This is just one long promotional video.... Thanks for all the promo codes

I'm not sure what to trust as everything/everywhere she suggested was being promoted.

The salary culture needs to change, it's crazy to count on the customers to pay the servers. This should be up to the owners like it is in every other country, tips are ment to be only for good service

You can't go in the reading room in the National public library now, except if you're there to study.

I have to tip 10% sometimes and wish I could tip more but there is times where I just had enough to get my self a treat and it’s hard tipping 20%. But I also hate not tipping so I atleast try to do the minimum :(

19:40 Just came back from NY 3 day trip.
I couldn't agree more. We went to the liberty island and it was big waste of time. You are too close to Statue of Liberty to get any good angle for a photo. Best pictures we took were on the way to and from, on the boat...🤣
We skipped lot of the plans because last week was just too hot to walk around...🥵

I’m coming to NYC in June and staying in Brooklyn. Can you do a video about how to get from Terminal 5 to the Uber stand? I’ve watched loads of videos. But they’re all about how to get from JFK to Manhattan

Can you help me with getting around with a medical stroller? Taxi seems like the best option for a lot of things.

Just got back from a 3-day NYC trip, and thanks to watching your videos, we had a fantastic experience! We ended up getting Broadway tix from one of your recommendations, and my granddaughter got a 4th row seat for $49. Subway was a breeze and allowed us to go everywhere in minutes. Took the Staten Island Ferry, too, and were pleasantly impressed. Really appreciated the wealth of information you provide, and had a blast in NYC. Many thanks!

Welcome to New York! Your tour starts now. Since we only have 6.5 hours, we are going to travel to the city centre in a private car. It is the fastest way to see the sights without wasting time."

Guida 2: "Our first stop is the famous Grand Central Terminal. After that, we are going to walk through the bright lights of Times Square and visit Rockefeller Center. You will also see the Empire State Building from our car for some great photos."

Guida 1: "At 12:15 p.m., it is time for a break. We are going to buy a classic New York Deli sandwich. We will eat it at Bethesda Terrace in Central Park, so you can enjoy the nature in the middle of the city."

Guida 2: "Finally, we must leave Manhattan at 2:00 p.m. sharp. New York traffic is very busy, and we want to get you back to the airport by 3:30 p.m. for your flight."

Can you please help me design a 3 days sightseeing package along with accommodation and preferably airport transfers too

Superb video as always. But do you not waste a lot of food. You only seem to eat a tiny mouthful from each dish. Seems a waste. Do you do the American thing and get it bagged up. I appreciate you showing us the dishes but it does seem like a lot is left over. I must say the Fraunces Tavern looks lovely. Been to NYC from England 10 times but never tried this restaurant. For America those Fish & Chips looked half decent.
