NEW YORK winter 2024: Brooklyn Bridge, Staten Island Ferry, Central Park, 5th Avenue & much More 🇺🇸
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 гру 2024
- Join me and Laura as we enjoy an EPIC Day exploring New York City, USA! We start our day early at the Brooklyn Bridge for sunrise, walking across the bridge without the large crowds and enjoying views across New York and Brooklyn. We stop in Dumbo for a nice Starbucks Coffee and to explore the area before going across to the Whitehall Ferry Terminal to catch the Free Staten Island Ferry. This free to catch ferry gives great views of the Statue of Liberty and is a 1 hour round trip which saves you plenty of dollars instead of getting a tour.
After some wonderful views of the statue and New York skyline in the sunshine, we head to the 9/11 Memorial and ground zero to pay our respects and reflect on a day that changed the World forever. Across the street from the memorial is the Oculus, a wonderful piece of architecture that has lots of shops inside which we had a look around in. Laura found some fantastic buys inside Pandora and also Kate Spade and got some Holiday treats.
After a break in the Oculus we jump in a taxi across to the Friends apartment building which is featured in the TV show and is located on Bedford Street. This is also near Greenwich Street New York which is a borough of Manhattan that is full of wonderful shops, cafes, bakery's and restaurants! We tried cookies from Crumbl and also a Gluten Free bakery which blew Lauras mind! We then head to a wonderful Gluten Free Italian restaurant so Laura could enjoy a full meal. Senza Gluten Restaurant is perfect for anyone with allergies and their whole menu is Gluten Free.
After some delicous food it was time to ride the famous New York Subway/Metro, I show you exactly how it works and how much it is to ride and navigate the trains. We head back uptown to Central Park, exploring some of the park and some of the famous sights and scenes from movies such as Home Alone 2 lost in New York and also the famous Ice Skating rink at Wollman Park. From Central Park it was an easy walk across to 5th Avenue and some of the famous stores and shops that have Christmas decor all over them. We take a look at the Lois Vuitton building and also Trump Tower which was stunning.
On the way back towards our Hotel we stop by Rockefeller Centre to see the Christmas Tree lit up and the Christmas lights atmosphere. I then grab myself a delicious American Burger from Five Guys before we go back to the Virgin Hotel. After a short break and a nap, we take the lift up to the Sky Lounge in the Virgin Hotel to sit in the Green Room with a cocktail looking out at the magnificent Manhatten night time views! WHAT AN AMAZING DAY!

Andrew you’re punching with Laura, never mind Ariana Grande😂
Hahaha true 😂
That did make me laugh 😂
She does work very hard but so does Andrew n he looks after her, always surprising her ...he really does love her
Poor Laura wanted David beckham and got jedwards little brother 😂
Definitely 😂😂
As a born and bred New Yorker, I have never heard a fire escape referred to as a metal ladder, but I loved it. I'm so glad Laura got her wish to visit come true.
LOL that is true haha glad you like them!
Let me tell you Laura is one in a million. She's worth a billion. She's so down to earth and so real. She has A.G. beat by a mile. I loved watching her pull her hair out at the end of the night 😂😂🎉 that Louis Vuitton building with the suitcases is truly amazing I've been to New York about 8 to 10 times and never saw anything like that in my life 👍🏼🍕I know you're making memories that are going to last forever.

“Curb Your Dog” refers to having your dog relieve itself at the curb or gutter, rather than on the sidewalk or flowerbeds. The owners are also expected to pick up the dog droppings afterwards.
Given how you treated Laura, I bet that ‘Couples Kit’ went used that night.
Another great vlog enjoyed watching 👍great fun.
Glad you enjoyed it, lots to come 🤩
you've been curbed and that laugh made my day!!!🤣
Thats our kind of banter, always has been..we have a good laugh lol

