New York's shopaholics paradise.

...which stood out was the Woodbury common premium outlets, this was one place I had to go I told my husband. We planned the visit for day six the day before we were due to leave. WOODBURY OUTLETS The Woodbury Outlet Village is located on route 32 in the Central Valley of New York. Its is roughly One hour north of New York City. Woodbury is colonial-style village, and offers the world's biggest selection of designer brands, with around 220 shops ...
...THERE When we visited Woodbury outlet we traveled the hour's journey by coach, the grey line Port Authority which is located in New York City, 42nd Street & Eighth Avenue. We found this very easily by foot but if you are unsure you can take a yellow taxi. This trip cost 32.00 dollars each, this was for transport to and from Woodbury and a shopping package for when we got to Woodbury, within the package we got a Woodbury leather shopping bag and ...

Review of Woodbury Common Premium Outlet

Time to get in a State

Advantages: Amazing views, iconic building
Disadvantages: Queues!!!

...been so I designated the Empire State Building (ESB) as a must see. SOME FACTS: The ESB was built in 1930. At the time it was the world’s tallest building and it is still up there in the tallest buildings list (currently number 15). The ESB is 1472 ft tall (if you include the antenna) and there are 102 floors. LOCATION: Ok so you may have guessed that the ESB is in New York City! It is at 350 5th Avenue and the intersection with 34th Street. Trust ...
...and not go up the Empire State. It really is the most amazing view. Ok so the queues can be unbelievable but it is worth it. Mr Tart was moaning when we were queuing but he was really glad that we’d made the effort to go up in the end. It’s not cheap either, but again I do think it’s worth the cost. ...

Madame Tussauds in New York City....Puts me off London!

Advantages: Get your picture taken with Barack!
Disadvantages: Not worth the money, feels all thrown together

I have never been to Madame Tussauds in London so on my recent trip to New York me and my boyfriend decided the visit the one there as its located at West 42nd Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues, Times Square and we walked past it every day of our trip. We went to the attraction on a Monday and we only had to queue for about 5 minutes to get our tickets, they also have are fast track queues for people who have booked online or had the New York City ...
...following: General admission to Madame Tussauds NY SCREAM Cinema 4D movie featuring Sponge Bob Squarepants Madame Tussauds Story Behind the Scenes On reflection we should have brought the cheaper tickets at $25 as we only saw the waxworks themselves. Once we had our tickets we walked upstairs where we had a picture taken with the Hulk with my boyfriend being captured and me trying to rescue him which was quite funny, we then went in the glass lift ...

Review of Madame Tussauds, New York

Absolutely magical

Advantages: Lots of things to see and do, beautiful park
Disadvantages: Huge park

...clothes we were wrapped in, Central Park covered in snow made you completely forget everything else. It really was so amazing and magical and I was glad of the freezing weather because we got to witness this. We walked through the park from the Downtown side and everything was just completely white. Everywhere kids were playing in the snow and riding in sledges down the hills and it really was truly amazing. Inside the park there are plenty of things ...
...on in the snow; the Central Park Zoo where they keep 130 different species of animals including polar bears; the Bethesda Fountain, which I'm sure you'd recognise from many films and TV programmes; a Hans Christian Anderson statue; an Alice in Wonderland statue which is beautiful and so big that you can climb up and sit on a toadstool yourself; and Belvedere Castle which has some great views of the park and the city. There's a couple of arenas in ...

Review of Central Park

As wonderful as you thought it would be

Advantages: Bright lights, huge signs, hundreds of shops, bars, restaurants, never sleeps
Disadvantages: You won't want to leave

...on TV. Around Times Square there are many things to keep you occupied. In the centre of the Square is TKTS, the discount theatre office, which offers top Broadway show tickets with up to 50% off. You can find out what time the office opens each day on the signs outside but you need to get there early as the queues end up circling round the square. You can climb up the stairs that take you onto the top of the TKTS office to get an even better vantage ...
...the occasional visiting attractions to Times Square - the Naked Cowboy - a hunky and muscley Yank who walks around the Square wearing just a pair of Y fronts and playing his guitar. You get the privilege of having your picture taken with him and he's so funny and nice. He picked me up and pretended to walk away with me while my husband was taking the picture! At night it is an even more amazing sight when all the lights are lit up with hundreds of ...
