Did you know you can cruise past the Statue of Lib Did you know you can cruise past the Statue of Liberty for free?! 🗽

If you’re not too keen on paying to go to the island itself, the Staten Island Ferry will take you pretty close to the Statue of Liberty - and it’s totally free! 😆

The only downside is that you’ll need to hop on a ferry back to Manhattan, which takes around 25 minutes each way. However, there’s a small shopping complex on Staten Island that you can walk around before getting the ferry back too 🛍️

Would you agree that the Upper West Side is a slig Would you agree that the Upper West Side is a slightly underrated part of Manhattan among visitors? 🤔

If you don’t know much about the Upper West Side, the best way to explore it is with a walking tour so you can see the main highlights as well as some hidden gems 🚶🏼‍♀️

We decided to take a fun food tour of the Upper West Side with @tasty_tours_nyc so we could also check out some of the popular eateries in the area 🤩

This food tour in NYC offers a great range of food tastings, including pizza, delicious bagels, hotdogs, and a stop at the very popular @magnolia for a sweet treat at the end of the experience (just to name a few stops) 🧁

We even visited a filming location for Only Murders in the Building! 🇺🇸
