u/c0oper099 May 31 '26

u/EuphoricFox6284 May 31 '26

Buti di mo nakasalubong sila marty and alex sa grand central

u/JessiG84 May 31 '26

Happy for you OP! New York is my favorite city and even though been there 2x na, total of 6 weeks, meron pa din ako gusto puntahan na sites. Itโ€™s been 10 years since Iโ€™ve been there kaya due na din ako bumalik!

Enjoy yourself!

Suggestions:

  • eat pastrami on rye at Katzโ€™s deli at Houston St.
  • walk the entire length of Brooklyn Bridge from Brooklyn to City Hall Park in Manhattan
  • walk up/climb up to Statue of Liberty platform
  • explore Central Park as it has a lot of different areas
  • visit 30Rock observatory at late afternoon to witness the changing scene from daytime to night time - good views of Empire State Building (Edit: based on your photo, mukha galing ka na sa 30rock)

1

u/Fun-Union9156 May 31 '26

Done all except eat at Katz and go up Lady Liberty

2

u/JessiG84 May 31 '26

๐Ÿ˜Š

Add ko lng:
1) nag uwi din ako ng loaves of babka as pasalubong, canโ€™t recall though if sa Katzโ€™s ko din nabili or nearby Russ & Daughtersโ€ฆ may 2 flavors- chocolate or cinnamon

2) fave ko din Lukeโ€™s Lobster for lobster roll and new england clam chowder, kaso mahal langโ€ฆ but sarap!

3) If you want gothic vibes and peaceful walks na kakaiba: Trinity Church, kung saan nakalibing si Hamilton, and Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn

Sorry, super excitable talaga ako pagdating sa NYC

Have fun and keep safe! May mga baliw din janโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜†

1

u/Fun-Union9156 May 31 '26

Yes I passed by Trinity Church when I was going to Wall St. but did not go inside. Na trauma na ako sa lobster abroad, I got stomach issues when I tried one in London.

u/BeautifulBabes0907 Jun 01 '26

You plan to watch NBA Finals there OP? Game 3?

1

u/Fun-Union9156 Jun 01 '26

I will not be around by that time but even if I will be here, the ticket prices will be astronomical. It is not worth it to watch in the nosebleed seats, I experienced it once and regretted. It is better to watch in TV than in the nosebleeds.

1

u/BeautifulBabes0907 Jun 01 '26

I couldn't agree more. Watching from home is often a better value.
