Advantages: Fabulous shopping, bargains, great sights Disadvantages: You will be tired and have foot pain at the end of the trip
Ever since I was a teenager I had always wanted to go to NewYork City. It was probably the influence of TV shows such as Friends and Will & Grace but since then I've always wanted to see what life in the big apple was like.
There's the shopping (my number one priority!), the sights, the shows, the food, the list is endless.
I was nearly 25 when I finally made it over there, as part of a family trip with my mum, dad and sister.
I'd never been on an aeroplane for longer than two hours before, and I'm quite a nervous flyer, but the seven hours on Continental Flight CO21 from Manchester to Newark, New Jersey absolutely flew by (pardon the pun)!
Other friends and colleagues who had travelled to America previously had said about the lines at immigration so as soon as we landed everyone was ready and we walked as fast as we ...

Advantages: delicious cheesecake, very easy to prepare, success every time, short time to prepare Disadvantages: takes ages to cool down, best done night before serving
cook, her cheesecake was always a delight, despite using a lot of ingredients I don?t bother with, nor do I have the time to bake a very intricate cheese cake. I never had the time to follow her recipes and tend to take the easy way out.
Dr. Oetker are a brilliant when it comes to quick and easy to prepare cake mixes, however, the NewYork style cheesecake is not what I call a last minute treat. It does take only a short time to prepare but the baking and cooling down time in the oven and then further cooling in the fridge take up the best part of 6 hours (three hours in the fridge you don?t really need to supervise and time).
NewYork Style baked Cheesecake mix
I?ve been using this cheesecake mix for quite a while now and it always turns out absolutely brilliant. I suggest you don?t prepare it last minute but maybe the day before ...
Advantages: A lot to see & do, has something to offer for everyone Disadvantages: Too much to see and do, can be exhausting, expensive hotels

Prelude
We have been talking about visiting NYC for many years now and we finally got a chance to see it when we took a family trip to the USA. We decided to first go to my sister in Ohio and spend a few days there. After this we would go to NYC and then go home to Norway from there.
Like most others we felt that we knew the city a bit even if we hadn't been there before. After all, the city is portrayed in so many movies and TV series, it sort ...
