Hi Sarah, . I'm glad you have this channel.
My friend moved from NY to Georgia. When she comes to visit, she acts like a tourist. Pisses me off because she was born here, yet never took time to enjoy what this city has to offer. She took it for granted. A metro card and some leg work is all you need. Thanks for sharing

Great video Sarah. Always try to do different things but Little Island, the Brooklyn Bridge & Staten Island Ferry are so cool they've become repeat experiences! Glad to see them all included 🗽🇱🇷💙👍

Mazel tov, Sarah, on your upcoming new arrival! So glad you made the move out of your apartment so that you could grow your family! And, I do literally mean grow! Congratulations, again!

Chicago has had free days regarding museums for years. If you have a library card, you can access free admission to some theatres as well. Cool to know NY offers free days as well.

Great tips. Thank you for that. We'll be there in just two weeks. Can't wait since the trip initially was booked for the summer of 2020. But ...

Great job! So much information. Well researched. You obviously put a lot of time into this to help benefit people who want to spend some quality time in NYC without floating a loan. On a personal note, I have watched many of your videos and you never disappoint with your choice of earrings. Very stylish and flattering. Good luck with your upcoming second child.
