I take it you haven’t been paying attention to what been going on in NYC people getting punched and robbed and don’t get me started on the subway 🚇 not even safe they have National Guard protection people don’t forget the people who invaded nyc so stay out of liberal cities like nyc and sf
Hi Julia: former New Yorker here. Why didn’t you take the subway to the ferry? Parking is practically nonexistent in lower Manhattan. I feel so badly about this. Looks like you had a good time otherwise.
It is so easy to get flustered when you are stressed out and in a hurry - particularly in a new city. When you are in your home area you can laugh off and dismiss scammers like you encountered - but during travel it is a different scenario. Hats of to you for sharing your story - it should help others in the future.
If you have been scammed, I’m sorry to hear that Dispute the payment and hope for the best. Don’t let that thought cross your mind because when that happens it’s only gonna end up driving up the wall. Try your best to request a charge back because if the parking dud is charged you $38 and instead charged you $100, that’s wrong that’s called stealing you’ve got the rights to dispute the payment. I’ve been scammed a couple of times I went and requested the charge back from my bank and they did it straight away. There are a lot of scams in this world that we all have to be aware of
My aunt knows the person who plays Iago in Aladdin on Broadway! Also, NYC is full of scammers and people scattered around times square and the statue of liberty area trying to sell you tours. I remember walking to the Staten Island Ferry from the subway station with my family and I and we got stopped by someone who asked where we were going for some reason.
I’m from an outside borough of Manhattan If you had jumped on the ferry you could have stopped by. Hint hint lol. I’m sorry you got scammed. Happens to a lot of people. Like you said lesson learned. Always use a parking garage. There’s almost always specials. Icon parking has an app. I leave mine on my phone. you can book prior to parking there and there’s almost always coupons. I hope it didn’t ruin your trip. I saw the hotel and have seen it from the outside. It’s really cute inside! I’m going to try it next time we do a weekend away. If you have any questions about the city or you’re planning another trip I’d be happy to help where I can! Happy birthday to your sister. Stay well. Vickie
Happy Birthday Alicia! Looks like you and sis had a wonderful time in NYC! ....Such a fun idea to get together every year on your sister's birthday, Julia!
I'm glad that you and your sister were able to enjoy time together in NYC. I live in NYC. I'll be happy to help you on how reserve parking in NYC and getting around in NYC. Wishing you and your family the best and maybe I'll see you when I'm in the airport somewhere.
I visit NYC about 5 times/year. I think Amtrak is a good option. You can also drive to an Edison parking lot next to the Seacaucus NJ train station, and take the train one stop into Manhattan.
Here's my birthday wish to your sister Alicia from all the way out in San Francisco, CA. And I always get excited when my work has me traveling to our New York office.
So sorry you got scammed! We saw those people when we went to the ferry (I feel like they’re all over NY, especially in Times Square) but we were with a tour guide, so warned us about them. 😢
Oh no! I'm so sorry about the scam ugh I live in Boston, but I'm always surprised at how aggressive new Yorkers are and so ready to take advantage of tourists!!!
Belated Happy Birthday to Alicia.🎂That hotel room was awesome. Even with the scammer it looks like y'all had a great annual trip this year. Thanks for taking us along.
Happy Birthday to Alicia! 🥳 Lovely to see you two had a blast in NYC. I'm loving the aesthetic of that hotel you stayed at; so cool. I'm sorry about the dumb scammer. Keeping my fingers crossed your bank reverses the charge.
Happy birthday Alicia!! what a celebration to have. That hotel looked amazing for something a bit different and special. I was thinking I would love to go to New York but then you said you were scammed, I'm so clueless that would be me. Hopefully you get it sorted with the bank. Please update us 🙂
Happy Birthday Alicia 🎁🎈🎉🎊🎂 Sounded like a Great time together . I hope the bank works the scam charges for you . Thanks for sharing you time in New York ! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Julia, you did a great job of navigating a confusing city ;I was born and raised in manhattan). Do not drive in nyc unless absolutely necessary. It’s a massive ripoff and it’s so much easier to take the subway or a taxi. You’re enterprising and I admire your desire to try new things.
Yikes! I'm sorry that happened Julia! One thing I always tend to remember especially when I went to NYC myself is locals know and take advantage of tourists hopefully you get the charge taken care of!
