NYC, LA & Vegas - March 2017

[EJSakaAnna]

Oooh Abi I've just found this! What a brilliant trip you have planned . Looking forward to following along. I really wanted to go to Dylan's Candy Bar in NY but we didn't manage to fit it in, next time hopefully!

Edited to add - I've just noticed its in the 'Disney Cruise & other cruise lines' pre-trips section. Might want to see if you can get it moved so nobody misses out x

I knew another trip would come along soon...
Toronto is getting so close now. Any last minute tips?

Yes it was never going to be an infinite break from trips was it?

Toronto... our favourite bits were Jack Astors, Keg Steakhouse & the Islands which were so beautiful. It's just a great city with a very safe feel to it. Hope you have a fab time!

Sounds like you have a wonderful trip planned, 3 epic destinations and the rough plan has a good mix of things, love that dinner for each day has been thought about

Will look forward to hearing more about it and reading the trip report!

Well food is the most important part isn't it

Thanks for reading along!

I went ahead & ordered these on Friday. Attraction Tickets Direct had them at £57.00 each for the 3 activity passes. This will cover us for the ESB, TOTR & the HOHO bus tour (uptown & downtown). We have bought Laura's for her & plan to give her it as part of her Christmas gift so she has less to save for.

I've reached a planning lull so in regular Abi & Aaron trip report fashion I'll move onto the food As we start the trip in NYC, I guess that's where I'll begin!

In what is almost a direct copy form our last NYC trip, here are my must eat snacks during our stay!

The infamous Cronut @ The Domonique Ansel Bakery
This will be the 3rd attempt at getting one of these! In 2013 the queue was ridiculous so we didn't even try. In 2015 we made it into the shop but the Cronuts has sold out (even though we could see them being made in the background! I mean... how unfair)! Third time lucky?

Various Mexican Noms @ Los Tacos (Chelsea Markets)
A must have snack for us, so fresh, so yummy & pretty cheap too!

Bar Suzette (Chelsey Market)
Now this is another double up as we did manage to get one last time! We opted for ham & cheese and it was incredible. This time I might have a go at this Goats Cheese one!

A real NY Bagel @ Absolute Bagels
This location may change but i'm determined to try a freshly cooked bagel, toasted with cream cheese! Drool!

Brownies @ The Fat Witch Bakery (Chelsea Markets)
OMG these are sooo sooo good! The caramel ones are just dreamy so I may have to stock pile them for the rest of our trip!

Stickys Finger Joint
This looks right up our street! Deep fired chicken strips with various toppings! Yes please! There are a few that look good!

Caramel Cupcake @ The Magnolia Bakery
A must have snack that eluded me in 2013 & 2015!

Pretzels
Again, this could be from anywhere but I absolutely adore a fresh Pretzel!

Yuzu Meringue Tart @ Epicerie Boulud
I came within touching distance of this in 2013 but we seemed to be ignored by all the staff at the bakery and so left in a huff. I've regretted it ever since. This time it's mine! Just look at the beauty!

Caramel Pretzels @ Applebees
These have been on my list for a while! How yummy do they look!?

So, my challenge is to fit all these in as well as coupious breakfasts, lunches & dinners in a 2.5 day period! No problem right?

Your plans look amazing, 3 great locations! I want to do something along these lines for my boyfriends birthday.

I had wanted to do a westcoast drive, but he doesn't have a license yet and I don't want to be main driver. So something like this would be perfect.

Out of curiosity, do yo know if the smores hot chocolate is available in the Orlando Hash House? (I'm pretty sure thats what your MIL is drinking?)...

I believe Hash House have the same menu location wide so the S'mores Hot Choccie should be available. I can also recommend the Chicken & Waffles! Yum!

I'm really looking forward to this trip. We have managed them all before separately but the 3 together should make for an amazing trip!

Definitely worth waiting until you can both share the driving for a West Coast trip. We did San Fran to San Diego in 2014 and shared the driving, it wouldn't have been fun to do it all myself,

Yay, another trip report from you 😄

All your plans sound fab so far.
