5 Rooftop Bars to Enjoy Autumn in New York City

Stockcake.com The Big Apple is awesome all year round, of course, but there´s something about the crispness of fall that makes it especially appealing, with clear, dry weather and temperatures still a balmy 18 degrees Celsius (65 Fahrenheit). In fact, some say it´s perhaps the most comfortable time of year to visit - and to enjoy the cool vibe and spectacular cityscapes from its rooftop bars, offering cocktails with a side of sky and unforgettable views.Read post Stockcake.com

DUMBO and the Brooklyn Bridge topped Google´s list of most searched for scenic spots in the USA

Eileen Tan/Dreamstime.com   On Google´s list of its most popular searches during 2022, when it comes to scenic spots in the United States there are some surprises. For starters, “scenic spots” in Google’s definition does not include iconic places like Vermont’s Technicolor White Mountains in fall or the yawning Grand Canyon in Arizona (and by the waym more about canyons later). Instead, Google users were primarily interested in where to see and photograph some of Mother Nature’s magnificent…

Tribeca cool on the downtown sidewalks of Manhattan

 peeterv If whilst strolling along a side street in the downtown New York City neighbourhood of Tribeca (also spelt TriBeCa), taking in the cityscape, you think you might’ve just passed Leonardo DiCaprio, with his head down and slouching under a Yankees cap… have another look – nope, you’re not dreaming – it’s Leo, all right.Your chances of bumping into a famous face or two on the street are definitely higher here than in most other parts of the Big Apple; for example, Robert DeNiro is an owner…

  • Bill, I called a car service; $33 plus tip. As usual, the driver gave me a choice of going over a non-fare bridge (the Williamsburg) or taking the faster Midtown Tunnel, for which he'd have added on a toll. I chose the Williamsburg.
    Note that I'm returning to NYC via JFK, and I'll take the train in, because although JFK is much further from Manhattan than LGA, it's also -- as you know -- a helluva lot easier to get to.
  • Now, Ed: how did you get to LGA? Cab? I need more info! Any tricks we can apply to your recipe for travel ease?
  • Greenwich Village to LGA in less than 15 minutes, fast check-in, minimal security line, plug for computer. When did you last have such good luck?
  • I have just posted brand new travel deals for New Year's Eve Times Square travel packages in NYC! Check out our best value: Four Nights New Year's Eve in New York Hotel Package
  • With good reason, Evelyn. hahaa-- yes, Bill 17th at Union Sq.
  • Hey, maybe I'll meet you two at Dogmatic! What street is it on - 17th? Near Union Square?
  • Dana -- Looks like it's you and me for Dogmatic.

    Meryl -- Are you secretly from Chicago? No real New Yorker would recommend a Chicago-style hot dog, even from Shake Shack.
  • Let's walk to Dogmatic, Meryl, and make the comparison!
  • I love to be a dissenter. i really do love the burgers at Shake Shack, or maybe it's the smell that I'm in love with. Whatever. They're good. The Chicago hot dogs are even better and no one else in Manhattan has them. Just avoid the vegetarian shroom burger or whatever it's called. It's truly awful.
  • I'm with Evelyn. Dogmatic has my Italian heritage wrapped around its finger. YUM.
