Adventures in NYC

What happens when you take a girl from a popular tourist spot to an even bigger tourist spot? Let's see what happens...

1. Grand Central Terminal

New York, NY 10017
(212) 340-2583

Categories: Landmarks & Historical Buildings, Train Stations

Neighbourhood: Midtown East

10/21/2011

What can I say that hasn't been said already?

Grand Central Terminal is a bunch of contradictions. It's always busy, yet somehow calming in the gorgeous space. It's a tourist attraction, yet it's not suffocating like, say, Times Square. It's a…More »

2. Economy Candy Market

108 Rivington St
New York, NY 10002

Category: Candy Stores

Neighbourhood: Lower East Side

10/19/2011

I LOVE THIS STORE.

I came here during a previous visit, and it was instant love. It's just piles and piles and piles of CHEAP CANDY! Well, mostly cheap. I know the handmade chocolates cost more. But there were tables of regular candy bars for 75…More »

10/19/2011

A group of my friends went to NYC last month. After they came back, I talked to one of them about their trip. My friend raved about Doughnut Plant's tres leche doughnut. I mean, he went into full detail about it. That's how much he loved it.

I must…More »

Staten Island, NY 10301
(718) 876-8441

Category: Public Transportation

10/21/2011

A long time ago, I spent several summer weeks in NYC, taking a summer class at NYU. During my free time, I rode the Staten Island Ferry many times. It was sometimes crowded, sometimes not. I loved it. It was the perfect way to cool down on a hot…More »

Category: Hotels

Neighbourhood: Gramercy

10/19/2011

I chose to stay here because it was in Manhattan, I was a solo traveler, and it fit my budget.

Location: awesome. Quiet area, within walking of a few subway stations, plenty of cool little restaurants in the neighborhood.

Price: Can't beat $115/night…More »

New York, NY 10016
(212) 679-0442

Category: Delis

Neighbourhoods: Midtown East, Murray Hill

10/19/2011

I enjoy old-fashioned New York delis. I've been to Katz's, Carnegie, Stage, and 2nd Avenue, back when it was actually on 2nd Avenue. I was gonna have lunch at 2nd Avenue's new location, but after looking at the high prices on the menu, I went…More »

Hi. Here's yet another Shake Shack review.

8. Hershey's Times Square Store

1593 Broadway
New York, NY 10019
(212) 581-9100

Category: Candy Stores

Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Theater District

10/19/2011

It's small. It's cramped. It's overpriced. Yes, I know it's a tourist attraction, but I still cringed when people loaded up on 4 for $14 bags of candy.

I walked out within minutes of walking in. I had to; there was nowhere else to go.

9. Times Square

Broadway and 42nd St
New York, NY 10036

Category: Local Flavor

Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Theater District

10/19/2011

It's bright. It's so bright, you can probably see it from space.

It's crowded. It's even worse when the Broadway shows let out.

It's home to several oversized national chain restaurants. Unless these chains don't exist where you live, please, please…More »
