![]() ![]() Visit the 9/11 Memorial and Museum on a Tuesday Evening Afterwards, we walked around the city that never sleeps, got drinks at Dante, and snacked on dessert at Milk Bar, where I ran into someone from my alma mater, DBU! Small world in a big city, I must say. I had never been to a stand-up comedy show, and I have to say, I was impressed! Also, it was only $10/person-a steal for the great time we had. One thing that they showed us was the glory of stand-up comedy, where Seth Meyers’ writers hysterically interacted with the audience and improvised with witty and wry humor. One of Kevin’s brothers and his wife live in Brooklyn, so we had an insider’s look into the city. The entire experience was a dream, especially if you’re a foodie like me! We used Foods of New York for an Italian experience in Greenwich Village, and on this tour, we got to eat a slice of Joe’s Pizza, try REAL olive and truffle oil at Oliviers & Co, snack on a rice ball and salami at Faicco’s Italian Specialties, eat a huge meatball at Trattoria Pesce Pasta, meet a Chopped master at Rafele, taste a chocolate chip cookie at Milk & Cookies, sample cheeses at Murray’s Cheese, and finish with a cannoli at Rocco’s Pasticceria. One of my favorite memories was doing a food tour. We got the chance to be on the Brooklyn Bridge, find the Financial District, meander through Midtown, check out Chinatown, take in Times Square, and sit in Central Park all in one day. Even if my feet were hurting, walking was the perfect way to see the city in all its glory. On one day of our trip, we walked from Brooklyn all the way to Central Park, which resulted in us walking over 31,000 steps, or about 13.7 miles. Kevin and I enjoy being active and outside, so one way that we saved a lot of money was by walking as often as we could. Thankfully, however, my husband and I made several decisions that saved our wallet while also allowing us to have the time of our lives in NYC. I was thrilled at the prospect of seeing the city, as the biggest city I had seen prior to New York was…Houston, maybe? This small-town Texas girl was excited at the idea of towering buildings for miles but also nervous about the dent this trip would make on our bank account. When New York made the list of places to visit this year, the first thing I thought was that this trip was going to be expensive. ![]()
