Shake Shack New York: My Favorite Burger Joint

by

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

by

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: Michael White’s Marea

by

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

by

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

by

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

Getting Around in New York

by

For the first time visitor, getting around in New York can be rather daunting.  Beyond the sheer size of The City, there are many transportations options.  Of course there's the ubiquitous Yellow Cabs, Uber and Lyft, but they're a bit pricey.  Plus, add in the constant, crush traffic (depending where you are), and Cabs or ride sharing is necessarily the best way to get around. … [Read more...] about Getting Around in New York

Alaska Air N Terminal Lounge + SEA-JFK

by

Our HNL-SEA flight pulled into the North Satellite terminal at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport slightly ahead of schedule.  It was already dark outside and (surprise, surprise) rainy.  We had thought about going into downtown Seattle for a little while since we had a 5 hour layover in SEA.  But we decided against since we didn't want to have to rush and have to clear … [Read more...] about Alaska Air N Terminal Lounge + SEA-JFK

A Big Apple Holiday Adventure Introduction

by

New York during the holidays.  I'm sure such an experience is one in which many dream of enjoying.  My wife was certainly one of them.  And with no big travel plans for this year, I decided to finally book this trip this past spring.  I've been to New York before, but the wife has never been... In fact, she's never been to the East Coast period.  So this trip included many … [Read more...] about A Big Apple Holiday Adventure Introduction
