Within a couple of days of staying in Manhattan we found ourselves walking the High Line as many tourists tend to do on any visit to New York. It’s a great way to escape the traffic and meander above the streets, especially in the morning when there are less humans jossling for their own piece [...]

Prior to setting off on our US trip I came across a blog mentioning a certain cookie I simply knew I had to sink my teeth into. Situation dark. I mean, what kind of name is that? Located on East 10th Street in the East Village is this hole-in-the-wall dessert place with some of the [...]

Somehow when out-of-towners drop into New York they tend to fall into the pattern of automatically visiting the icons that are found in guide books and travel websites. Staten Island Ferry … pretzels & hotdogs … Empire State Building … Katz’s Deli … the list goes on. New York is famous for its pizza and [...]

My name is John and I have an addiction. Prior to setting off for the States I had a nagging concern. When addicts don’t get exactly what they’re craving, what their body needs, things get a little tense. A little messy. I’ve been told by a few non Australians that we’re spoilt for choice when [...]

Google “New York best soup dumplings” and you soon realise that many of the results show Joe’s Shanghai Restaurant; the name just keeps popping up everywhere. After a lot of review reading my own consensus was formed that Joe’s was definitely on the cards as a must visit in New York City. Yes, it was only a matter [...]

The diversity of restaurants in New York City is just as you’d expect. You’ve got those street vendors with $1 slices of sloppy pizza or tiny hotdogs, classic diners, swanky dining rooms with pompous waitstaff, bistros and food halls … you name it. A trip to New York where there was no shoestring budget and an Australian dollar [...]

On an island 21.6 km in length and 3.7 km in width, how many roads do you think there’d be on Manhattan? 250? 300? Would you believe there’s just one? With an island full of numbered and named streets and avenues, somehow this island ended up with just one road.   Several months prior to setting off on our trip [...]

Arriving in Manhattan was a bit of a surreal experience. We were there nine years prior, way too much of a gap I know but when you’ve got a whole world to explore it can take some time for revisits to take place. 12 hours from SYD to LAX and a connecting 4½ hour leg across to JFK, [...]
