    We're going to New York in May 2024 and I've watched a lot of videos online about New York, just now I saw your videos, I watched some videos from your channel and it feels like friends talking,i love it ...I just watched your wedding video and it felt so full of happiness and sweetness. Lately, I've been quite reluctant to get married; as they often say in Chinese nowadays, fear of getting married. But watching your video made me feel that marriage can indeed be a very happiness thing. So, I really appreciate you sharing your video.😀😀😘

    You saw a good amount for one trip in NYC! As a local, I always warn people that you will not be able to see everything in one trip… or two… or three even. 😅 Hey, I still haven’t even been to the Edge or done a helicopter tour. The city can be overwhelming if you try to do too much so I recommend you pick a few things that are scattered about so you can spend a day in different parts of the city including boroughs other than Manhattan. Leave time in your schedule to be spontaneous or spend more time in a place you like. Depending on how much of it you wanted to see or how many things you’d wanted to do, you could easily spend a whole 3 days in central park alone and still not see everything in it!! I agree that the NY Pass seems like a good deal especially if you want to do general touristy things but still see a decent amount of the city… but after that I’d try to avoid doing too many of those things because they don’t really give you a feel for what the city’s really like as the activities included are tourist activities in touristy areas… areas which locals generally try to avoid. 😅

    • @SofiaAbrantes
      @SofiaAbrantes  Рік тому +2

      I agree with this 100%. It's my 7th time in the city and I STILL feel like I have so so much left to see. It's the first time I've gone with an "adult" budget, the previous times I went as a college student and stayed in hostels etc, so it definitely felt good to finally be able to afford all the touristy stuff. But on our next visit, we're definitely planning on doing a lot more "local" stuff.

    Great video! I'm impressed at how much you did on your trip. The helicopter ride looked incredible so I'm going to book that when I'm in NYC again next April. I wish you would have eaten out more because NYC has the BEST food!! & BTW- I went to Lisbon last year for the first time and loved it!! One of my favorite places I've ever been. Looking forward to seeing more of your travels!

    • @SofiaAbrantes

      You’re going to love the helicopter ride 😍 and honestly I wish we would have eaten out more too, it was a budget decision unfortunately. We were always the kind of people that thought these trips were out of our budget so we found ways to make them happen (ramen for the win 😂).

    Another nice activity to do during sunset is to have a picnic in Island Park, which offers a nice view over the Hudson River and the One World Trade Center. Plus it has amazing architecture and it’s looked near an entrance to the elevated park called the High Line where you walk through the buildings. Both activities are free.

      @@pau465 Hi! We only got a 4 day pass because there are a few things (like Summit One Vanderbuilt) that are not included so we thought having 4 day pass would be enough and then we could fill the other days with other things! I would definitely recommend that, especially because exploring central park alone can take you a whole day. I believe we paid $450 for us both for the 4 days, which was VERY worth it

We were in NYC last week for the first time and I wish I had seen your video before! We could've made much better use of our six days in NYC. The image quality of the video is very good with hardly any camera shake. Csn I ask what camera gear did you use? Did you use a selfie stick or any special gear to hold your camera? Thank you for posting this video which will be very useful if there is another another visit to the city for us!

It would mean the world to me and make me so happy to travel all the time. I am 26, stuck in my parents house almost the whole day. I go to therapy twice a week, so depressing. Wish things weren’t this way. I just want to do what makes me happy and traveling all the time/going out everyday to new places will definitely make me happy. I wish you a life full of joy, peace, and positivity. I hope you want all the same for me ♥️

It’s not easy but it sounds like you’re putting in a lot of work! Just remember you have your whole life ahead of you - some people don’t start traveling until they are 40/50 and still make that dream come true. You can do anything you set your mind to 💕

    Hi. This is such an informative video. Thank you so much.
    Please did you get the NY pass before arriving and did you have to prebook the activities. If yes how long in advance. I’m travelling in a month and your video is perfect. Thanks again

    • @SofiaAbrantes
      @SofiaAbrantes  10 місяців тому +1

      You're very welcome! Glad it helped.
      I purchased them before arriving, as they only activate the time period (for example, the four days) the first time you check in to one activity (so keep this in mind). We had to prebook some, and not others. Each individual activity (both on the website and on the app) will tell you what you need to do beforehand. Some require reservations (cruise, Empire State, The Ride, just to name some) and others don't.
      Reserving or pre-booking will not activate your pass, so feel free to reserve everything you want ahead of time without worries. Keep in mind some do charge "no-show" fees if you book and don't show (The Ride, for example). Hope this helps

