    PRO TIP: Save money when buying your tickets to the NYC attractions of your choice by visiting NYC City Pass. Buy your tickets in a bundle instead of buying your tickets individually: www.citypass.com/new-york-comparison

    When I saw the Intrepid in 2001, one of the tour guides was a fella who served on it during WWII. Below deck in the hanger, he pointed out the two locations where kamikazes hit the ship. Also there was a big screen TV with the Discovery documentary playing on loop. As we walked by the TV, this veteran was actually on the TV giving an interview. He said to some kids watching, "hey who's that guy!?" They were blown away that it was him!

      Hello! So I did a bit of research and I found a pretty good resource for planning your transportation in different cities. You had a question about getting from the airport to Manhattan. Here is a link with detailed instructions on how you can do this using public or private transportation. Have a look. Also note that there is also an app available as well: www.rome2rio.com/s/New-York-JFK-Airport-JFK/Manhattan?source=adwords&gclid=CjwKCAjwzo2mBhAUEiwAf7wjkkhwEaeRMqik3XMMPHkwFfQsL7RBmI80jz3v2miKt5AsFdAKH8nVBBoCMY0QAvD_BwE

They took the Concorde down the river for maintenance but I’m sure it will be back by late spring. Happy travels !

    Excellent video, thanks for your valuable and useful tips. One question: How to get a sim card(for google maps)? Is it available on the airport for tourists, what are the charges and requirements to get a sim card.?

    • @travels_wright
      @travels_wright  Před 8 měsíci

      Hello!
      Yes, you can buy a physical SIM card at the airport if you wish. They have some vending machines in the arrival hall. Although I feel it may be a little cheaper if you buy them in the city. I would put aside a minimum of 35 dollars to buy a card. Which card you get and spend money on will probably depend on your needs. Some smart phones have E-sims so you can activate it by contacting your existing phone provider. Hope this helps and that you have an amazing trip. Thank you for watching the video!

Also, some museums are free on certain days and others like the Guggenheim have pay as you wish time slots Saturday evenings that we took advantage of while we were there.

    Great video for people looking to visit NYC. There are so many attractions and so many things to do that one may not be able to check off everything on their list.
    However, I would also recommend that tourists visit the Bronx Zoo, Botanical Garden, and City Island in the Bronx; Botanic Garden in Brooklyn; and, Grand Central Terminal and the High Line in Manhattan.

      By all means, if it takes longer to do these attractions, it’s all good too, but If you’re only in the city for 3 days, then these are some great recommendations to choose from. There is a good chance that not all these attractions will 100% appeal to everyone so it serves as a guide of what can be done in 3 days. I Always recommend going at your own pace when doing planning.

    Excellent video review of the City! I’ve been there 100s of times, having grown up in Philadelphia, just down the highway. (do you have a video of that city?). Anyway, I always advise visitors to see Tomkins Sq Park, just beyond the Lower East Side. It’s not as scenic as Central Park but you can see how the real, everyday NY’ers live. There are live performances (usually not good but fun to watch), pro-grade skateboarders, and the 2 dog parks are the best free entertainment south of Times Square.

      Hello!
      This is a actually a great video topic. I’ll have to do some research on the public transit route. I have always driven to NYC or taken an Uber or taxi from airport. Depending on the amount of luggage you will be carrying with you, the latter may be the best and easiest option albeit a little more expensive. I would also check with your hotel as some of them offer shuttle service to and from the airport as well. Hope you enjoy your stay all the way from Croatia!

      The JFK & Newark airports are easy to make connections.
      From Newark you take a bus to the city. As I remember you can get off the bus on the NYC side of the George Washington bridge and make MTA subway connections.
      From JFK there is the plane train. It takes you to the MTA “A” train. Separate fares for plane train and the “A” station. Absolutely the cheapest way to get to the city. BTW $1 charge for each MTA card for either/both plane train and/or MTA.
      There is a bus from LaGuardia airport to a MTA train station but never tried that.

