Yes been to all these aces this video is a good one to go by
Thank you Jon for showing us the different tourist attractions in NYC. This video will definitely help me if I decide to plan a trip to this beautiful city.
Great vid as always. Have been using you as a source for years now. A lot of this I knew and have tried already (thanks in part to you) but you still teach me new things and give me great new ideas for our next visit.
One of the best 3-day itineraries I have ever seen and so good for first time visitiors especially.
I’ve been to NYC 5 times now since 2019 and still so much I haven’t seen. But so many of your videos made me feel like a pro at seeing great spots and getting around on the subway with city mapper app. Keep up the great work!!!
For real tho, if yall have to come this season, knowing it's cheaper, take your pictures during golden hour so you can get to see some color on this otherwise dead looking environment. Also, make sure you check the weather DAILY. Nyc weather during winter months is notoriously bipolar.
I am planning a trip to NYC in late February. I live in California. Wondering if I should wait until the weather warms up in the Spring or go in late February to avoid some of the crowds and higher costs in the Spring. I don't want to pack a bunch of warm clothes to add weight to my luggage.
bi-annual nyc trip is coming up second half of this month. hyped! your videos are an inspiration!
I dont know why the tonal shift in your voice at 8:52 made me LOL.. Great video though, I can tell I've been watching you for years because I've probably done almost all of the attractions on your list. (not the restaurants.. yet)
I think you nailed it. Can't wait to do this during my next visit
Good job Jon👍👍👍 I love the place!!!!
Awesome video again Jon! So many must do places put in a great itenerary – done most of these over the years! Personally, as well as some great ideas from you videos I always try to make sure to squeeze in Staten Island Ferry/ Brooklyn Bridge walk or I don't feel I've done NYC right 😀🗽
My son & I visited for 3 days in November. We learned so much from your videos! While 3 days isn’t enough, we packed in a ton, using many of your suggestions. Especially getting us over fear of subway. Great food at Sarge’s, Adel’s, Magnolia, John’s of Bleeker, Chinatown, & especially the Nona Maria. We went to the crown, summit OV, RiseNy, 9/11 museum, one world, walked the bridge, Central Park, Staten Island ferry, Roosevelt Island tram, dumbo, Brooklyn, high line, and more. Your videos helped fit so much into the short time we had. I’m still watching them now, after the trip. Thanks so much!!
Where would someone stay the three nights that would make sense based on this varied itinerary?
Just returned to UK following a Twixtmas visit to NYC, can agree Tik-Tok diner is fab (Steak and eggs benedict meant lunch was not necessary!) Also Tria and Georges diners both were superb traditional diners, inexpensive and great value for money!
That’s crazy, I was just watching your 4 days video.
As always Jon, so well put together!
3:49 love seeing the bit of Dutch history there with the 'delicatessen' (Delicacies in English) (or Harlem Meer is another one)
I really loved Carnegie Diner & Cafe
We visited New York in 4 days, we have so bussy schedule, that we tired when we flow to Miami. We will come back and the no schedule. 😉
Love to NYC from Trinidad 🇹🇹❤🌍🇺🇸
40 Bucks for a view?!?! How ridicoulos and expensive!!
Was just in NYC last week (during the absolutely bone chilling cold). Watched a ton of your videos prior to our trip. Key takeaways and highlights:
Citizen M hotel, museum of street art. beautiful, free and no one was there.
Peninsula hotel lobby for Christmas. Beautiful!
Bryant Park Winter Village
9/11 memorial. Didn’t realize it went into the depths. Touching and moving.
Rockefeller center was over rated and SO crowded, as you’ve said.
Things I loved that I didn’t know.
The sculptures next to the Oculus were really cool.
Some broadway rush tickets go on sale Monday for the whole week. I missed the Moulin Rouge tickets because I thought it was day of.
I didn’t know Times Square turns into art exhibit for 3 minutes around midnight every night. Missed this and wish I had known.
The Louis Vittuon baggage building on 6th Ave was really cool. Not sure if it is always there, but was neat.
Thanks for your help! We had a great time!
Thanks for sone good ideas, can you also pinpoint good Mexican places?
Pearl Diner is meh
As a tourist I can vouch that those Bryant park toilets are awesome. Flowers and music❤ in there
I used to live in NYC (2001-2002). Your videos bring up great memories and keep me up to date with my favorite city ❤ Thank you 🙏🏼
Bring very comfortable shoes😂…good video
What great ideas. Thanks
