    We're going to New York in May 2024 and I've watched a lot of videos online about New York, just now I saw your videos, I watched some videos from your channel and it feels like friends talking,i love it ...I just watched your wedding video and it felt so full of happiness and sweetness. Lately, I've been quite reluctant to get married; as they often say in Chinese nowadays, fear of getting married. But watching your video made me feel that marriage can indeed be a very happiness thing. So, I really appreciate you sharing your video.😀😀😘

    You saw a good amount for one trip in NYC! As a local, I always warn people that you will not be able to see everything in one trip… or two… or three even. 😅 Hey, I still haven’t even been to the Edge or done a helicopter tour. The city can be overwhelming if you try to do too much so I recommend you pick a few things that are scattered about so you can spend a day in different parts of the city including boroughs other than Manhattan. Leave time in your schedule to be spontaneous or spend more time in a place you like. Depending on how much of it you wanted to see or how many things you’d wanted to do, you could easily spend a whole 3 days in central park alone and still not see everything in it!! I agree that the NY Pass seems like a good deal especially if you want to do general touristy things but still see a decent amount of the city… but after that I’d try to avoid doing too many of those things because they don’t really give you a feel for what the city’s really like as the activities included are tourist activities in touristy areas… areas which locals generally try to avoid. 😅

    • @SofiaAbrantes
      @SofiaAbrantes  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I agree with this 100%. It's my 7th time in the city and I STILL feel like I have so so much left to see. It's the first time I've gone with an "adult" budget, the previous times I went as a college student and stayed in hostels etc, so it definitely felt good to finally be able to afford all the touristy stuff. But on our next visit, we're definitely planning on doing a lot more "local" stuff.

Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Your video and commentary were informative, and engaging, and showcased the vibrant spirit of New York City.

    Great video! I'm impressed at how much you did on your trip. The helicopter ride looked incredible so I'm going to book that when I'm in NYC again next April. I wish you would have eaten out more because NYC has the BEST food!! & BTW- I went to Lisbon last year for the first time and loved it!! One of my favorite places I've ever been. Looking forward to seeing more of your travels!

    • @SofiaAbrantes

      You’re going to love the helicopter ride 😍 and honestly I wish we would have eaten out more too, it was a budget decision unfortunately. We were always the kind of people that thought these trips were out of our budget so we found ways to make them happen (ramen for the win 😂).

    Another nice activity to do during sunset is to have a picnic in Island Park, which offers a nice view over the Hudson River and the One World Trade Center. Plus it has amazing architecture and it’s looked near an entrance to the elevated park called the High Line where you walk through the buildings. Both activities are free.

      @@pau465 Hi! We only got a 4 day pass because there are a few things (like Summit One Vanderbuilt) that are not included so we thought having 4 day pass would be enough and then we could fill the other days with other things! I would definitely recommend that, especially because exploring central park alone can take you a whole day. I believe we paid $450 for us both for the 4 days, which was VERY worth it

    Thanks. Liked most of your exploring. Cool to see a number of the observatories.
    Which of the sunset cruises did you do? Helicopter was very cool!
    Would have added going into the main public library on the end of Bryant Park. It’s free. The building is stunning and they have an exhibition (Treasures) of some of the interesting items in their collection on the main floor. The Transit Museum in Brooklyn not far from DUMBO would have been an interesting addition there as well.
    Would NOT have gone to the wax museum. With all of the other museums in the city to pick on a rainy day, that will never be on my list. Other choices- Metropolitan Museum, Morgan Library, American Museum of Natural History, and so many more.

      Thank you! We did the Circle Line sunset cruise (listed in my description). I didn't go to Bryant Park public library this time as I'd already been a handful of times, but it's a great recommendation 😊
      As for the wax museum: honestly it was just an immediate rain escape type of thing (it started pouring and we were right next to it and it was free with our pass, so we did to pass some time). I agree with you though, and have also visited most of the ones you mentioned on previous trips!

      You'll love it! Biggest tip: avoid the elevators at rush hours, they take a while sometimes. For example if you can, leave your room around 8:30am instead of 9:30am and you'll wait a lot less.

