Thanks, despite getting my name wrong.
FWIW, I agree and would probably prefer to see some cities over there rather than New York but it’s somewhere I think that’ll be a good experience, plus it keeps the missus happy.
Thanks, despite getting my name wrong.Never been to the States and I don't think I ever will now. Too bloody old! Having said that, New York is one place I'd avoid like the plague. It's never interested me one bit. Too much like London. All buildings and tourists! I'd rather see places like New England, Colorado, Utah, Idaho etc. Small towns where you get to meet real people. I've been to London hundreds of times - both business and visiting people - and hated it every time. New York just sounds too much like the Smoke. Anyway, just my opinion C4L, and I hope you have a great time. Stick some pictures up on here later, to show how much fun can be had if you try!
How about Worcester??Had a great weekend in Liverpool not long ago. Portsmouth for its history. Er... That's about it really.
Thanks mate, we’ve got everything we want to see planned out. How cold are we talking about?I don’t need to tell you to take thermals. It’ll be fucking freezing this time of year over there. It’s great though when it’s clear blue skies and dry.
Only thing I’ll say is plan out the areas you want to explore because If you aren’t careful you can spend a lot of time travelling / in traffic in cabs and miss out on seeing a lot.
It’s my favourite city.

When we did Feb it was sub-zero at the start of every day. Obviously once you’re out walking you soon warm up and it’s a hassle as you get hot as soon as you step in a shop / pub / restaurant. But the wind chill there can make it feel really bitter.Thanks mate, we’ve got everything we want to see planned out. How cold are we talking about?
Been here nearly 3 years now, and only been into Worcester half a dozen times. Missus doesn't like it. She feels lost. We prefer to wander round Pershore, Tewkesbury, Ledbury, Ross-on-Wye or Ludlow. All within ½ to ¾ hour drive from me.How about Worcester??
Don't know what I was thinking there!Thanks, despite getting my name wrong.
I've been a few times at this time of the year and had days when we've worn just t-shirts and others when it's been -10 & a couple of feet of snow. Take clothes for all eventualities.Thanks mate, we’ve got everything we want to see planned out. How cold are we talking about?
All of which are lovely! I would say "Come to Evesham" but other than a walk along the riverbank on a sunny day, there's not much else to recommend it!Been here nearly 3 years now, and only been into Worcester half a dozen times.

Been to Evesham a couple of times since we've been here. Quite like it.All of which are lovely! I would say "Come to Evesham" but other than a walk along the riverbank on a sunny day, there's not much else to recommend it!
We’re going later on in the year-do you mind telling how much it cost etc? There are 4 of us going and need to book soon but don’t want to get ripped off etc.Off to New York in a couple of weeks, anyone got any recommendations for decent bars, places to eat etc?
I paid £600 PP for 5 nights flights and hotel with BA. Going early March.We’re going later on in the year-do you mind telling how much it cost etc? There are 4 of us going and need to book soon but don’t want to get ripped off etc.
We paid something like €1,800 between 2 for flights and 5 nights at a 4 star hotel - that’s flying from Milan though.We’re going later on in the year-do you mind telling how much it cost etc? There are 4 of us going and need to book soon but don’t want to get ripped off etc.
That sounds quite reasonableI paid £600 PP for 5 nights flights and hotel with BA. Going early March.

We actually dined at Grand Central Station. Lots to choose from, but we frequented an American restaurant, the food was great, and the servers top rate and great fun. Seemed weird to dine out at a station, but would definitely go again.
When I went I spent most of the time just wandering around looking up at stuff!Did my honeymoon in NYC ten years ago now. Loved it, felt like being on a movie set. No fucking idea where I went most of it was planned by the missus.
