Often called Grand Central Station, the famed commuter terminal located at 42nd Street and Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan last year celebrated its centenary having official opened February 2nd 1913. OK so this post is a little late, but I was lucky to be in New York in 2013, and even luckier to take in Grand Central Station during its [...]
Not bad for an office bod. Despite spending a large portion of my year sitting at a desk in a freezing cold west London office block, travel over the past 12 months has been good. Very good in fact! At the risk of sounding a little like a Dbag, here's a few travel numbers I [...]
When it comes to observation decks in New York, there are two big names, and of course buildings, that are vying for your attention, custom and ascent. It is a heavyweight clash, with the Empire State Building in one corner and The Top Of The Rock @ Rockafeller Center (TOTR) in the opposite corner. Both [...]

Wow, what a trip! Three days of running around New York like a madman, girlfriend in tow, and a full A to Z of the city compiled. Mission accomplished! If you follow me on Instagram or like my page on Facebook you may have seen a few of my chosen 26 pop up/flood your stream. [...]
New York, New York - Words from a rather famous song by one Frank Sinatra there. Seriously though, it's up to you! ... read on and you will understand why. As you may have seen, last Friday I was both excited and delighted to announce on my Facebook page that I am off to travel [...]
I was asked at this years WTM how I qualify as a travel blogger if I don't travel full time. I guess its a fair enough question, but one that is at the same time wearing a little thin.

If ... actually scratch that, WHEN I eventually become the new host of Man Vs Food 2 destinations high of my list for monster meals will be Texas for the BBQ, and Germany for the Bratwurst (and maybe a beer or two). This weeks interviewee swapped BBQ for Bratwurst a while ago, as is now living the [...]
