Ah, New York City – the city that never sleeps, and for good reason. The hustle and bustle of this vibrant metropolis are unparalleled, and there’s no better way to take in the sights and sounds than by visiting the rooftop views in New York City.

To that end, we purchased one of those city passes with, I think, five events. It turns out that the rooftops tend to be…

Best NYC Tours worth paying for
There are many NYC Tours, but most don’t get your money’s worth. Here are some of the best of the best. That might surprise you to learn from this discussion that I’m not crazy about tours; in general, I find them overly crowded, and I hate standing around through the various lecture, which can sometimes last a long time. However, the ones that I will suggest here are the exception to the rule.

Top things when it’s a Rainy Day in NYC
My Favourite Three Things on a Rainy Day in NYC The truth is that when it’s raining, and we want to go out, we often end up at the Met.

Bagels from New York City (NYC) and Montreal are distinct and have notable…

So, put on your walking shoes, bring your appetite, and join me in the sights, sounds, and flavours of this captivating part of New York City. A few weekends ago, we headed over…
