You saw a good amount for one trip in NYC! As a local, I always warn people that you will not be able to see everything in one trip… or two… or three even. 😅 Hey, I still haven’t even been to the Edge or done a helicopter tour. The city can be overwhelming if you try to do too much so I recommend you pick a few things that are scattered about so you can spend a day in different parts of the city including boroughs other than Manhattan. Leave time in your schedule to be spontaneous or spend more time in a place you like. Depending on how much of it you wanted to see or how many things you’d wanted to do, you could easily spend a whole 3 days in central park alone and still not see everything in it!! I agree that the NY Pass seems like a good deal especially if you want to do general touristy things but still see a decent amount of the city… but after that I’d try to avoid doing too many of those things because they don’t really give you a feel for what the city’s really like as the activities included are tourist activities in touristy areas… areas which locals generally try to avoid. 😅

I agree with this 100%. It's my 7th time in the city and I STILL feel like I have so so much left to see. It's the first time I've gone with an "adult" budget, the previous times I went as a college student and stayed in hostels etc, so it definitely felt good to finally be able to afford all the touristy stuff. But on our next visit, we're definitely planning on doing a lot more "local" stuff.

Lately, I've been quite reluctant to get married; as they often say in Chinese nowadays, fear of getting married. But watching your video made me feel that marriage can indeed be a very happiness thing. So, I really appreciate you sharing your video.😀😀😘

We only got a 4 day pass because there are a few things (like Summit One Vanderbuilt) that are not included so we thought having 4 day pass would be enough and then we could fill the other days with other things! I would definitely recommend that, especially because exploring central park alone can take you a whole day. I believe we paid $450 for us both for the 4 days, which was VERY worth it

Another nice activity to do during sunset is to have a picnic in Island Park, which offers a nice view over the Hudson River and the One World Trade Center. Plus it has amazing architecture and it’s looked near an entrance to the elevated park called the High Line where you walk through the buildings. Both activities are free.

@SofiaAbrantes
@SofiaAbrantes Жыл бұрын
Yes! So you do go onto the island, but it doesn't include entrance to the TOP of the statue itself (Lady Liberty). You can walk and see her from up close, like we did, but there's also a separate option to go INSIDE the statue and that you have to pay extra for. That's what they mean with this: "*Does not include entry to pedestal or crown levels inside Statue of Liberty - must be purchased separately." Hope this helps and have a fantastic trip 🤩

Why MacDonalds breakfast.......what about all the amazing diners and bagel places??
@SofiaAbrantes
@SofiaAbrantes 5 ай бұрын
Hi! I completely understand your question and please know we did check out a lot of diners and bagel places as lunch/mid afternoon food stops. But using McDonalds means we got to save 10-20% each meal by using the self-service screens and not having to pay a tip, which is the case in diners and bagels. We're also from Portugal, so we got to try all the USA-exclusive things on the McDs menu, which we love doing every country we go to (Japan was super fun, for example). It helped us manage our budget bit better ☺️ hope this clarifies it, and have a great day!!

Thanks. Liked most of your exploring. Cool to see a number of the observatories. Which of the sunset cruises did you do? Helicopter was very cool! Would have added going into the main public library on the end of Bryant Park. It’s free. The building is stunning and they have an exhibition (Treasures) of some of the interesting items in their collection on the main floor. The Transit Museum in Brooklyn not far from DUMBO would have been an interesting addition there as well. Would NOT have gone to the wax museum. With all of the other museums in the city to pick on a rainy day, that will never be on my list. Other choices- Metropolitan Museum, Morgan Library, American Museum of Natural History, and so many more.

Thank you! We did the Circle Line sunset cruise (listed in my description). I didn't go to Bryant Park public library this time as I'd already been a handful of times, but it's a great recommendation 😊 As for the wax museum: honestly it was just an immediate rain escape type of thing (it started pouring and we were right next to it and it was free with our pass, so we did to pass some time). I agree with you though, and have also visited most of the ones you mentioned on previous trips!

You're very welcome! It's very easy to go from JFK to NYC (near Times Square, for example). You basically take the Air Train at JFK (red line, you can get on it right outside the airport and there are signs everywhere) and switch once at Jamaica Station, onto the E line direction World Trade Center. If you use google maps (download the map area offline for easier use within the subway) it'll help out. CityMapper is also great for navigating the system. Hope this helps, have the best time!!

Great video - Thank you for sharing. Question- did you have to pre book/reserve the times for each of the NY pass attractions when you bought it? or you can just walk-in to them?
@SofiaAbrantes
@SofiaAbrantes 6 ай бұрын
Some you can walk in, others you have to pre book! On the pass app or website you can see for each activity whether there is any pre booking necessary. Off the top of my head we had to pre book Empire State, The Ride, the sunset cruise, and The Edge. So I’d assume yes unless the website says so for each. Either way, pre booking was really simple and required only clickling a link on the page and picking a time/date. It’s also handy because it allows you to skip the line and waste less time waiting each day

@SofiaAbrantes
@SofiaAbrantes Жыл бұрын
Subway is definitely easier!! Which airport are you flying into? If it’s JFK, when you land you follow signs leading to “AirTrain”, which take you to Jamaica station. From there, you’ll just need to pick the line that takes you closest to your hotel. Citymapper is a great app for planning that trip out or just using throughout your trip, tells you everything. Keep in mind: with large suitcases, taxi may be best. You’ll be navigating a lot of stairs. We travel carry on only, so it was okay.

