Just spent 11 weeks travelling the USA. 
 

Loved NYC, make sure you get to Ground Zero early as they shut around 5 and will literally Chuck you out, there’s quite a lot to see inside. 
 

We saw 2 broadway shows which was good experience. 
 

The Empire State, Statue of Liberty etc all worth a look but absolutely rammed full of people, to the point they were a bit off putting. 
 

A very intense place but the energy is electric.

Take your life savings don’t have to spend it all. But you don’t want to have any regrets because you’re being tight. Might not never go again ??‍♂️

Quality city, I go there a few times every year for a piss up. I can’t do more than 3 nights though as the yanks enthusiasm drains me by then - if you like bars check out The Dead Rabbit. 

I got back week before Christmas and it’s well expensive over there now, $9-10 a pint before tip, $5 a coffee

No mate, only ever been Manhattan. 
 

it might just be me being a miserable git, but hearing “awesome” “sure” “you got it” at the end of every sentence and the high fiving does my nut in
