Guide to visit New York and Baltimore for first time !!!

Wish you all a wonderful Happy New Year 2017 !!!!

I hope all had great fun and enjoyed every moment of the new year ball drop with fireworks.

I did enjoy my New Year Eve in New York with my spouse and my friend's family.New York is such an amazing place to spend vacation. Awwww !!!!!! Suddenly thought to help newbies planning for vacation around New York, so here I am to share my experience with the world.

We had planned for five (5) days trip of which three (3) days in New York and rest 2 days in Baltimore.This post will be helpful for people who love lot of walking,it can easily cover 7 to 8 miles a day :)

Usually my husband and me opt to reserve a hotel away from downtown and take the earliest train or bus to downtown the next morning. This time my friend's husband planned to take a hotel in downtown and roam tension free, guess what, it really worked well. We comfortably booked around Times Square and spent whole time walking down all the street day and night.Its really awesome, I definitely mean it.

Day 1: Our travel started with drive to reach Manhattan and visit Time Square.Had lunch in Curry Express (Indian platter shop). Later visited the observatory in Empire State. I ever wondered how the magnificent structure was built in just less than a year. We can't event code a project without errors whereas people in earlier days constructed each story of Empire in a DAY.😲 Something which I want our future generations to follow and which I don't want our parents to know.πŸ˜‰The view from the top is amazing !!!!





We had amazing Mediterranean food from Maoz for dinner. Falafel was amazing !!!

Day 2: Woke up early morning and took a stroll to Time Square with hot coffee from Dunkin Donuts. The view is spellbound, need to watch it all the time.Ever wondered the busiest and crowded street look in the morning, then take look at my pics πŸ’—





I love authentic Indian food so we had the best south Indian breakfast in Saravan Bhavan. Just love the madras filter coffee, mind blowing.
Later visited Central Park and enjoyed the kiss of Sun over the green grass,very authentic.Got chance to see the Balto,dog, statue. We then took a bus ride to Grand Central Terminal. On the way watched the glorying Trump Tower. We had lunch nearby at Minar (again an Indian Restaurant). The Terminal is so magnificent.We headed to Brooklyn Bridge, very crowded yet amazing place. We did around 3 miles of walk over the bridge and took some photos.One of the most amazing place to visit at the evening.
Now was the time to have good dinner and great dessert. Yummm. Oh Yeah!!! So we walked to Little Italy. Had awesome Chinese dumplings at Excellant Dumpling House. Those steamed chicken dumplings are so awesome, am mouth drooling now πŸ˜‹. Time for dessert, so we headed to Cafe Palermo.You guys need to check this place, amazing menu.πŸ’˜

Day 3:  Took a quick stroll to Time Square in the morning. We checked out from hotel and did bit of shopping in Macy's & Uniqlo. Then started driving to New Jersey to Dimple's Restaurant for lunch.It was a hugely crowded restaurant but food was good.We took a short walk nearby as it was hub for all Indian cuisine, jewelry, apparels, dress and condiments. Its one of the place which feels like India :) After the great food we headed to drive to Baltimore- Inner Harbor. We had dinner at local store and ended the day.

Day 4: This was the day to spend in and around Inner Harbor.Wow...Wow..Wow..😲 I tell you its one of the wonderful place to visit.The view is so breathtaking. There is everything around the harbor, ice rink for skaters,restaurants, Ripley's believe it or not,Aquarium,Baltimore World Trade Center,Museums,Federal Hill Park,etc.One day is not enough. 😍.Eateries are around the Harbor walk to please your stomach.






Also don't miss the view from Fells Point.

Day 5:Wrapping our trip and back to home.Whole day was driving, nothing much in particular.😊

Hope you guys liked my post and thanks for reading such a huge blog !!!

P.S:My advice is take the hotel reservation right in the center of the downtown so that most of the time is spent to view the blissful scenario than wasting time on travel 😌
