Postcards From New York City
Welcome back to the Postcards From series, and today, let's dive into the iconic city that never sleeps – New York City! Fresh from my birthday trip last year, I had the pleasure of experiencing "The Big Apple" both as a seasoned visitor and alongside a first-timer (Hi, Dan!). As always, in this series, we keep things short, sweet, and to the point, so let's get started.
Why Visit?
With its easy accessibility from North East Ohio, New York City is an ideal destination for a long weekend adventure. Whether it's the bustling Times Square, the captivating Broadway shows, the historical Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty, the renowned Metropolitan Museum of Art, or the diverse food scene, the city offers a plethora of must-dos and off-the-beaten-path experiences, ensuring there's something new to discover with each visit.
What to Do
In addition to the typical attractions, consider exploring some fresh options. Governors Island, Smorgasburg, Time Out Market Dumbo, and Jane's Carousel offer unique experiences that showcase the city's diversity and vibrancy. Governors Island provides a tranquil escape, Smorgasburg introduces you to an array of delectable eats, Time Out Market Dumbo is a haven for foodies, and Jane's Carousel offers a nostalgic ride with stunning views.
Where to Stay
For a first-time visit, I recommend the Baccarat Hotel New York for its central location and undeniable charm. As a Virtuoso property, the Baccarat boasts 114 rooms with a sophisticated ambiance that seamlessly blends contemporary Manhattan with a classically elegant Parisian feel. It's an inspiring and enchanting base for your New York City adventure.
*Insider Tip:* Channel your inner Carrie Bradshaw and sip on a cosmopolitan at the legendary bar in the Baccarat, which was also featured in the latest spin-off series.
This glimpse into the Big Apple is sure to have you eager for your own adventure. Whether you're planning a trip with friends or family, consider a long weekend, perhaps in the spring? At Clemente Travels, we specialize in curating custom experiences for your time in New York City.
