This was a great stay and perfect location to all the main attractions. The staff was over the top friendly and helpful. The rooms are very nice even though they’re quite small, but that goes for most rooms in NYC. Will stay here next time!

We had so much fun at the first show that we went again on another day for another show. Moulin Rouge and The Lion King although very different were both fantastic. Must do!

Definitely carve out 2-3 hours for this. You get the option of doing a self tour or guided tour. The guided one is an extra $11.00 charge that comes with headphones and you follow along with Robert De Niro’s voice. My husband chose not to and I paid ...
9/11 Memorial & Museum
Depending on what time of the year you visit try to catch a game or concert. It has such a rich history and it’s fun to walk around and see it all. We were able to catch a Chris Stapleton concert and it was such a great experience.
Madison Square Garden
Chinatown was totally fun just to walk around and take it all in. There are countless options on where to eat and little shops.

This was all such a fun vibe. There are people trying to get you to into their place to eat left and right. We randomly chose Benito One and it was so delicious. It felt like going back in time to an old school Italian restaurant. Great food and grea...

Central Park was a must and it was great to just walk around. For such a busy and loud city it’s so calm here. We were there on a hot day, but there were many options for cold drinks and snacks around. Wear your most comfy sneakers!
Central Park
This is an iconic comedy club that many famous faces have been in and out of. They go down the line and take your phone and seal them in an envelope so make any needed calls or messages beforehand. Then they let you in and you can open it after the s...

This is right next to the Hard Rock Hotel. The pizza is so good and the service is great!

This is also next to the Hard Rock Hotel. We tried several things and all so yummy. It’s great for a late night dessert. They’re open until 3AM every day. Try a Reese’s Sundae Dasher!

This is a must!! You will more than likely be in line for an hour plus so plan accordingly. It seems crazy to wait, but it’s worth it. The entertainment was top notch and we chose breakfast food and it was all really good.
Ellen's Stardust Diner
We were sent here from another place that had stopped serving food and ended up going back again. All of the empanadas were seriously so good. (So many options) If you are a fan of chicharrones these are the BEST.

You obviously have to take a walk around Times Square for the sights and the sounds. There is a lot going on and lots of fun shops to pick up some cute souvenirs. Comfy shoes are a must!
Times Square
We used the subway and it was good. No problems just know where you are going so you don’t miss your stop. This app should help!
New York City Subway
We had lots of problems flying out of NYC so we ended up taking a train to Philly and it was actually pretty great. First time so didn’t know what to expect. Just an option if you get stuck in a tough spot trying to get back home.
