Manhattan Congestion Fee

April 2, 2024 by Island Miler

Manhattan Congestion Fee

Heads up! If you're planning on traveling to New York, getting around is about to get a bit more expensive thanks to the new Manhattan congestion fee. Of course, the fee will very based on how you travel - driving yourself and catching a ride.  … [Read more...] about Manhattan Congestion Fee

Review: My Belly’s Playlist (Renaissance Midtown Room Service)

February 21, 2017 by Island Miler

I really try not to eat within the hotel at which I'm staying.  Usually, but not always, hotel food isn't all that great.  Even if it is good, it is often fairly generic.  Room service is even worst, and also incredibly expensive.  But sometimes, you just can't help it.  And this time, a case of the late-night munchies caused me to try the Renaissance Midtown Room Service. … [Read more...] about Review: My Belly’s Playlist (Renaissance Midtown Room Service)

Review: Mentoku Ramen (New York)

February 15, 2017 by Island Miler

Before we left Hawaii for New York, I learned of an interesting ramen shop thanks to Sun Noodle.  It's name is Mentoku Ramen, and they're located in New York's theater district.  Their claim to fame?  Whipped cream ramen. … [Read more...] about Review: Mentoku Ramen (New York)

Review: Ivan Ramen New York (Flagship Restaurant)

January 27, 2017 by Island Miler

For those of you that don't know him, Ivan Orkin isn't your usual ramen master.  A "Jewish kid from Long Island," Ivan is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America.  He learned how to make, and became famous for his Jewish influenced ramen in Japan.  Fast forward a few years, and a couple Tokyo ramen shops later, Ivan returned to New York and opened his first U.S. shop, … [Read more...] about Review: Ivan Ramen New York (Flagship Restaurant)

Shake Shack New York: My Favorite Burger Joint

January 24, 2017 by Island Miler

Who makes the best burger is a very touchy subject.  I'd argue that discussions surrounding the subject matter can be even more intense than those concerning politics.  And we all know how intense those discussions are now in the U.S.  But, like many of that can appreciate a good burger, I keep a mental list of my favorites.  Actually, I keep two mental lists, since it isn't … [Read more...] about Shake Shack New York: My Favorite Burger Joint

Big Apple Day 3: Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge

January 19, 2017 by Island Miler

After a satisfying brunch at Jane, the wife and I headed out on our Big Apple Day 3 adventures.  Now, we didn't really have any plans for this day.  We were thinking about going to the 9/11 Museum, but that didn't happen.  The metro line we took from Jane skipped the Cortland St. station and instead stopped at South Ferry Terminal.  Since this is where you need to be for the … [Read more...] about Big Apple Day 3: Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge

Review: Jane Restaurant New York

January 18, 2017 by Island Miler

Our third day in The City was a Sunday.  So, what does one do on a Sunday morning?  Brunch of course!  Narrowing down where to go proved to be incredibly difficult.  I don't even remember how we ultimately decided, but we chose to go to Jane Restaurant in Greenwich Village. … [Read more...] about Review: Jane Restaurant New York

Review: Michael White’s Marea

January 12, 2017 by Island Miler

As I've said before, this trip to New York was the first for the wife, but not for me.  So while her goals were to see a lot of the must-see sights, my goal was to EAT.  Our first official meal in The City happened the night before at a Hawaiian restaurant I've wanted to try since they opened, Noreetuh.  But our next official meal in the restaurant came off of Anthony … [Read more...] about Review: Michael White’s Marea

Big Apple Day 2: Rockefeller, Central Park, Times Square

January 11, 2017 by Island Miler

Day 2 of our Big Apple Holiday Adventure saw our first full day of exploring.  We like to keep things informal, though, so we had no plan or itinerary.  Rather, we simply did whatever we felt like that day.  Our second day in The City was BEAUTIFUL, so we decided to knockout some of the outdoor sights.  So here goes, our Big Apple Day 2! … [Read more...] about Big Apple Day 2: Rockefeller, Central Park, Times Square

CityPass New York City

January 9, 2017 by Island Miler

Before I get into the rest of my trip report, I want to go over CityPass.  For those you that have never heard of it, CityPass is a collection of attraction passes sold at a discounted rate.  The passbook itself usually runs over $100, but the combined value is often a lot lower than the face value of the individual passes.  And this being the wife's first visit to the Big … [Read more...] about CityPass New York City
