What month you would suggest to go for ?
My first job was at a retirement home. This old woman said that they took everything from me. I thought she was just not all together. I was told this at 15. Now I believe her. There are people after me trying to take from me also.
I’m scared to live here. Work is scary. I’m not accepted in New York. People are after me here and I don’t have the means to leave. I wouldn’t even know where to go.
Wow so beautyfull !
I seeing this video from Pakistan.
Thank you so much for the Best Video tour of 5 days in New York. You describe it to the point and people listening and watching MUST pay attention to the small details when you explain. Like when you say “ in advance ” to visit the Statue of Liberty. One can be deceived getting there to then know that to go up the statue, bookings need to be made at least 3 months prior getting there. One only discover this fact when getting there and hence stay at the foot of the statue only. The worse is that even people do get there, they don’t even share this detail on their return.
Big Apple 🍎 Is Awesome 👌 Thanks For 😊 Outstanding Video..❤😂😅😊
hi make vedio of new york with experience of 2 person including hotel and explore city
Good information thanks
You missed Tribeca 🙂
Great video ❤
Really good video which has been very helpful with planning our trip. One question regarding the Empire State Visit, you recommend an early start for a sunrise viewing however looking at the opening times on line it appears that entry does not open until 9am. can you clarify please?
Lots of interesting places, but little time.
It's really good itinerary to follow.
This video is masterful. Great guide to visiting New York.
