Thoroughly enjoyed the vlog almost as much as the actual day. P and C are exactly same in "real life" as on TH-cam. I am very thankful that they took a chance on meeting a crazy NY'er and started a wonderful friendship. It's always good to catch some guest appearances by June too.
I envy you Kevin! I think it’s fabulous that you hosted them while they were there. You were so lucky to be able to do that! I’m so glad that they’re down to earth and just as nice in person as they are in their videos. I hope I get to meet them on my travels somewhere someday ❤
That was absolutely amazing. The tribute to 911 brought tears to my eyes. I get up about 45 minutes from NYC and haven't been back since 1997. Someday I'll get back to see the memorial. New York is like no other city!
Hey both. Really enjoyed this, what a day with plenty of laughs. Hotel looked perfect for what was needed. Wow 911 place, those telephone calls must of been something else. That pizza made me hungry. Just two things could I have name of that sushi place and the beer in Irish bar again carol? I didn’t quite get it?😁
So glad you had such a wonderful time in NYC! It's one of our favorite places in the world!! We try to make it there at least once a year, and it's where we got married!
Wow, fantastic 1990 photo of you, Carole. Wonderful! On a different note, I visited the 911 memorial in Jan 2019. I found it incredibly sad and moving but also a beautiful tribute to those who were lost.
Thanks for this New York vlog. It reminded me of when we (myself, my daughter and her partner, and her 2 daughters) went for a long weekend in 2002, after 911. We went to ground zero when it was still being cleared. It still had many of the missing posters up. It was heartbreaking to see. I am hoping to go back one day and see it again. On a lighter note - O M G the size of the portions served absolutely knocked us for six. In the hope of getting just a light meal, I asked for a bowl of soup. As I was facing the entry for the kitchens, my heart sank. "Please tell me this is not what I think it is!" Walking towards me was the waitress holding - I kid you not - a bowl the size of a washing up bowl! It has gone down as the legendary bowl of soup. We took the ferry to actually go to Ellis Island to see the Statue of Liberty close up and the museum there. My memory of Times Square was visiting a McDonald's in the land of McDonald's. When I made sure we already had our food, I asked to see the manager and had to tell her that their toilet facilities were absolutely disgusting!!! I was totally gobsmacked at the state of them. We loved our time in New York and I found the locals very friendly and happy to chat. Looking forward to your next episode. Cheers for now.
What a fun day you had! I’m so glad that you enjoyed New York City. And how fabulous that Kevin came to show you around! It’s a busy hustling city like nowhere else. ❤
Agree the 9/11 memorial is somewhere everyone should visit if they have the opportunity. Very emotional and thought provoking. My daughter and I visited New York in Nov 22 incl memorial. We loved the Yeungling beer.😊
Thank you Paul and Carole we fully understand how you felt at Ground Zero we went in 2019 and we found it extremely emotional. You are both right it must never be forgotten 😢.
This is incredibly helpful! Both of my younger teenagers badly want to visit NYC, but I haven't been there in over 25 years, and feel a little intimidated.
Excellent part one vblog of your NYC stay. Your hotel room looks great. Your camera work is superb! Fantastic commentary and footage of the sites and the getting around. I have been to NYC many times and am returning in April 2024 to embark an eastbound Atlantic 14 day cruise to Southampton with Norwegian Getaway from the Manhattan Cruise terminal. I will be staying in one of the Doubletree Hotels close by and spending (or wasting) my evenings in the gay bars and clubs with locals as I have seen most of the tourist spots already. Looking forward to part 2.
Great that Kevin met and took you around! The wall around Battery Park was built to help with flooding storm surges. And good help is still hard to find.😂 I’m with Paul-2 pieces of pizza is not enough! Great filming with the insta360 and editing! I can’t imagine being in Time Square on New Year’s Eve…
Yes so great to spend time with Kevin. Times Square was definitely too busy for us. New York pizza is just so good, would definitely go back just for that! 🤣
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦. What a wonderful vlog. The respect you showed for the 911 memorial was commendable, I couldn’t hold back my tears. Then you had my mouthwatering, wishing I was enjoying a New York pizza. Thank you, can’t wait for the next tour !! One day I hope I will visit Broadway and watch a musical 🎶.
I visited New York when I was 17, which is over 40 years ago, so I must visit again soon. Thank you for your excellent vlog. The 911 Memorial is also on my list to visit. You did a beautiful job filming your trip.The pizza looks divine also.
Thank you for the serious and thoughtful review of the 911 exhibit Paul you are TOTALLY right this needs to be remembered so that it doesn’t happen again and we need to find peace so this stops happening in other parts of the world ❤
What a wonderful vlog, and wow, you fit so much in on your first full day! How lovely that Kevin showed you around his city. I`m from western Canada and I happened to be home on 9/11 and saw all the events unfold in real time; it still gives me chills and I can`t watch anything about it without crying. I can`t imagine the families of the victims having to live with all that. I`m glad you chose to do other things after seeing the memorial rather than that being the end of your day.
Kevin was such good company, and we are glad we started at the memorial and did fun stuff after. So glad we visited the 9/11 memorial, very emotional, just so sad, but definitely worth a visit.
Greats pics of New York!!! There are so many great restaurants to try. We enjoy the Law and Order shows too and we are looking forward to the new spin off Law and Order Toronto: Criminal Intent.
Just settling in to start reading your NY and Cunard TA vlog and I am so excited to read about everything you did! It was great to have kevinb as a guide too! Will have to think very hard to see about doing this very trip!
You did well with your hotel How did you choose it? Did Dan give you any suggestions. You had some great views from you hotel❤. King King never showed up darn

