Like you there are a tonne of places in NYC that I have not visited and need to see. But I don't know whether I should spend this trip going somewhere that I have not been to.
The dayflight is really swinging me to New York. I know that is trivial but I cannot stand night tatl flights - they kill me.
I have tried to add New York and Chicago together but it is too expensive with the connecting flights.
I don't have a clue what to do. My budget is very restrictive and I am trying to make the most out of this trip.
I find it interesting that you stay in the Financial District in NYC, though I realize that's much more of a tourist destination than it was 16 years ago. What hotel in Chicago?
I'm a NYer (well, NJer) who relocated to Chicago 25+ years ago, so I have experiences with both.
Chicago is one of the top tourist destinations in the United States. What are your interests? Happy to suggest some sights that would meet your requirements.
American Airlines has daytime flights to London. Departs at 8:55 am and arrives at 10:40 pm.
