The Metropolitan Opera in New York City

An opera at the Metropolitan Opera House located in Lincoln Center is a necessary night out for anyone, regardless of whether or not you like opera. Between the amazing MET Opera House, the awe-inspiring opera singers, and the overall experience of having an elegant night out, what is not to like.

Hotel Mela New York City Times Square Review

On my trip to New York City, I was all about the budget hotels so when I found the Hotel Mela on groupon I couldn't wait for my one night stay. A modern and sophisticated boutique hotel located 1/2 a block from Times Square, Hotel Mela was a hidden treasure right in the heart of Manhattan.

The Manhattan Times Square, New York City Review

After booking the Manhattan Times Square through Hotwire's Secret Hot Rate, I was a little concerned after reading some of the reviews on tripadvisor. In the end, I was pleasantly surprised by this "diamond in the rough" (as a few of the users had called it) and left wishing that I could extend my vacation.

Centrally located between 51st and 52nd on 7th, The Manhattan Times Square is ideal for anyone looking to be in the center of the action and within walking distance of subway stations that are ready to whisk you away to another part of the glorious city that is New York City.

New York City for the everyday Gossip Girl

Hello everyone!

I have finally finished Gossip Girl (I actually binge watched it on Nextflix) and I have to say that seeing all of the amazing shooting locations in New York City is getting me even more excited to go. In honor of this, I thought that I would make a post about some of the main attractions featured in Gossip Girl that anyone in New York City can enjoy.

Winter 2014 Travel Plans!

Hello everyone!

I am very excited to announce that I will be heading back to the USA on January 6th and will be traveling while I'm there. Thus far the only booked trip that I have so far is to New York City for 4 days and I couldn't be more excited. In honor of that, during my planning process I'm going to be posting about what there is to do in NYC, cool places to eat, the museums, and some packing ideas (since it will be in the dead of winter). Although I have been to NYC once, it was only for 20 hours and was a whirlwind of a trip so I am very much looking forward to January!

Other trips are currently being looked into so I will update if/when I have more information on those. Hopefully I will be adding Chicago and Las Vegas to the list so keep checking back!
