I would never go to New York places filled with criminals. Thereโs no law-enforcement and itโs way overpriced and expensive. Go to Boston instead.

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!

I am surprising my 22 year old daughter with a trip to NYC in May for her college graduation gift. Is there a contact email for Sarah that I can ask her some specific questions? Neither of us have ever been to NYC. I already have flights and hotel booked. Just wanting some advice for best deals on shows, etcโฆ.. Her favorite is Hamilton and it will be playing when we are there. But looking at good tickets now, are around $700 for the 2 of us. Iโm willing to pay that if I have to but want to be sure Iโm getting the best deal possible. Brenda

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."
Your videos were always great but they are next level these days. Keep it up ๐๐ผ
@walnutsxvHi Sarah do they still do a shuttle bus from Newark to Manhattan. Were going to new York this September for my birthday. We love watching your helpful tips. Your fantastic you have helped us so much
Much love Scotland ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
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.
@johnoleary148Wonderful video as usual, Sarah. As always the best travel Vlog review videos in New York City. By the way, you are a princess dining in a palace.๐ Do not tell your husband I said so, I do not want him coming after me.๐คฃ
@birminghamcloseup15:55 that place looks so great, right up until she showed me the MOST ANEMIC looking slice of tomato i've ever seen in my life. I dont think i wanna be paying what is undoubtedly top dollar for THAT.
@sarapugh6700But New York stays expensive.
@74RobinosThanks Sarah, friendly regards from Holland. (Dutch cheesehead)
@74RobinosSarah where were you when 9/11 happened.Were you in school still??I was with one of my exes and she just dropped me back to another girlfriend when it came on the news,we watched in horror as it unfolded my heart goes out to all New Yorkers sending much love xxxxxxx
@iandalby4273Wish I could return to NYC but not with the current madness and Trump in charge.
@thegeneral123What you talking about blade cost 2700 to get from jfk to wall street manhattan i must be on the wrong site an Uber would cost me like 60 dollars come on Patrick star
@KINGBONESPYRO๐๐๐ Alhamdulillah.. we would love to explore NY soon in shaa Allah
@IamMeeksouLBSo happy I came across your channel! Just got back home from a 4 day trip that was mostly made based off of of your video. You were a lifesaver and gave incredible recommendations! Thank you ๐
