So here's the deal i have booked a trip to the US, namely Boston - Bridgeport (pit stop) - NYC at the dates of 23rd June to 5th July. And i want some new neat tricks and tips for my upcoming trip. I will be traveling by myself and using mass transit, trains, subways, buses.
I have been to both cities in 2015 so i have done some previous things.
What i have planned so far..
I have booked 4 nights at a central hotel in Boston. First i had planned to see U2 at Gilette stadium at the 25th, but those plans are canned at the moment. Only resale tickets at a high price there and seems to be a hassle to get to the venue. Instead i have been thinking about going to a Red Sox game at the classic Fenway Park. They have some home games during the time i am in Boston so might be a good time to catch that.
Been also thinking about going out to Manchester by the Sea and just take in the classic new england atmosphere and having a nice lunch and ice cream.
See the Harvard Campus.
Last time in Boston i took the Freedom Trail, although not all the way up to Bunker Hill me and my family were quite worn out that day after getting to North End. Also went on Whale safari from Gloucester.
During the pit stop in Bridgeport the 27th theres a ballgame at a ballpark not far from my hotel. Might be fun to go to a smaller ballgame thats non MLB. Seems to be a real americana thing to do.
In NYC i have 7 nights booked. And i have only one real thing booked during these days and its my U2 concert at Metlife Stadium the 29th of June. I will be statying at Leon Hotel thats close to China Town / Manhatann Bridge.
In 2015 i went and did these things. Walked Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty / Ellis Island, One world observatory, Top of the rock, Times square, biked in central park, Wall Street.. checked off quite alot of the most typical touristy things.
This time maybe time to see more of Brooklyn, go to Coney Island? Take the ferry to staten island? Probably will see the 9/11 Memorial museum, somehow missed that las time.
Also smaller input on how the experience by traveling by Amtrak is, how going on a trip like this by yourself can be in the US and so on.
Cheers
