    As an Englishman I’d feel the need to visit the Irish Famine museum. It’s such a sad and terrible part of British history that many here in the UK don’t really know of, sometimes we need to reflect on how one person treats another, and ultimately the results of these events. 💚

    Those parks, especially the elevated one is so so nice! I’ve lived in New York City my whole life but because there’s so much in midtown Manhattan and I never explore there a lot.
    I would definitely bring my friends there to play volleyball and chill or something!
    Edit: Just saw the very end of the video. Nvm the elevated park. WHERES THAT VOLLEYBALL COURT.

    • @WrightWorld
      @WrightWorld 4 роки тому +3

      I'll be there in January too for my first visit. Staying three nights and already have so many "must try" foods on my list thanks to Jon and the Food and Footprints channels that I don't know if I'll have much time to do anything aside from eating, riding the subway to the next food stop, or sleeping off a food coma at my LIC hotel. I may not make it to Central Park, the High Line or any of the other "must do" tourist spots at this rate...

    Paley Park used to be my personal hidden gem when I worked nearby…I would go there for my 11:00am lunch (when there was almost no one there). I would eat my lunch and read, while the sound of the waterfall washed my brain from all of the stress … pure BLISS.

I love your tips and advices about traveling in New York City and New Jersey. I stayed in New Jersey in a hotel in Union City in February of 2008. Union City was once the center of the Cuban exile community in the 1969s and 1970s until the 2000s.

    This was a super detailed video. Didn't know all those gems existed. I've only been to NYC in the Winter and I'm not a cold type of person. lol. When it gets warm I'm coming up to see some of these places.
