Jo Takes on NYC & Russ Ready for Europe

Places & Travel

Russ shares his itinerary for his upcoming 5 week journey: Vienna, Istanbul, Amalfi Coast, Egypt. Jo gives a rundown of some new places to hit in NYC. Check out staying in areas such as Hell’s Kitchen. Jo stayed at Ink48; a great find. Consider using the Walkonomics app to take the “greenest” route from point A to B in Manhattan, especially in summer.

Remember that summer is all about rooftop bars in NYC so look up to find the places to sip a cool drink. Don’t forget to try Blue Ribbon Sushi behind the Time Warner Centre, the Tommy Bahamas bar on 5th Ave. Take a trip to Roosevelt Island on the cable car using your metrocard. For aerial views, instead of the Empire State Building, try Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Centre or the new Freedom Tower down in Wall St. Best new food place: Dante in McDougall St.

Enjoy Manhattan!