It was an absolute pleasure to meet you, June says hi too! 🤣🤣

Growing up in NYC in the 60s the cost of a subway ride was a 10cent token
Oh wow gone up a little bit! 🤣
I remember those days. I went to elementary school in Brooklyn & Queens. My family moved to NJ in 1965.
That was absolutely amazing. The tribute to 911 brought tears to my eyes. I get up about 45 minutes from NYC and haven't been back since 1997. Someday I'll get back to see the memorial.
New York is like no other city!
Thanks Susan it’s a very difficult subject to discuss but I think we did it justice.
Spell check...I grew up 45 minutes from the City. You did a beautiful job. ❤️
Thanks so much!
It was lovely to see photos of you in your Nursing days, I don't think we could get a free ferry in the UK
Thanks Andrea! Exactly, so good that it is free for all the commuters and tourists!
Carole, you're such a lovely soul! I keep watching 11:02 through 11:05 just to hear you repeat, "A Canaan Sushi", in the most adorable way! 😀🥰
Lol thank you! 😊
Best city in the world.
It is fabulous!
I grew up in Brooklyn in the sixties. I had the best childhood 😊
Hey both. Really enjoyed this, what a day with plenty of laughs.
Hotel looked perfect for what was needed. Wow 911 place, those telephone calls must of been something else.
That pizza made me hungry.
Just two things could I have name of that sushi place and the beer in Irish bar again carol? I didn’t quite get it?😁
Lol no! 🤣 Thanks for watching, we had such a fun time, such a great city, we definitely need to go back!
The sunrise was very cool.
Thanks it justifies Carole getting up so early, i of course stayed in bed 🤣🤣
So glad you had such a wonderful time in NYC! It's one of our favorite places in the world!! We try to make it there at least once a year, and it's where we got married!
We did have such a fantastic time, and to get married there must have been wonderful! We would love to return every year too!
Wow, fantastic 1990 photo of you, Carole. Wonderful! On a different note, I visited the 911 memorial in Jan 2019. I found it incredibly sad and moving but also a beautiful tribute to those who were lost.
Thanks Audrey, great memories!
Lots if the NYC pizzeria were mafia run and are very good.
Kevin was so gracious to show you around.
He was an absolute star, we didn’t find any horses heads in our beds so we are assuming we chose wisely 🤣🤣
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel its ok, you are friends of mine, so safe
It was my great fortune to be able to spend time with them.
That’s good to know 😊

