Where From To Start


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.

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
.
