1I think best way to start your New York is from your Hotel . Some people look for recordable hotel and others look for cheap hotel . Best tip is do not go for from time square just for cheap hotel . Some time people get their hotels for from main town and they end up spending their major time on roads. There are plenty of hotels near by main city , which are affordable . So By paying little extra you can save your time and money on road . Suppose you are spending 30-40 $ less on hotel, but pay more on cabs and buses same time if you get stuck in New York,s typical traffic , your whole day is gone . So its always wise to choose hotel more carefully .
2.Once You have finalized your hotel , then just buy New York city pass . You must be wondering , what is this and why I am advertising these passes . These proved very useful and money saving tool for me . When I bough it I thought that I got robbed , but later in the day I found that this pass made my trip real fun . Once You have planned your trip and you have this pass, you can see whole new York in four day , spending less money . As I said I bought these passes , We were four so I bought four passes . Each pass provides you free entry to about 70 attractions plus free bus ride . But negative side of this pass is that this pass is valid for only 48 hours . You can choose for 3 days pass as well paying little extra . Though it not possible to see all these 70 attractions, but still you can see lot in these two days without getting tired . You can buy your pass on-line and get it delivered at home or if you do not have sufficient time then you can collect it from
Gray Line New York Visitor Center
777 8th Ave (between 47th & 48th St.)
NY 10036
3 The time you collect you pass, from the same place you will get you bus.Its double decker bus and its open means no roof . So you get chance to sit on the top . Start your trip bit early . This bus will take you through town and guide will explain you about various attraction . I just got down at Empire state building and On this pass I got free entry. In the building one girl told me to go for sky drive . Its three D film , which give you a real feeling of new York . My Kids liked this attraction very much . After that we went to the top of empire state building .By the time I was able to save about $ 50 from this pass.777 8th Ave (between 47th & 48th St.)
NY 10036
4 IT took us almost 2 hours to completely see this empire state building. Then We decided to go for statue of liberty .So again double decker hip hop bus was there and we got another ride for free. We got down at 9/11 memorial the we went to battery park . From there I took ferry to statue of liberty .It took another three hours and my pass saved about $ 15 . This ferry trip covered two attractions . It was amazing ferry trip
5.We took bus and came back and got down at 78 pier , where from we took 3 hours cruise , city line cruise , which was wonder full .We had our supper on this cruise and this took a complete round of the city . Now It was getting dark and city lights started coming out . City was looking wonderful . With this guide shows all the 20 bridges of the New York .This was free on pass so I saved $ 30
6.We came back and then we went to top of the rock and again at night city looked so erotic . But again line were so long and took about 2 hours to complete this attraction .We came down and then went to times square at about 10 Pm . Times square gets young at night , beautiful colour full nights .Kids were tired by now and we had ice cream at the time square and we came back to our room . Never choose resterorant just in from the rockefeller building . I do not remember the name , but was deep between Lego and rockfeller building . They robbed us for about $200 for pigeon,s droppings. Yes This eating place was awful . Pigeon were all around .So Never go there .
7 Next day we started with Madam Tusade museum and just next door another attraction believe or not > Its wonderful if you have kids with you . Another thing , if you are from Canada and you are missing Tim hortan , just opposite ti it there is times .
Then We decided to walk to intrepid US Navy Museum .Its one of the best museum I have seen .This has different kinds of war plane Another unique attraction of Enterprise space shuttle .My Kids got overwhelmed and excited by seeing this space shuttle . Our pass gave us a VIP entry, so we finished this mega ship in four hours
8. Now we thinking what to do , then my son draw my attention towards water taxi , it was again free so we took ride of this water taxi for 90 minutes . It was fun again .
9 It was evening again and then we decided to take another cruise , which was for three hours and we got hot dog free on this cruise .
So these passes made our life easy . I would have never enjoyed my trip this much if I have to spend every time on entry passes that too after standing in line four hours