Portions are crazy! Glad we missed those toilets! So many fabulous memories you have too!
What a fun day you had! I’m so glad that you enjoyed New York City. And how fabulous that Kevin came to show you around! It’s a busy hustling city like nowhere else. ❤
We did and Kevin was such great company! It is such a fantastic city!
Agree the 9/11 memorial is somewhere everyone should visit if they have the opportunity. Very emotional and thought provoking. My daughter and I visited New York in Nov 22 incl memorial. We loved the Yeungling beer.😊
Agree everybody should!
We visited New York for a week last August as part of our Washington-New York-Toronto holiday. It was awesome x
It is such a fabulous city!
It’s true about New York City water making the pizza crust extra tasty. NYC water is delicious, coming from the Ashokan Reservoir in upstate New York.
Oh ok, it was just so good!
Thank you Paul and Carole we fully understand how you felt at Ground Zero we went in 2019 and we found it extremely emotional. You are both right it must never be forgotten 😢.
So emotional but so worth it!
Hello you two. Great video. Makes me excited to see New York again soon.!
- Brad from Toronto ❤
Hi Brad, thanks so much! It is such a great city!
This is incredibly helpful! Both of my younger teenagers badly want to visit NYC, but I haven't been there in over 25 years, and feel a little intimidated.
Great to hear it's helpful! 😃
Fantastic vlog as always - love Paul's 360 shots. Shed a few tears at the 911 museum. You have left me craving pizza !!!
Thanks Barbara! The pizza was so good!
Great tips! Looking forward to part 2! Makes us want to go back to NY, thanks again for great content 😍
Thank you! We want to go back too!

Thanks , glad you enjoyed it, have a great cruise 😊
I love your cruise ship story. I too worked on cruise ships in the 1990’s in the shops. And as a cruise staff host on Celebrity. Such great times!
Oh really! That was a fun time, worked hard, partied hard lol! Which ships were you on?
Carnival, Costa, NCL, Celebrity and Regency (now defunct)@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel

"Black Box" Halcyon days!
Yep the good old days!
That’s a huge room for NYC!
Also, looks like you had a carrot & green squash in the tempura 😋
Oh thanks not used to green squash lol! 🤣
It was great for our 7 night stay!

Your welcome, great to hear you enjoyed it! The Pizza in New York is just so good!
Looks amazing and very easy to get around

Thanks Catherine, great to hear!
Brilliant
Thanks Linda! 😀
Very helpful advice!
Thanks Cheri!
The water in New York all comes from Ontario Canada
Oh ok!
Just settling in to start reading your NY and Cunard TA vlog and I am so excited to read about everything you did! It was great to have kevinb as a guide too! Will have to think very hard to see about doing this very trip!
It was so good to meet Kevin, we loved our time in New York!
Greetings from Canada. Well done. I wish I could go to New York. Also 911 is my birthday.
Hi Cheryl thanks, 9/11 is our neices birthday too!
Love the time lapse footages!
Thank you!
You did well with your hotel How did you choose it? Did Dan give you any suggestions. You had some great views from you hotel❤. King King never showed up darn
Yes Dan gave us the recommendation! Lol thankfully King Kong didn't show up! 🤣🤣
Couldn’t make it through your footage of the memorial without crying - going to need a few more decades a distance before visiting the actual site 🥲
Understand that! It was such an emotional experience.
It took me 22 years and 3 Brits to get me there and I am a born and raised NYC guy.
Same. My cousin's brother in law is one of those who perished there. His name is inscribed on the footprint.
I remember as it was happening...my neighbor's son worked in the second tower and decided to get out even though they made announcements for people to stay in their offices. He wanted to help a woman who had just returned from maternity leave to evacuate the building but she refused. He survived but she sadly didn't. ...so many sad stories.
