Phew! So that’s my list of my favourite things to do in New York. All Manhattan I’m afraid, but I will be sure to get into the other boroughs on my return. But wait there’s more; a couple of things that I was disappointed with and would thus not recommend to other people:

  1. New York Cheesecake – Sure to be a controversial choice and it may be a cultural thing but, hailing from England, I say, “Sponge base on cheesecake?!!” Not for me I’m afraid
  2. Chinatown – I wanted: a vibrant local ethnic community with great restaurants and Chinese food stores. I got: street hawkers selling every counterfeit item under the sun.
  3. The Museum of Natural History – We had time for one museum and my other half enjoys natural history museums. How I wish we had gone to the Met. Uninspiring and, frankly, dull.
