariously through you just now! I’m due a baby on Thursday so not visiting nyc any time soon 😭😂

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Ahh we took milo when he was 5. In summer there is SO much to do with little kids

[@FavouriteMercy0]

@@MikhilaMcDaid good to know! Honestly I’ll use any excuse to try and get back. Although the thought of getting out of bed just now makes me feel too tired haha

[@FunkyChild718]

Roosevelt Island is separate from Manhattan but part of the same county as Manhattan (New York County).

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Is it its own borough? Or does it not belong to a borough?

[@annared07]

You are a next level trip planner - do you take commissions? 🙂

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Hahaha

[@gemmasmith6715]

You're such a new York expert I love when you go to New York 😁

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

So do I!! 😂

[@malcolmstirling808]

Where do you catch the NYC ferry on the east side

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

They’re dotted all down the east side but jot the west. If you download the app you can see all the stops and plot your routes

[@malcolmstirling808]

@@MikhilaMcDaid cheers

[@malcolmstirling808]

@@MikhilaMcDaid 😊 thanks

How many airports does Virgin Atlantic stop at?

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Google says 32 destinations

[@charlottemarriott9882]

So many questions…… where was the Harry Potter shop? Would you recommend your hotel?

[@marydavidson9508]

The Harry Potter store is in the Flatiron district, just past the famous Flatiron building (I went twice on my trip last summer 😊)

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

I would definitely recommend our hotel and the Harry Potter store was very close by (as Mary put above)

[@Emi1ia.1]

I been to New York few times but never used the subway. Do you feel safe in it? How is it in the evening? Would you go again or do you feel like you have "seen it all"?

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

I think this was my 13th visit so I would absolutely go again 😂 as for the subway, each ride is a gamble in terms of fellow passengers. There are people on there selling things, people preaching religion but I’ve never felt unsafe

[@Emi1ia.1]

@@MikhilaMcDaid Oh wow 13 times! That's amazing. Thanks for the info because it seems like easy way to see the city and get to places rather than having to take the taxi everywhere.

[@courtneyr19]

The music reminds me of sex and the city ❤

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Me too!

[@lavster]

Hey Mikhila, love your vlogs! I wondered would you mind if I added your channel to catavlogs? It’s a site that lists vloggers by travel location, helping people to find new content

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Sure!
