I was excited before I stepped out of the plane at LaGuardia, maybe for even days before that! Speaking of LaGuardia, my suggestion is to fly into there, as it is closer to the city than JFK. It takes about 20 minutes to get to mid-Manhattan by taxi...

Pros: educational

What's the first thing when you think of New York? Most likey(I'm not saying this is what you're thinking of), you're thinking of the city! I don't blame you if you did think of the city! I'm born and raised on Long Island, and I still always think of...

Today marked the first day of the 24th year of the NY Renaissance Faire in Sterling Forest, located in Tuxedo, NY. This event never disappoints and this year was no exception. The festival doesn't try all that hard to emulate a sixteenth century...
