We have made several trips to NYC since living in Eastern PA. My dad and brother were here this past week and we thought it would be fun to take them since neither of them had been before. Well, this last trip has added to the things that we have learned about taking trips to the Big Apple...
1. Take public transportation while in the city (it can take you over an hour to drive 5-10 miles in Manhattan)...it only took us 4 trips to figure this out =)
2. If rain is forecasted, TAKE YOUR UMBRELLA!!! Or you will end up paying $10 from a street vendor (for one that cost 50 cents to make) if you're already standing in the pouring rain, soaking wet!!!
3. Times for the ferry to the Statue of Liberty don't matter (so if you're stuck in a downpour trying to make it to the ferry before it leaves...don't worry about it)!!!
4. Apparently, Applebee's can double/triple their prices if the restaurant is located in Manhattan and overlooks Broadway =)
Thankfully, my dad and brother are troopers and we had a great time despite the fact that we were soaking wet for the first half of the day =) Enjoy the pics =)
