Most of my travels I did as a solo female traveller. And hostels were often the best option - cheap, safe, great places to meet another traveller.

Calling all book lovers and NYC lovers!
Manhattan has so much to offer for the literary fanatic. Of course, there’s so much literary history here (more to come on that in a future guide!), but we also have fantastic and old bookstores. I've been fortunate to frequent them as I look for books on my TBR, support indie sellers, meet authors, and enjoy learning the history of the stores.
This guide includes 6 bookstores with different genre specialties, histories, architecture and events like book signings. Scroll down and save this map so you can check them out next time you’re in Manhattan 📖

My SIL, her husband, and their two boys live in West Harlem so I have been out a couple times with my kiddos to visit. Here is my 24 hour itinerary in the big apple with my little travel buddy, Blake (my 4 yo best dude) for our most recent trip. We flew in late Friday night, explored all day Saturday, then Sunday was a day of indoor play for the boys. Follow along the map for our exact route and how we made the most out of our short time in the city.
We took the train from uptown to Central Park, traveling on foot from there until just before taking the train from Grand Central to the ferry in the evening and then back home.
