Street Walk at Manhattan

Families are always worth traveling with, and the city that never sleeps, Manhattan, New York, is even more exciting. A few months ago, my wife, our two daughters, and I decided to spend a day exploring this busy and very special borough, its landmarks, food, and atmosphere.

Rockefeller Center:

Our day started with Rockefeller Center, which has always been busy and famous for housing the FAO Schwarz toy store. It is fun and full of excitement, as if you have entered a world where anything can happen, and anything is possible. Both girls were so engrossed in the “Build Your Own Teddy Bear” session, where they dressed up their teddy bears. Their laughter was priceless, expressing joy that was unforgettable—a memory to cherish.

M&M and Hershey’s Stores:

We then proceeded to the M&M Store and Hershey’s Store near Times Square; both were fun-filled sweets for the whole family. The largest candy store of Mars, called the M&M Store in New York, upped the ante by treating its clients to brilliantly colored merchandise and the option to concoct their own M&M mixes. Across the street was the Hershey’s Store, where they had a great opportunity to make their own candy bar, which of course satisfied our sweet tooth. It was a sweet pause in the middle of the bustling business hub.

Times Square:

As the day turned into night, we found ourselves in the heart of Times Square, which embodies the vibe of New York City. The neon lights, towering posters, and bustling crowds gave the surroundings a charged atmosphere. The passion through music and dance in street performances engaged passers-by, adding to the distinctive nightlife experience. This time, we sat amidst the action and watched in wonder at the entertainment before us, particularly the girls’ delight in the technological wonderland of Times Square at night.

Challenges and Delights:

Living in Manhattan was no ordinary feat, not to mention the challenge of parking, especially in commercial areas. Manhattan is one of the most crowded places and jams. Finding a spot was like searching for gold, and when you finally found one, the fee reflected the busy pace of the city. However, the variety of street food available while walking through Manhattan’s streets was beyond average. From hot dogs and pretzels to tangy tacos and corn on the cob, every tasty morsel made discovering the city even more fascinating. Despite this may not directly impact the small-scale tourists on their short visit in New York, the general cost of living in Manhattan is relatively expensive. This can affect the providers of the accommodation, food & beverages, and even the attractions’ prices than other cities.
