Itinerary
Welcome to New York! What better way of starting this amazing trip than visiting the Statue of Liberty? We've got a full day of sheer NYC exploration ahead of us. We're talking Hudson Yards, the Highline, Grand Central Station, and even a visit to the World Trade Centre. (D) Stay: Moxy NYC Times Square (multi-share) (or similar)
It's time to head across the bridge and get exploring Brooklyn. Made famous by Girls, Gossip Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, this borough is the real deal.
We have a free day to explore and there's still one bit of the city we haven't seen - Central Park. And what better way than with a bike tour? Or maybe you'd like to take a tour of the LGBTQ+ historical hotspots in the city! In the evening, you'll have the chance to catch a breathtaking Manhattan sunset (from a yacht!) and cheers to what's been an incredible start, but there's still plenty more to come!
Well NYC, we came, we saw, we conquered.
Next stop Philly! But not before a true American style diner breakfast - we're talking unlimited coffee and pancakes the size of your head. Taking the Amtrak (train) down to Philadelphia will have us arriving early afternoon. That's plenty of time to walk through historic Philly and admire all the landmarks that make this city famous, including the LOVE Monument and the Liberty Bell.
Feeling thirsty? Why not join a tour of The Yards brewery for some locally made refreshments? For dinner it's best to indulge in what this city is known for: Philly cheese steaks and whoopie pies! (B) Stay: Motto by Hilton (or similar)
Today we head to the political capital of the USA, DC! Jumping back on the Amtrak will have us arriving in no time at all. Head out for a city tour of Washington DC, pointing out the White House, Capitol Building, the Washington Monument and National Mall. After checking in to tonight's accommodation, the night is yours - dinner, drinks, whatever you please! (D) Stay: The Generator Washington DC (or similar)
A full free day in DC to do it your way is upon you. Whether that means strolling the National Mall, exploring the Smithsonian, kayaking on the Potomac or checking out Union St Market. No matter what you do, remember to keep some space in your tummy for a delicious 'Brown Bag' lunch at DC Central Kitchen that supports a great cause. (B/L)
All good things come to an end (sadly). It's time to say goodbye to this epic American adventure. Who knows, maybe a trip to the West coast is on the cards next? (B)