Hi Julia. I've been away for a couple of days in Manchester, I got back this afternoon. I wish your sister a happy birthday. I am glad you had a good time in New York. I am so sorry you got scammed. I hope you can get your money back. Please do keep us informed on what happens. Great to see Miss Luna as always.
Hey Julia.. I'm sorry you got scammed. Think of this, you had fun in New York, git to be with your sister and your still smiling 😊life teaches many lessons. Be glad the man didn't take your card and run off... your home and safe and that's what matters 😊
Enjoyed your NYC vlog. We have been to NYC at least 15 times in 10 years and it never disappoints. Since you are so close, consider a trip in December to see the decorations. No one does Christmas better than NYC. Our trip consists for the Christmas markets, the tree and usually 2-3 Broadway productions because no one does theatre better than NYC😎
What a nice birthday day vlog. Happy birthday to your sister! I am so much older than you & miss my sister every single day,so keep making these beautiful memories!
Hopefully you get your money back. On a side note, I was listening to the radio a couple of days ago and I heard the #1 name for dogs in the USA was Luna.
Happy Birthday Alicia!! So glad you could have this weekend with your sister, Julia! Other than that unfortunate incident with the parking it looks like you had a great time. People suck sometimes. Please don’t be so hard on yourself. In hindsight it can feel cringy but at the time you were going with the best information you had. And that is nothing to feel bad about because you don’t know what you don’t know. You know? 😉😘
Happy Birthday Alicia! I hope your bank can help you out. That's why I always use cards that I know will fight hard against scammers and catch fraudulent charges too.
I went to NYC for my HS senior trip and it was a blast I could recap the entire thing but I’m just gonna list the key things I did & places I visited - Times Square - Rockefeller Plaza - Central Park - Statue of Liberty (We went on a cruise on some other boat to see it; we didn’t ride the Saton Island Ferry like you did) - MET museum - saw 2 broadway shows (Aladdin and the Lion King) - 9/11 museum & memorial The highlight of this trip: I was going on a tour with my high school fine arts programs. I was in the band & the orchestra went with us and we had a performance at Carneige Hall, the most iconic concert hall in the country first opening back in 1891. I know you couldn’t fit this into your trip but even seeing a concert here should be something on your bucket list. PS: happy birthday to Alicia! Y’all are so lucky to have each other in y’all’s lives ❤
Happy birthday to your sweet sis! I live about an hour from SLC, would love to watch her company of dancers some time. The hotel is beautiful and rather large looking for New York standards, was it extremely costly? We took the Ferry to Miss Liberty several years ago,( got on near Battery Park; I think), she is beautiful!
I’m so sorry you got scammed!! It’s so frustrating people take advantage of sweet people like you. I’m glad you and your sister got to spend time together though ☺️
Julia, yes, people have been living in that hotel for years. It has had a varying reputation over the years. Most recently for its association with punk rock culture and Hollywood personalities staying there. From what I have heard it’s gone over a huge makeover and has moved a lot of the people who actually live there to a different location in the hotel. Several documentaries have been made about this hotel and it’s residence.
Enjoyed visiting NYC with you and your sister. Great that you guys set aside a yearly trip together, how wonderful. Also, thanks for sharing your story of being scammed. Since you payed with your credit card, there is a chance you can have it reversed. Go to the bank if it's a debit card or contact the card company and challenge the payment. I have had some shady charges reversed this way. Anyway, glad you got home to Ms Luna safe and sound 🙂
Wow! What’s unfortunate is there are scammers in New York who make a living ripping unsuspecting tourists off. You should consider reporting that charge as theft because that’s essentially what it was, you should definitely get your money back. You were charged something you didn’t ask for, if you used American Express it should be fairly easy.
Happy Belated Birthday to Alicia! Enjoyed watching your sisters trip to NY!....but sorry that scamming moment put a slight damper on the trip. It such a shame because it was completely not your fault yet I know you probably feel so bad for having it happen to you. It is truly unfortunate these scammers prey on unsuspecting tourists just looking for some help on enjoying their sightseeing trip. Anyways, thank you for sharing your trip with us Julia. Take care!