Loving the New York content guys. Was shocked to see couple planes spraying

Great vlog.very informative. Dior building lights, and the Christmas tree at rockerfella centre beautiful. Just great to watch you guys .tv is guff😂
Glad you enjoyed it, lots to come 🤩
Hi Guys, I’ve never seen you two with so many clothes on can see your not use to the cold 😂 Laura looks frozen, you could never move back to England 😂 such beautiful blue skies there too! Thank you for showing us round, it’s a place I would never want to visit but very happy seeing the sights from my sofa on the telly 😂 .. glad your home safe and sound and back to warm weather 😊
We are used to 28 degrees everyday lol 😂
Really enjoyed this lot colder than tenerife
What I noticed when I was in NYC was that no ones was wearing sun glasses. Then I realized that the tall buildings block out all the sun so there was no need for sun glasses.
i found I used mine a lot more than i thought
Excellent volg
Ooh, so pricey nowadays. I have been there 2006 and 2014 and it was actually very affordable back then. I did all the same stuff but stayed in a less fancy hotel and used public transport all the time. Very cool vlogs!
Everywhere around the world gone up now :/
Great vlog. We went in 2023 but cannot believe you didn't to Statue of Liberty and 9/11 memorial - iconic attractions
Oh andrew amazing...lots of favourites..brooklyn bridge, central park, rooftop bar, dior building and laura getting a kate spade. Youve packed so much into a short time
Lots of love ❤ Elaine xxx
Thank you 🤩
Loved everything Andrew. Great info about the ferry didn’t realise you had to get off to get back on. Cannot wait for more 😀
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video. That hotel you seen in Central Park was the home alone hotel, that was the plaza. Also if you use the subway, they cap the amount they charge you over a 7 day period. So you can use it as much as you want and it will only charge you a certain amount, I think it’s about $35 😊
Thanks for the tips! 😉👍
Should have added, you need to make sure you always use the same card 😊
Enjoying watching the NYC trip Laura & Andrew......i have never been ,it looks great
Glad you enjoyed it
Andrew just on you saying about your photos, scroll right to the bottom of all your photos & select customise & reorder then unselect everything apart from Utilities & Albums & that will put them back to how they were😊 also absolutely loving your NY Vlogs, so well put together & so interesting May bump into you in January when we are over x
Thanks for the info!👍
Love watching these, visited last November with school friends for our 60th birthdays, would do it all again tomorrow.
Glad you enjoyed it, lots to come 🤩
Great vlog Andrew and Laura .
Glad you enjoyed it
Poor laura looked frozen you're on one Andrew poor laura I'd definitely curb you 😂😂great video thanks Laura and Andrew for sharing your day in new York ❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it
really enjoying your NY vlogs!
thank you, more to come :)
Fantastic vlog. OMG Laura I would of been in heaven at that Gluten Free cake shop. I think I'd have bought one of everything 😂😂. We need shops like that in England. Xx
So good! Laura loved it 👍😊
Super video as usual. Even though I have been 8 times to NYC and I am going back next year I am always interested in what is going on there. Just cant believe the amount of Junk Food and sugary foods you guys eat. Nothing green!!! How you did the trip with just hand luggage to is staggering. Could never do that.
Stride on loving the vlogs
Brilliant yet again 😂😂
Thank you 🤩
Brilliant vlog, you n Laura are so good together, reminds me, of me n my husband winding each other up, laughter is the best medicine, love you how say Louis Vuitton 😂 would love to visit New York, to see the rockeets and the tree, and shopping 🛍️ Louis Vuitton building for the win for me 🎉🎉🎉 thank you for bringing us along 🇺🇸

That gluten free shop looks insane! I can’t eat gluten either. Be fab to see more shops like that

