Trip Review: NYC Getaway
The Harrison Family of Collinsville, IL shared a mother/daughter getaway to New York City. They stayed at the InterContinental Times Square for easy access to theater and centrally located to see all their favorite city sights. They enjoyed their stay and lovely city views from their room. With the New York CityPASS in hand, they had the flexibility to go to the top sites on their own time frame and without waiting in long lines. Their adventures took them around the city to visit the Statue of Liberty (with pedestal tickets confirmed in advance), the Empire State Building, 911 Memorial and more. They had fun walking over the Brooklyn Bridge despite the chill in the air and enjoyed exploring the Dumbo neighborhood with its unique shops and dining. Food was also a highlight of the trip with visits to Grimaldi’s Pizza in Brooklyn, Carlos’ Bakery and the M&M Store where Mary was offered personalized candy, but let them know she doesn’t need since her husband’s name is Michael! Mom and daughter also took in Time Square and went to see Mean Girls on Broadway. Their first trip to the Big Apple was a great success.