    This was a great list for anyone who has never been to the city. I absolutely love the Museum of Natural History. I go there every few years or so. Speaking of Museums, over on the 5th Ave side of Central Park (aka Museum Mile), there are quite a few. The Met is inside the park on the 5th Ave side, but I like visiting the City of New York Museum which is also right across the street from the park.
    The Brooklyn Bridge is awesome and I also highly recommend walking it to Brooklyn Bridge Park. However, if you want a nice quiet bridge to walk without tourists, The High Bridge in High Bridge Park in Washington Heights is a bridge I like walking. High Bridge Park, High Bridge Water Tower, and the bridge itself have a lot of history. The High Bridge is the oldest bridge in Manhattan (Brooklyn Bridge is the second oldest) and the High Bridge Water Tower is the tallest tower in Manhattan. They give free self guided tours of the tower the first Sunday of each month and there are really awesome views up there. Of course, being a water tower (that’s no longer being used) there are no elevators. It’s 170 steps to climb. If you can walk it, it’s worth it. High Bridge Park is also very close to the George Washington Bridge which is another awesome bridge to walk (yes a lot of traffic as it’s the busiest bridge in America, but well worth the walk to get spectacular views of the Hudson River). Also close by is the Morris-Jummel mansion (the oldest house in Manhattan). They turned that house into a museum. Only 15 minutes from the High Bridge Tower. The Little Red Lighthouse directly below the G.W. is also worth visiting. Oh and not too far away from the G.W. is Fort Tryon Park in Hudson Heights where The Met Cloisters is, so if anyone is willing to explore upper Manhattan, those would be my suggestions. All of the places are an easy subway ride on the A or C. 😁

    What is the advantage of the metro card? If you pay as you go with Apple Pay or card it is also capped at 12 paid rides per week, but you don’t have to pay for anything you might not need.

    • @travels_wright
      @travels_wright  Před 10 měsíci

      I feel it would probably cost more to not use the weekly pass. Would also depend on how May attractions you would be going to see. We used it quite a bit as it was our only means of transportation throughout the city. Also, if you accidentally take the wrong subway car or get off at the wrong station you won’t have to worry. With the pass, you only pay one fixed price.
      Hope this helps 👍🏾

    • @travels_wright
      @travels_wright  Před 10 měsíci

      That’s correct, if you swipe the weekly card fewer than 12 times you will save money paying for each individual trip. But if you go over 12 swipes the weekly card becomes the cheaper/cost saving option. So really depends on the itinerary that has been planned for the week.

      @d1on Před 10 měsíci +1

      @@travels_wright No that‘s what I meant, after 12 rides every ride with the same apple pay device or CC is totally free as well. So it won’t get more expensive than the weekly card. That‘s why I think it is only meant for people that don’t have a contactless credit card or apple pay and I can’t see the general advantage of that. Or am I missing something?

      @travels_wright  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Okay, I see the point you’re making now. I actually wasn’t aware they capped the charges when you use tap functions. I think you’re probably right. If you normally pay cash for your fares (most visitors will prefer cash), there wouldn’t really be a way to track the number of trips for a particular individual, so this is where the paper pass would be preferred in the case you don’t have an electronic means of payment to cap the charges. If you take enough trips it will come down to the same thing in either case. Thanks for pointing this out 👍🏾

    • @travels_wright
      @travels_wright  Před 10 měsíci +1

      There were 20 different sites or attractions of differing nature. Naturally, some took longer than others. For example, I wouldn’t spend 2 hours at the charging Bull because it’s not needed. You see it, grab a photo with it and you check it off your personal list. I spent 3 hours at the intrepid museum though because there was so much to do. So it really varies timewise. I guess the easiest way I can put it is that we never felt pressured or rushed at any point. We had our reservations when needed to avoid lines and once in a particular area, a lot of the attractions are so close by and accessible by foot. So it’s definitely doable. Be prepared to walk a lot though. There is no going around this😊. However long your personal list is, plan it and enjoy it and go at your own pace. Hope this answers your question 👍🏾

    I lived in NYC back in the early 2000s. I got to say, one of the oddest things I ever saw was the delivery of the Concord to the Intrepid museum. Just one morning there was the Concord being tugged up the Hudson on a barge. The other weird story when I lived there - a guy got arrested for having a pet tiger and alligator in his Harlem apartment. He got in trouble because he got bit by the tiger and at the ER they didn't believe him that it was a dog bite. There's a NY Post picture of a NYPD cop hanging from a harness outside a building, with a tranquilizer rifle and through the window you can see the tiger. Google that picture.
