Taking a bite out of the Big Apple

I’m marking a virtual map of “places I’ve been” or “intend to travel,” and not having ever visited New York is a vacation crime. My closest encounter was an extended layover in Newark, with a sunny day view of the massive skyline. I suppose it’s never been top of my list of travel destinations (those are usually Boston and Seattle, again both to which I haven’t been).

Having a few friends now living in the city (or a train ride away), I need to fit this trip into my travel calendar. I used to have extended family in Brooklyn too — but for whatever reason, we were never invited to reunions and such. I know, some people tell me it’s expensive and overrated, but I don’t hear that from my friends who live there (only that wearing heels in New York, a ‘la Sex in the City is wholly insensible).

Regularly, I see cheap flights (usually on a last-minute basis) so it is not like the trip would be a complete New York City breaks my bank account sort of adventure.

Do you have a travel bucket list too? While I know there is much to do in NYC, I truly want to see the Statue of Liberty. She fascinates me. Perhaps that is just my statue fetish.

    I went to NY last summer, did a bunch of touristy stuff and felt like I missed out on the stuff that’s really worth seeing. So I’m going back in April (taking Amtrak from CLE – I know, ridiculous, who does that?) and visiting all the places where a local would actually want to go.

    I went for the first time a little over a year ago and I loved it. Minus the whole walking everydamnwhere, and the guy who flew me up not even making a move. Digressing.

    I went to MoMA and Madame Toussauds. I also ate at Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hydes. That was fun. I went for a weekend and I definitely want to go back for at least a week.
