Trip of the Week: New York - ADDITION!

Some of you may be wondering: what else can I do while taking the trip of the week? What are the cities hottest spots when it comes to food, drink and entertainment.




Here's a glimpse into what the Big Apple has to offer this week:

Have you heard the recent news surrounding the architectural wonder that is the highline. Located on the West Side, this former elevated train track runs from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District to 34th Street, between 10th & 11th Avenues. The area was once used to keep freight trains off the streets of Manhattan, but now holds one of the prettiest parks in the city, complete with the original tracks!

While there, check out the Chelsea Market. This place gives Faneuil Hall a run for its money. Filled with a plethora of vendors and stores, you're sure to find something delicious to heal those hunger prangs at the right price.

Looking for a little more history?

Walk over to Grand Central Station and find your way up to the campbell apartment. This jazz era bar brings old world charm and elegance back to the station.
Just beware: proper attire is required.



If casual is more your style, have no fear, there's something for everyone in the city that doesn't sleep.

Hop on down to the village, you're sure to find some great, casual meals.
We suggest Las Ramblas for Tapas. 170 W 4th St.
Finally, don't limit yourself to Manhattan while visiting the Big Apple, remember that Brooklyn is booming with culture, views and of course, food. If you have time, take a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge to see one of the city's best views!
Enjoy!