@@Justbrowsing LaGuardia is even easier, as it is right in the middle of the city. Our hotel was great, we loved it. It's walking distance from Times Square and other major attractions like Empire State Building, but we mostly used the subway. We got a 7 day subway pass which lets you ride unlimited, made it much cheaper and easier logistically (you can buy it at any ticket machine at subway entrances). You can definitely use the hop in hop out to go to attractions, we just ended up preferring the subway. When you make your itinerary, just use Citymapper to simulate what your journey from point A to point B would be. Hope this helps!

@SofiaAbrantes
@SofiaAbrantes Жыл бұрын
Yes they do have a middle seat, however there's also a seat up in the front with the pilot. So we were 5 (4 in the back, one in the front). I wouldn't recommend paying to not end up in the middle, just because of all of the flights we saw leave they never once filled one with 6 people. Even my seat, which was not fully "open window" allowed for me to put my feet out. Having said that: if you're fairly small, you may end up in the middle as you'd perhaps be the only person to fit there if it came to it. If you're a little on the bigger side, you have less to worry about as they wouldn't try to squeeze you in. Sounds horrible, but gives you some insight on how it works

@SofiaAbrantes
@SofiaAbrantes Жыл бұрын
Hi @@georgehandsley6660! So our total flight time was 30 minutes and I wouldn't recommend anything less than that. Typically, 15 minute flights will skip central park and only go to Liberty Island, which offers okay views but nothing wow compared to what you'd see from a ferry for example (so not worth the money, since this is pricey). The 30 mins one takes you over Manhattan (central park etc), over all the bridges, and over Financial District (and statue of course). So I only recommend doing this if you're willing to go for the 30 mins because then it's really worth the "wow" factor. If budget is a non-issue, I'd go for the late sunset one so you can see it during the day and as all the lights turn on (this one was a little too expensive for us, but I can imagine it must be fantastic). Remember that take off/landing eats up 10 of those 30 minutes, but you can expect 20 minutes of pure bliss up there! I hope you have the best time!! PS - if it makes no difference to you, booking through my link in the description sends a commission my way without making it more expensive to you, and it really helps out my channel! Thanks for considering and for watching ☺

Every attraction page on their website or app explains how you can book everything, they are all different. For this specific one you can check this page (newyorkpass.com/en-us/statue-of-liberty-and-ellis-island) and if you scroll down to the section called "Before You Go" you'll find the link to the reservation page, which can only be done once you've bought the pass. Keep in mind a lot of things get fully booked, so make sure to book your favorites ahead of time. I know for "The Ride" they didn't have many spots left, although I doubt the cruises ever fully book out. Hope this helped and have a great trip!

In total how much did you need for this trip ? Including: Flights Food Hotels Transportation??
@SofiaAbrantes
@SofiaAbrantes Жыл бұрын
That's really hard for me to estimate for you, as it is completely dependent on factors like 1) your lifestyle and eating habits, 2) the activities you like, 3) where you're flying in from, 4) the quality of food/accommodation/transportation you're expecting and perhaps most importantly 5) what time of year you go (christmas holidays vs random week in April). My biggest suggestions for you to budget this trip for yourself are to: 1) Use tools like Google Flights Explore and Skyscanner (selecting fly on flexible dates) to find out when it is most affordable to fly from your location (and try to make this work) 2) Use booking.com to search up hotels in the areas you'd consider staying, around the dates found above, to correctly estimate the cost per night 3) Decide what kind of food you want to eat, and find out it's cost in NYC. For example: we budgeted 100$/day for food, but we were willing to have fastfood/hotdogs/pizza for meals like lunch and opted for take away to our hotel on nicer restaurants to avoid service fees. Food delivery services are also a great option to eat for cheap at your hotel. 4) Decide on what kind of transportation you want. Ubers/taxis are expensive, but maybe what you want. For $32 we got a 7 day metro pass we could use unlimited. Hope this helps!

You're very welcome! Glad it helped. I purchased them before arriving, as they only activate the time period (for example, the four days) the first time you check in to one activity (so keep this in mind). We had to prebook some, and not others. Each individual activity (both on the website and on the app) will tell you what you need to do beforehand. Some require reservations (cruise, Empire State, The Ride, just to name some) and others don't. Reserving or pre-booking will not activate your pass, so feel free to reserve everything you want ahead of time without worries. Keep in mind some do charge "no-show" fees if you book and don't show (The Ride, for example). Hope this helps
