Godo 2.0

Just finished my itinerary for a whirlwind 2-day trip to New York City this week!  Porter Airlines had a 50% off sale, and I had Hilton points to spend on a hotel, so I’m gonna spend 2 days and 1 night in Manhattan.  It’s not long, so I won’t make it to any of the boroughs, but I haven’t been to NYC since high school (10 years ago, yeesh) so it was very tricky to narrow down my not-to-be-missed list.  I just wish I had more meals - there are SO many places I want to eat!  Also, there’s a 90% chance of rain on day 1, so I factored that in with museums and indoor activities.

Tuesday

• Land at Newark at 9:30am
• Bus to the Port Authority
• Drop off backpack at Hilton Garden Inn Times Square
• Brunch at Norma’s (Le Parker Meridian)

Wednesday

I put together this Google Map - the red markers are Tuesday, the yellow are Wednesday, and the blue are other points of interest if I have extra time or plans change.  I’ll also be keeping an eye out for food trucks!
