"New York- TexasDave Style" New York City by TexasDave

New York City Travel Guide: 15,525 reviews and 30,893 photos

I was born and raised in the NY metropolitan area but now I return as a tourist and I love every visit. But for me NYC is the epitome of the cliche "a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there".

Dylan's Candy Bar

I listed this amazing candy store (Third Ave and 60th St,) in the "shopping tip" section but I wanted to post more pics of the inside with all the displays of Jelly Bellies, M & M's, gummi candies, rock candies, you name it, they've got it!

    We like Bruno's enough to skip dessert at restaurants and go there for coffee and cake. Great choice.

    DUMBO sounds great! I'm going to have to try that the next time I'm in NYC.

    I don't remember the mosaics or much artful about the subways. I think your "penthouse" pic is the Sherry-Netherland Hotel, a deluxe job where the Plaza is only a 4-star.

    Wow, I would be thrilled to see what you photographed with my own eyes! Thanks for mentioning the Promenade Park and the cascading water fountain between the Skating Rink and Fifth Avenue.