I remembered the first episode of your vlog that I responded to. It was when you were in NYC and lookiing for places to eat. Boy time has gone fast. We dealt with a pandemic, your furlough,. Your move. My retirement.
Happy 26th Birthday Alicia!! 💐🍩🧁🎂🎉 I'm so happy you spent your birthday with Julia in NYC!! What a beautiful hotel and delicious food!! What a shame that someone took advantage of you, it unfortunately happens all of the time. I hope you get credit for it.🙏 Have a wonderful week Julia!! 😊
My boyfriend lives in Long Island so I've been to NYC a bunch of times. You have to be really careful to scammers. They also have people that pull up to the airport and say they are Ubers so you don't have to wait. They aren't, they will basically hold you hostage until you pay them. Scams are everywhere...hopefully you can get your money back!!
My wife and I traveled last week to NYC with my BIL & SIL. It was my BIL first time. We have been many times before having relatives that live north of the city. The weather was great and a little cold but we walked and subwayed all over the city. Sorry you were scammed but you should be able to dispute that charge. We booked all our 'tours' on line with the venues and we were warned by the carriage ride tour company to NOT talk to any of the people that will ask you if you want a carriage ride in the park because there are a lot of scammers. Also, driving in the city, as you probably found out, is really not necessary. We took the #1 subway down from mid town to South Ferry to get on the boat to the Statue of Libery and Ellis Island. Oh, and as one mention in another post Liberty Bagel is 'the best'! Plus Stage Door Deli down near the World Trade Center is great too!
Happy belated Birthday Alicia! Glad you two had a great time in my hometown New York City! Side note I live about an hour away from the city but I visit the city quite often it's a fun place. Sorry you got scammed New York can be dangerous at time just gotta be careful. When was Alicia's birthday? Mine was March 15 so I was wondering if we had the same birthday.
Glad you got to spend time with your sister in the city. I got to day trip with my sister and my niece. Sorry to hear about you getting scammed, i wondered if that guy was wearing a red vest if so those jokers are the worst when we saw the red vest group we picked up our pace to get past them and somehow all three of us without saying a word thought not good get past them and get to the theater. I hope you’re alright.🤔
Looks like you had a great time and came away with a frustrating story as well -- sorry that happened but yeah, those tour guide dudes are always looking to scam someone. I used to ride the Staten Island Ferry twice a day and it was a great way to start and end your day, so I'm glad you got to take it in the end!
That was a very nice video with your sister. The hotel really looked smart with all the fancy fittings in the bathroom. It's great that you get to spend time together once a year. Have a good weekend. It's always good to see dear Lunar. ❤
OMG!!!!! JULIA!!!! You stayed at...(GASP!!) THE CHELSEA HOTEL?!!!!! That place is FAMOUS!!!! All the artists and music people have stayed there over the years! Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Lenard Cohen. Chelsea Clinton is named after that place. And Joni Mitchell's song Chelsea Morning was written for it. Of course now I realize Julia is young enough to ask..."who is Lenard Cohen, who is Bob Dylan"?! KIDS!!
Happy Birthday Alicia, I hope you and Julia had a good time seeing the Statue of Liberty. I think many people like to scam people especially when you are not from the area. Your right (lesson learned). I've been to see the Statue of Liberty, and it's really cool there. Have a fantastic day
We love the Staten Island Ferry! Great view for free and prefer this over going to the island which I have done before. It’s the best! Great job driving, I do not drive in the city.
As a person who grew up and lives in NY you have to be careful. Those scammers wear red jackets I believe. They are also in midtown NY doing those types of things. Don't let it put a damper on the nice weekend you had with your sister though. Nice to see Luna though!
Hi Julia, What a wonderful hotel! I definitely want to stay there. Glad you were able to put the scammer behind and enjoy the ferry. We got scammed in Paris for a little bit less and had to quickly decide to put it behind us to catch our train to Nice.
Fun Fact, General Douglas MacArthur spent the last decade or so of his life living in the Waldorf Astoria hotel in NYC. He was one of the most important people in the world at the time so having him as a resident really boosted the hotels standing (which was already stratosphereic).

