Last Sunday morning I found myself stranded in Dallas needing desperately to get to New York by Monday morning. My options were very limited and I ended up flying into Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).
I spent the entire 2+ hour flight from Dallas to Philly worrying about how I was going to make it through […]
This past weekend I finally had the opportunity to take the BoltBus (which I have covered extensively here and here) from Boston to New York! I didn’t get one of the “as advertised” $1 fares, mine was $15 due to my lack of planning and having to purchase the ticket as the last minute. […]
New York can be a very daunting city to get to know. There are numerous tour companies that take visitors from tourist attraction-to-tourist attraction. Visitors often spend days in the city and leave without ever seeing anything beyond Times Square and the Statue of Liberty. If you really want to get to […]
Just last month, the BoltBus started service between New York and Washington D.C. and it looks like business has been good for the Greyhound company; next week they will begin service to Boston.
There will be six daily trips between the two cities with departures from New York at 7am, 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm, and […]
It’s Wednesday night and you need a table at the famed French brasserie Balthazar for 2 this Friday. Or perhaps you just got into Manhattan for a trip and you want a table for 4 at the celeb hot spot Nobu. In the often cut-throat restaurant scene in New York, unless your name is Michael […]
If you travel frequently between New York and Washington DC, you have a new transportation option. Boltbus, a division of Greyhound Lines Inc., will begin operating Thursday, March 27, making daily trips between DC and Manhattan.
The new Boltbus will run between Metro Center at 11th and G Street NW in DC and two stops […]
I am always up for adventure in my life. Cliff diving in Mexico, swimming with sharks in Thailand, taking a shoddy ferry across a very turbulent Strait of Gibraltar from Spain to Morocco, and so many more questionable things that I shouldn’t share because my mother reads this site. Last week I […]
The Carnegie Deli is an attraction all on its own. According to the New York Convention and Visitors Bureau it is one of the most visited restaurants in Manhattan. But why? Yes, the pastrami sandwiches are bigger than your head…. but are they really worth the $15 price tag? Or the fact that you […]
Taking a cab in New York City can be a new, and sometimes daunting, experience for travelers to The Big Apple. With just a few pointers, you can be cruising the streets of Manhattan in the back of a taxi in no time.
It always seems that there are never taxis available when you need […]
When flying into New York from an international destination I prefer to fly into Newark International Airport (EWR) as opposed to JFK Airport. The customs and immigration process seems much smoother and faster at Newark and the airport size is more manageable.
AirTran EWR-to-NJ Transit (or PATH): Inexpensive
The AirTrain at Newark International Airport will […]
