Here are some of the most common frustrations that travelers experience
when they come to New York City...
- “Wow, there are so many things to see in just a couple of days! I want to make sure I see everything I have seen in the movies... The Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, the World Trade Center, Greenwich Village. How will I manage to do all this without spending hours planning my route? How will I know what I am looking at? I don’t feel like reading this guide book for two hours every morning.”
- “New Yorkers are so stylish. I feel really out of place with my current outfits. I really would like to get some clothes before we go out this evening. How do I even start to pick out an outfit?
It would be so much fun to go shopping with the girls!”
- “I am really not enjoying these hotel bars and restaurants in Times Square. The places are filled with tourists and the drinks are so expensive!
Where do the real New Yorkers go out? I really wish I had some people to go out with tonight. The city is lonely and it is hard to meet people.”
- “I just watched the Sex in the City Movie… Where do I find those night clubs? I just got this great new outfit on Fifth Avenue, and I want to go out
dancing at a real New York City Night Club! Where do I go? I really don’t want to stand in line for an hour! I wish I knew the doormen like I do back home… I don’t have any friends to go dancing with tonight.”
- “I keep forgetting my camera! My mom is going to kill me for not sending photos of my trip to New York City! Even when I am out, I have nobody to take the photos for me when I am seeing the sights… How am I going to prove I was in New York City to my friends? After all, when I go home all I have is my stories and my photos.”
There are solutions for all of these problems you will face when traveling to New York city
Dare to walk up the streets of New York City and put yourself into the fabric of the world’s greatest city that throbs with activity, oozes glamor, and will take your breath away…
When you are traveling, time is money! Uncle Sam’s New York has organized tours that start where the
buses, boats, and bicycles STOP… We realize that the best New York City experience happens on the
streets and inside the great sights, bars, restaurants, shops, and night clubs.
IMAGINE the following stories you will be able to tell your friends and family when you go home…
- “You would not believe what I learned about New York City when I was there! I took this
New York City walking tour with this tour guide who had read more books on New York City than I read in college! I met these two girls from our Sydney on the tour. We had loads of fun… we even cried at the end when we visited the World Trade Center Site and heard those stories from that day. We took a ton of great photos with the cameraman who accompanied us on the tour. The Tour company put the photos out on Facebook and I tagged myself in all of them so you can see them.”
- “I took this pub crawl with the most hilarious tour guide! She was singing and dancing while she showed us all these awesome old New York City classic bars! So many celebrities have been to these bars. The tour guide showed us where Madonna danced in a bar in her Bad Girl Music video! There were six other people on the tour. An older couple from England, a couple guys from Germany, and we had a great time and took tons of photos… I didn’t have time to tag them, but go to Uncle Sam’s New York on Facebook and you will see them!”
- “I was so insecure about my outfits that I had to go shopping! I wanted to go dancing with some girlfriends I met on the walking tour, so we found this
New York City shopping tour where a professional stylist showed us all the best stores in New York and she gave us recommendations on where to go! Afterwards, I hired her to help me pick out a perfect outfit. She saved me so much money with her advice. I could have spent a fortune!”
- “The Night Clubs in New York City are awesome!! They are just like the movies! You would have been so jealous. A ton of other girls showed up on this
New York City night club tour we signed up for. There was a bachelorette party from New Jersey. There were 25 of us, and we quickly made friends with all the other girls at this lounge where we had drinks until we went into the night club. The tour guide walked us straight past the line and had us in within five minutes – everyone else in line was so jealous! Inside, we had a table and all got free drinks!”
