New York Sightseeing Trip

In February this year we spent an amazing few days in New York City We flew with Virgin Atlantic out of Manchester and stayed at the stunning art deco designed New Yorker Hotel. We found the location to be perfect for us really close to Times Square and surrounded by amazing restaurants and shopping! We had a jam packed itinerary and made the most of every second (we were childfree this definitely helped). We walked all the way from Midtown Manhattan to the 9/11 memorial and spent a morning in there, something we will never forget, it was so powerful and moving. We took a guided tour of central park (on a day it was -15 I have never felt cold like it), our guide was brilliant he took us to all the famous movie spots, talked about the history of the park and surrounding buildings and got us some great pictures! We visited the Natural History Museum which has been a dream of mine since I was younger watching 'a night at the museum' and it did not disappoint, I could of spent the whole trip in there! We took a romantic stroll across the Brooklyn bridge, ventured to the top of the empire state building and took in the incredible views of the City and spent some time in the very busy and energetic Times Square before doing some much needed retail therapy in Macy's and the Harry Potter store which was magical, I highly recommend for any Harry Potters fans!! The suitcases were very full coming home! New York City truly stole our hearts. We'll forever cherish these memories!