Great vlog guys! Levain Bakery is the place to go for the best cookies, and you literally were walking towards Bleecker Street pizza as Andrew mentioned her wanted a good slice it was infront of you to the left in the vlog😆 Plaza was the hotel in Home Alone you can do the Home Alone experience for around 15 grand 😟 xx
that hotel is crazy expensive lol! thank you :)
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏 vlog ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Great volgs absolutely beautiful and stunning volgs Andrew and Laura so exciting 😮for me the Louis vuitton that bag building was wowzers ❤ it. And ps Andrew think u should be able to go see your mistress ariana grande perform after this trip and the big apple bag.. Think that's a fair deal hun 😅😅looking forward to the next installment 😊😊chez
Thanks so much 😊i agree the bags building was amazing
If you had taken the subway it would have been 18 minutes and about $3 each !
Wouldnt want to be on the subway at that hour
We were on it at nearly midnight and it was fine
My mum use to work on 5th Ave in 1960...as hairdresser and beautician
Wow thats cool
Only halfway through this vlog and I’ve had a £50 bet with the missus that you won’t get on a subway train this whole series. Don’t let me down Andrew keep on cabbing it, you know it makes financial sense 😂
😂 Get your cash out!
Keep watching 😜
Gutted Andrew lad, you’ve cost me £50 😂😂😂 She’s wanting more bets now but you’re so unpredictable lately I’ll be skint by crimbo 😳
The hotel in home alone is called the plaza
Which is the hotel you are looking at
Thank you :)
Haven't watched the new York vlogs yet , too busy enjoying Tenerife, but will catch up when we get home 👍🏻as we love new York ,🥰
Hope you enjoy!
We would normally stay in Secacus, New Jersey rather than Manhattan itself. Just a couple of Dollars into the Port Authority bus terminal. We dind you get better accommodation for cheaper and it also let's you see more. In my view NY is a city to look at rather than being in. The best views are by ferry and the one we got was Hoboken-Wall St. Great views.
Thanks, sounds a good option 👌🏼
Great vlog 🤩🇺🇸
Thank you!!
We used the subway to travel around.
Meet some characters on there and not all pleasant😮😂
@@rablee used subway many times, a lot better than London during the day
Thats why we didnt use it at 6AM
Been to the USA many many times and just to say you don't get jet lag going from east to west. Its on the return that you get jet lagged.
Jet lag is a general term, goes both ways, you wank up early due to time difference
Jet lag occurs both ways when you’re crossing time zones.
@@TheKnightStrider I think you mean wake up .😅😅😅
41 minutes in that’s the New York brewery I think . Went there for the Beatles tribute band brunch on a Sunday
Nice 👌🏼
Great video Andrew 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Me and Karen got lost on the subway 😂
i can imagine that Colin lol
Big Friends fan too 😂
Yesss 🤩
Always use the relaxicabs only way to travel
Hahaha 🤣
Why aren’t you using the underground ?
Keep watching 👍
1983... I am pretty sure that bridge is older than that (3:06) probably 1883
correct :)
Shame no time for Ellis Island it’s so interesting.
Great vlogs
Next time 👍
When will the rest of the Florida vlogs be uploaded 🇺🇸🏰
Soon
Amazing viedo. I have done all that as well. Glad your having fun. Louis vountan
It really is!
Your channel makes me so hungry haha bet it was nice getting back in your hotel room all cosy out the cold with that view! Ariana grande is stunning but she’s got super skinny bless her
Hahaa so much tasty food in NYC!
great vid
Thanks 🤩
Im loving these vlogs so much! Laura...your worth 10 of Ariana Grande, beautiful lady ❤
Thank you so much!!
Certainly a different dynamic, you and Laura are in New York and Mr Travelon is in Sutton Coldfield 😁
Glad you enjoyed it, lots to come 🤩
That was the hotel he stayed in on the film the plaza
Yess 👍 $2k a night loo
Starbucks annoyed us when we went in January. We went to the one in Wall Street. They told us we couldn’t use the rest room.
Thats a shame
The hotel you’re looking at on the bridge is actually the Plaza where Home Alone 2 was filmed and Kevin stayed. Laura is correct about Trump, but it was the Plaza he owned at the time 👍 great vlog
Thanks for the info!
With Laura mentioning it should be illegal for them to lie to you outside the terminal, I believe it is, I often see cops moving them for the sake of tourists 😮
they are quite dodgy, I bet a lot of tourists fall for it too
Lv. All the way
Very cool this year
1883 the bridge though😉
👍🏽👍🏽😃😃
Had Crumbl cookies in Florida. Just tasted raw. Horrible!
Do the bikes in central park.
maybe :)
Don’t be wicked to Laura 😂
Its just our banter…Wicked, Ariana is in that 😂
@ hahaha 🤣
