Sheraton Times Square

on
May 15, 2026

I stayed at the Sheraton Times Square before and after my New England/Canada cruise out of New York City.  I thought the location was outstanding. It’s walking distance to Times Square, The Theater District, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, and even the port if you’re willing to do it.
I booked…

Holiday Inn Express Wall Street

on
October 30, 2023

Where to stay in New York depends on what your purpose is and how much you want to spend. My first time in New York I found a good deal at The Warwick.

I’m flying out tomorrow so I needed to straighten out my packing. I took care of that before heading out this morning. My hotel has a free breakfast but I bypassed it and just grabbed a coffee to go.

Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO

on
October 23, 2023

Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge was on my list the last time I was in New York. The issue has been I’ve wanted to time it right to be on the other side during sunset. I’ve heard DUMBO (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass) is a great place to be…

Hamilton

on
October 20, 2023

I looked into attending Hamilton the last time I was in New York. It didn’t show any seats available so I picked different shows. It seems I just tried to book too early (six months out) because I checked back closer to my trip and there were plenty of…

Statue of Liberty Crown Tour

on
October 16, 2023

I’ve always wanted to go to the crown of the Statue of Liberty. It was extremely disappointing when I visited New York for the first time last year and the crown was closed due to COVID. I knew I would want to go to the crown on a future…
