New York travel blogging

Day 5 and 6 in New York

May 1, 2017.  Day 5:  On the last day of our trip, we packed up and waved good-bye to the hotel that housed us for the last four nights.  It was a bittersweet moment because New York had been so fun but it was time to go home.  We looked up our route and because we wanted to stop in Flushing before we headed to the airport for our late afternoon flight.

New York in Spring 2017 Day 3: Broadway, Best Cheesecake, Carlo’s Bakery

Two friends had told me about the discounted musical tickets available at TKTS.  This ticket merchant sold heavily Continue reading →
