Sounds great! I really want to do the same for my 30th, I turn 30 in March 2017 but have always said if I went to New York it would be near christmas so were probably looking at December 2017, will be following this trippie for inspiration x

Sounds like a fab idea, we went to NY first in November & it was amazing to see all the Christmas lights! I did say if we went again I would like to see spring / summer just for a different view but its obviously worked out that we will visit in October. Im hoping some of the amazing autumnal colours will be in central park!

Sounds incredible, we did a 10 night Orlando trip last year with no Disney (saying that we did sneak in a 1 day visit to HS but otherwise were very good!) We had an amazing trip, loads of time for Universal / SeaWorld / Bush Gardens & DC, not to mention the times spent at the outlets !

So moving on with the planning, I can't seem to commit to booking my last few nights accommodation just yet in case I decide to change our plans slightly, however I can start to think about... FOOD!

With New York being our first stop, I thought it was best to start here, so the following is a unashamed bunch of serious food porn photos! You're welcome!

Last time we visited New York, I had a similar list and Im embarrassed to say that we completely failed in trying most of the snacks on the plan The ones we did manage though... OMG! This time i'm determined to give it a much better go.

New York Snack List


Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich @ The Ronnybrook Farm Dairy (Chelsea Markets)
Lots of Cookie Sandwiches on offer, but this one looks fab!




The infamous Cronut @ The Domonique Ansel Bakery
Hopefully the 5am queues have calmed down a bit by now




Various Mexican Noms @ Los Tacos (Chelsea Markets)
We did actually have these last time but they are soooo good we are goinig back!




Doughnuttery (Chelsea Markets)
Hopefully these will be as good as the Doughnut Plant ones we tried in 2013!




Bar Suzette (Chelsey Market)
Various sweet / savoury crepes, this Goats Cheese & Squash one looks right up my street!




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)
This was on my list last time too but I was always too full, ill be grabbing some to go this time If I have to!




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!




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 last trip 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!




Kati Rolls @ The Biryani Cart
A good old food cart snack!



So that concludes my list! We have 3 full days to fit in as many as possible! Can we do it? Yes we can!
