Experience 24 Hours in New York Trip with Us

Morning Departure and Accommodation

Our day began bright and early, as we ventured from Delaware to the dynamic streets of New York City. After a comfortable 2 1/2 hour drive, we were welcomed by the Dream Hotel Downtown. Strategically positioned in the epicenter of Manhattan, this stylish and contemporary hotel provided the perfect starting point for our escapades.

Artistic Exploration: INTER_IAM

24 Hours in New York, INTER_IAM

Our first stop dove us into the immersive realms of INTER_IAM, a pioneering interactive art gallery that invites you to navigate through inner and outer journeys via a sensory explosion of color, texture, sound, and aroma. Departing with enlightened minds and uplifted spirits, we embraced the mantra “Clear your mind and focus on good vibrations” as we continued our adventure.

Lunch at Coppelia: 

After an exciting morning, we satisfied our appetite with a vibrant spread of Cuban cuisine at Coppelia. Nestled in the charming West Village, every bite from the classic Cuban sandwiches to the rich rice and beans, exploded with Caribbean flair. And, needless to say, a refreshing mojito perfectly rounded off our Cuban culinary expedition.

Under the Bright Lights of Times Square

Next, we made our way to the world famous Times Square, the pulsating heart of New York City. The dazzling billboards, bustling crowds, and electrifying atmosphere defined this iconic location. We captured the moments with photographs to cherish the memories of our visit.

A Sweet Break at Angelina Bakery 

We took a leisurely break at Angelina Bakery, conveniently located in Times Square. This charming bakery offers an enticing selection of freshly baked pastries and indulgent desserts. We indulged in a slice of strawberry shortcake, New York cheesecake, and a scoop of creamy coconut ice cream while absorbing Times Square’s exhilarating energy.

A Culinary Conclusion at Juban

As the sun set over the city, we made a quick pit stop at our hotel to freshen up prior to making our way to our final destination. We concluded our trip at Juban, an authentic Japanese restaurant known for its culinary artistry and simplicity. As we indulged in the well crafted sushi and flavorful dishes, we made a toast to a splendid day!

Tip: It’s BYOB, so don’t forget to bring a bottle. 

Final Thoughts and Farewell

While a mere 24 hours may seem short, our thoughtfully curated itinerary seized the perfect spirit of New York City. From the radiant creativity at INTER_IAM to the dynamic vibrancy of Times Square, and the exquisite culinary experiences at Coppelia and Juban, each moment formed a snapshot of the city’s enchanting allure. As we retraced our journey back to Delaware, the city’s magic lingered, already inviting us for another exploration. 

Until next time, may your journeys be delightful and your spirits ever adventurous!
