Postcard from the Brooklyn Bridge

Tweet The Brooklyn Bridge has quickly become one of my favorite “touristy” spots in New York City. It’s the perfect vantage point for a beautiful sunset, a relaxing walk on a sunny day or just a nice way to get from Brooklyn to downtown Manhattan.

Seeing Manhattan from the water: the Circle Line Cruise

Tweet My very first “housewarming” gift in New York City was a copy of The Best Things to Do in New York. It’s been an awesome resource in an overwhelming city for the tried-and-true tourist spots, quirky festivals and neighborhoods that are worth a wander. When it came to the Circle Line Cruise, the book’s [...]