    • @SofiaAbrantes
      @SofiaAbrantes  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You're very welcome! It's very easy to go from JFK to NYC (near Times Square, for example). You basically take the Air Train at JFK (red line, you can get on it right outside the airport and there are signs everywhere) and switch once at Jamaica Station, onto the E line direction World Trade Center. If you use google maps (download the map area offline for easier use within the subway) it'll help out. CityMapper is also great for navigating the system. Hope this helps, have the best time!!

    • @SofiaAbrantes
      @SofiaAbrantes  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you so much 🥰 so every activity that needs to be booked in advance will say so on its activity page in the app. I believe it was Empire State, The Ride, and the sunset cruise. And I remember booking about 3 weeks in advance or so. Hope this helps!

  • @homewithese
    @homewithese 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hi. This is such an informative video. Thank you so much.
    Please did you get the NY pass before arriving and did you have to prebook the activities. If yes how long in advance. I’m travelling in a month and your video is perfect. Thanks again

    • @SofiaAbrantes
      @SofiaAbrantes  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You're very welcome! Glad it helped.
      I purchased them before arriving, as they only activate the time period (for example, the four days) the first time you check in to one activity (so keep this in mind). We had to prebook some, and not others. Each individual activity (both on the website and on the app) will tell you what you need to do beforehand. Some require reservations (cruise, Empire State, The Ride, just to name some) and others don't.
      Reserving or pre-booking will not activate your pass, so feel free to reserve everything you want ahead of time without worries. Keep in mind some do charge "no-show" fees if you book and don't show (The Ride, for example). Hope this helps

    • @SofiaAbrantes
      @SofiaAbrantes  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes! So you do go onto the island, but it doesn't include entrance to the TOP of the statue itself (Lady Liberty). You can walk and see her from up close, like we did, but there's also a separate option to go INSIDE the statue and that you have to pay extra for. That's what they mean with this: "*Does not include entry to pedestal or crown levels inside Statue of Liberty - must be purchased separately." Hope this helps and have a fantastic trip 🤩

      First thing in the morning! It's big enough that people spread out, and they do limit the spots, so it's always smart to buy tickets ahead of time. I've heard it's beautiful at sunset/night, but can get super crowded.

      To be completely honest, not always - there were definitely some times that I got very nervous. A lot of homelessness and a lot of people on drugs/high/drunk. I would avoid it in the evenings, overall during the busier periods it wasn't too bad, but not sunshine and rainbows either.

    • @SofiaAbrantes
      @SofiaAbrantes  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Jo! I'd love to be able to help out, but could it be that it's a seasonal thing? We had absolutely no issues pre-booking anything when we went in April, but I'm wondering whether Christmas tourism could be the issue. A lot of the bookings are just to let them know you're coming (ex. empire state), but some I know do sell out overall (ex. The Ride, we were warned we'd have to book ahead). On each page of the activities that are part of the pass, it'll tell you pre-booking procedures. Maybe check out availability on those booking pages before buying? Sorry that I couldn't be any more help though.
      PS - Absolutely no pressure, but if you do buy the pass and you do it through my link in the description I get a little commission at no extra cost to you. But again, only if it ends up feeling right for you! Have a great trip 🥰

      Nope! I actually found May to be perfect because it was nice out but not sweltering hot. I’ve done NYC in the summer and the heat and humidity made it a miserable experience. Honestly, so much in NYC can still be done with a bit of rain (think broadway, observation decks, etc). We only had two days of drizzle of the 8 days. I highly recommend May, if I had to go back it’s the month I’d pick again. Have the best time 😍

      Sometimes they do change the available attractions! The one we took was by Circle Line, and at the moment I can only find this one on their page: "Best of NYC Cruise by Circle Line" which I don't believe is at sunset. It could be the sun sets too late at the moment for them to be running that one? 🤔 That would be pretty sad.
      On the flipside, I see they include Yankees tickets as part of the package now which they didn't have before, how fun!