Hey, New York is my Native hometown ❤. Happy Birthday Miss Elisha, hopefully you enjoy your 26th Birthday 🎉🍕🍰🎁
Are you able to dispute the charge with your credit card company?
I called them so let’s hope I can, they started an investigation!
@@JettingJulia Good. I hope they refund you. More folks should do that and lock down those scammers.
I take it you haven’t been paying attention to what been going on in NYC people getting punched and robbed and don’t get me started on the subway 🚇 not even safe they have National Guard protection people don’t forget the people who invaded nyc so stay out of liberal cities like nyc and sf
Hi Julia: former New Yorker here. Why didn’t you take the subway to the ferry? Parking is practically nonexistent in lower Manhattan. I feel so badly about this. Looks like you had a good time otherwise.
Because I made a poor decision and thought I could handle the city with my car 😅🫠 lesson learned!
Parking does exist. I used to do it all the time. However I very strongly do not recommend it for tourists.
Omg, yea, the best thing about NYC is being able to be car free!
@@erigeekaI love driving and hate using public transport in NYC. That's why I live in California which I love!

Love how every year your sister and you go on a trip for her birthday! Happy birthday Alicia!!!

Julia I give you credit for not only driving into Manhattan but also taking the subway....2 things I avoid at all costs...
My aunt knows the person who plays Iago in Aladdin on Broadway! Also, NYC is full of scammers and people scattered around times square and the statue of liberty area trying to sell you tours.

A bunch of famous musicians have lived at that hotel. Bob Dylan lived there.
Joni Mitchell, Lenoard Cohen, Joan Baez. Everyone!
But Julia is probably so young she does not know who they are!
Happy Birthday Alicia! Looks like you and sis had a wonderful time in NYC! ....Such a fun idea to get together every year on your sister's birthday, Julia!
Happy Birthday to your sis! We have ALL been scammed before....live and learn.
I'm glad that you and your sister were able to enjoy time together in NYC.
I live in NYC. I'll be happy to help you on how reserve parking in NYC and getting around in NYC.
Wishing you and your family the best and maybe I'll see you when I'm in the airport somewhere.
I am glad you called your bank regarding the charge from the scammers. The hotel was indeed beautiful. A great video!
You’re human and we all make mistakes. Proud of you for venturing out into a new city and having a great adventure with your sister.
A Very Happy Birthday to Sister Alicia. May the coming year bring you lots of great times and good health.💕

Happy Birthday to Alicia 🎉🍰 You two had a splendid time in NYC, and I loved the hotel room ❤
So sorry you got scammed! We saw those people when we went to the ferry (I feel like they’re all over NY, especially in Times Square) but we were with a tour guide, so warned us about them. 😢
Have you read the serpent and the wings of nignt? It's really good!! And the bonds that tie is SO GOOD, that series is an excellent choice!
Happy Birthday Alicia!!! I hope you had/have a great one !
That's a bummer!!! But props for driving in NYC. I don't think I could do that!
Oh no! I'm so sorry about the scam ugh I live in Boston, but I'm always surprised at how aggressive new Yorkers are and so ready to take advantage of tourists!!!

You need to dispute those charges call your local bank and you can dispute those charges. Sorry that happened to you and your sister.

Happy Birthday Alicia 🎁🎈🎉🎊🎂 Sounded like a Great time together . I hope the bank works the scam charges for you . Thanks for sharing you time in New York ! ❤️❤️❤️
shoutout sibling love! universal studios Orlando is the best , stay at the hard rock... the hotel key is also a fastpass in the parks
It happens ... you are smart to call your bank ...and you had a great time with your sister!
Happy Birthday Alicia🎂😊
Hi Julia, you did a great job of navigating a confusing city ;I was born and raised in manhattan). Do not drive in nyc unless absolutely necessary. It’s a massive ripoff and it’s so much easier to take the subway or a taxi. You’re enterprising and I admire your desire to try new things.
Thanks Julia , superb video , the views and food looked stunning , sorry to hear of the scam though .
Sorry to hear about the scammer. ☹ At least the rest of the trip looked fantastic... and you can never go wrong seeing Aladdin.
Yikes! I'm sorry that happened Julia! One thing I always tend to remember especially when I went to NYC myself is locals know and take advantage of tourists hopefully you get the charge taken care of!