    Thanks. Liked most of your exploring. Cool to see a number of the observatories.
    Which of the sunset cruises did you do? Helicopter was very cool!
    Would have added going into the main public library on the end of Bryant Park. It’s free. The building is stunning and they have an exhibition (Treasures) of some of the interesting items in their collection on the main floor. The Transit Museum in Brooklyn not far from DUMBO would have been an interesting addition there as well.
    Would NOT have gone to the wax museum. With all of the other museums in the city to pick on a rainy day, that will never be on my list. Other choices- Metropolitan Museum, Morgan Library, American Museum of Natural History, and so many more.

    • @SofiaAbrantes
      @SofiaAbrantes  5 місяців тому

      Thank you! We did the Circle Line sunset cruise (listed in my description). I didn't go to Bryant Park public library this time as I'd already been a handful of times, but it's a great recommendation 😊
      As for the wax museum: honestly it was just an immediate rain escape type of thing (it started pouring and we were right next to it and it was free with our pass, so we did to pass some time). I agree with you though, and have also visited most of the ones you mentioned on previous trips!

    • @SofiaAbrantes
      @SofiaAbrantes  11 місяців тому

      First thing in the morning! It's big enough that people spread out, and they do limit the spots, so it's always smart to buy tickets ahead of time. I've heard it's beautiful at sunset/night, but can get super crowded.

      Hi! Thank you 💞 and it depends a little bit, but between these two I want to say Empire State is a little more well-rounded view wise (One World is very far south, so you won't get as much of Manhattan).

      Thank you so much 🥰 so every activity that needs to be booked in advance will say so on its activity page in the app. I believe it was Empire State, The Ride, and the sunset cruise. And I remember booking about 3 weeks in advance or so. Hope this helps!

    • @SofiaAbrantes
      @SofiaAbrantes  Рік тому +2

      You're very welcome! It's very easy to go from JFK to NYC (near Times Square, for example). You basically take the Air Train at JFK (red line, you can get on it right outside the airport and there are signs everywhere) and switch once at Jamaica Station, onto the E line direction World Trade Center. If you use google maps (download the map area offline for easier use within the subway) it'll help out. CityMapper is also great for navigating the system. Hope this helps, have the best time!!

    Hi Sofia! I loved your vlog!! I am flying to New York in a few days but I am a little concerned about the NY Pass. I read that is not possible to book anything in advance. Did you struggle to get tickets on the day or it was ok?

    • @SofiaAbrantes
      @SofiaAbrantes  5 місяців тому

      Hi Jo! I'd love to be able to help out, but could it be that it's a seasonal thing? We had absolutely no issues pre-booking anything when we went in April, but I'm wondering whether Christmas tourism could be the issue. A lot of the bookings are just to let them know you're coming (ex. empire state), but some I know do sell out overall (ex. The Ride, we were warned we'd have to book ahead). On each page of the activities that are part of the pass, it'll tell you pre-booking procedures. Maybe check out availability on those booking pages before buying? Sorry that I couldn't be any more help though.
      PS - Absolutely no pressure, but if you do buy the pass and you do it through my link in the description I get a little commission at no extra cost to you. But again, only if it ends up feeling right for you! Have a great trip 🥰

    • @SofiaAbrantes
      @SofiaAbrantes  Рік тому

      Yes! So you do go onto the island, but it doesn't include entrance to the TOP of the statue itself (Lady Liberty). You can walk and see her from up close, like we did, but there's also a separate option to go INSIDE the statue and that you have to pay extra for. That's what they mean with this: "*Does not include entry to pedestal or crown levels inside Statue of Liberty - must be purchased separately." Hope this helps and have a fantastic trip 🤩

      Nope! I actually found May to be perfect because it was nice out but not sweltering hot. I’ve done NYC in the summer and the heat and humidity made it a miserable experience. Honestly, so much in NYC can still be done with a bit of rain (think broadway, observation decks, etc). We only had two days of drizzle of the 8 days. I highly recommend May, if I had to go back it’s the month I’d pick again. Have the best time 😍
