How much for you to be the guide you know so much its a lot to remember lol
You're doing God's work girl. If I had the money I'd hire you as a personal guide
I love Governor's Island mainly because it's peaceful and quiet – away from the horn honking on the city streets. Lot's to see on that island with much history, and much to see and do. The northern part of the island is considered a national park. Fun fact – the southern 2/3 of the island is all landfill that was added when they bore out the tunnels for the subways over 100 years ago.
No free access to 3 days itinerary 🫠🥲
Lilly’s restaurant NYC
16:10 "Free public beaches" … Shouldn't all beaches be free?
Thank you sooo much! Really helpful
I’m going Feb. 2026
Any tips for a Florida guy?
How to organize a tour tomorrow
Are the museums actually free for tourists? When I was looking on Google at these museums they showed a price I believe it was saying for tourists. 💭
I'ma going to New York Manhattan in 3 weeks for 4 day's
I like your video
I was born and raised in NYC . Rode the ferry many times. It was a cheap date at times. Train travel,one always needed to be aware of one's surroundings. Times Square, the crossroads of the world . Awareness is the key. Don't walk around with your head in the clouds acting like a TOURIST even if you are one. Prices for food in Times Square is expensive one should expect that. The ferry and times Square are ✔️ ✅️ mark locations. I go home often and go to these places to reminence if you will. Brooklyn, Queens,Bronx and Manhattan (the city) in native language.
I really don’t like this way of showing off — it’s inappropriate and boring. The rest of the video is nice though.
I am glad you mentioned the proper etiquette at the 9/11 Memorial. The last time I was in NYC was shortly after it opened, and it was very upsetting how many tourists were blatantly disrespectful. I also visited the Pentagon memorial a couple years ago, and thankfully I was almost entirely alone that time.
Vessel costs
Sarah, Could I please get the 3 days NYC Itnerary? The link is broken
oh, and about free museums – rich have memberships and when they go, only members can go, so they are not bothered by you- bigots! Oww, they make up for you – give you ONE free day, no, not a day- few hours- so you are standing in a line all day and then ENJOY museum with bunch of poor idiots like you, which mostly are there only because it's free and check box! Very enjoyable. And I wonder what free show tickets is she talking about?! No broadway shows have discounted and free tickets. Lincoln center has student tickets. But if you want to take your 5yo on ballet, you pay full price! Same for other linconl center shows. No discounts for kids.
these attractions are for the lowest class, stupid americans that are considered to be servants and working class… you work your ass off and rich throws this from their table. Go, search how they spend their time and how their kids are entertained, educated and traveled.
Hi, great video! Is there anything special happening on Governors Island at Christmas?
Why no selfie smiling? When Israelis were dancing right in front of twin towers when it was all happening.
I'm visiting NY/NJ after being away from the US for 25 years, and this is a really good list. Thank you Sarah!
Love the Camera!
Completely free? Something is at no cost. Thus free. Partially free means there is a cost. Please watch your language.