we ❤ NY! happy birthday alicia and hope you had the most amazing time! new york extends its hospitality anytime you want to return!
Orange Julia was landing in Newyork. I would like to see Phillie City.
Luna would love Central Park 😊
Minus the scam hiccup, I'm so glad you both had a beautiful trip!
What a nice birthday day vlog. Happy birthday to your sister! I am so much older than you & miss my sister every single day,so keep making these beautiful memories!
Paris Baguette is a Korean bakery chain. Many of the items look better than they taste.
Hopefully you get your money back. On a side note, I was listening to the radio a couple of days ago and I heard the #1 name for dogs in the USA was Luna.
Happy Birthday Alicia!! So glad you could have this weekend with your sister, Julia! Other than that unfortunate incident with the parking it looks like you had a great time. People suck sometimes. Please don’t be so hard on yourself. In hindsight it can feel cringy but at the time you were going with the best information you had. And that is nothing to feel bad about because you don’t know what you don’t know. You know? 😉😘
Happy Birthday Alicia! I hope your bank can help you out. That's why I always use cards that I know will fight hard against scammers and catch fraudulent charges too.
I went to NYC for my HS senior trip and it was a blast
I could recap the entire thing but I’m just gonna list the key things I did & places I visited
- Times Square
- Rockefeller Plaza
- Central Park
- Statue of Liberty (We went on a cruise on some other boat to see it; we didn’t ride the Saton Island Ferry like you did)
- MET museum
- saw 2 broadway shows (Aladdin and the Lion King)
- 9/11 museum & memorial
The highlight of this trip: I was going on a tour with my high school fine arts programs. I was in the band & the orchestra went with us and we had a performance at Carneige Hall, the most iconic concert hall in the country first opening back in 1891. I know you couldn’t fit this into your trip but even seeing a concert here should be something on your bucket list.
PS: happy birthday to Alicia! Y’all are so lucky to have each other in y’all’s lives ❤
Nice outfit, you have very good taste Julia.
You and your sister should come to Perth Western Australia
Happy 26th birthday, baby sister Alicia!🎉
My wife and I just visited the Met for the first time and it was amazing. Well worth the trip.
Awesome Julia! I love NYC ! Thanks for sharing! Happy Bday to your sister.

Tell your sister happy birthday. So sorry you were scammed. Unfortunately there are people out there who do that.

Happy Birthday Alicia, I hope you and Julia had a good time seeing the Statue of Liberty. I think many people like to scam people especially when you are not from the area. Your right (lesson learned). I've been to see the Statue of Liberty, and it's really cool there. Have a fantastic day

Hi Julia! I’m in Puerto Vallarta Mexico for 2 weeks! Enjoying and sending you sunshine. ❤
Happy birthday Alicia...
Happy bday Alicia from the Netherlands🎉🎉🎉
We love the Staten Island Ferry! Great view for free and prefer this over going to the island which I have done before. It’s the best! Great job driving, I do not drive in the city.
Yes, parking in Manhattan can be troublesome.
As a person who grew up and lives in NY you have to be careful. Those scammers wear red jackets I believe. They are also in midtown NY doing those types of things. Don't let it put a damper on the nice weekend you had with your sister though. Nice to see Luna though!
Videotape everyone. If they say "no", so should we. Great video today. Big apple deserves its name. :) Credit card has advantages over a debit card.
I’m sorry for you. I hate when people get scammed.
Hi Julia, What a wonderful hotel! I definitely want to stay there. Glad you were able to put the scammer behind and enjoy the ferry. We got scammed in Paris for a little bit less and had to quickly decide to put it behind us to catch our train to Nice.
Fun Fact, General Douglas MacArthur spent the last decade or so of his life living in the Waldorf Astoria hotel in NYC. He was one of the most important people in the world at the time so having him as a resident really boosted the hotels standing (which was already stratosphereic).
