Travel thread 3.0

Just had a text from my mate I’m going to NYC with. He wants to stay in Harlem. Seems a bit out of the way to me

Love this thread. Really inspired to travel solo and see the world. I'm fed up of doing what everyone else wants and going on meaningless trips. I have some plans to travel this year, its just taking that first leap and booking something.

Have looked at Krakow for mid March for 3 nights with a few mates. Anyone any recommendations on where to stay if i do book. Booking.com seemed to be Have alot more apartments than hotels

Stayed in a place called Hotel Logos a few years back, small hotel, very nice and a short walk to the Old Town Square

Uptown Baby! I do love that these scruffs pretended Shea Stadium was Yankees Stadium in this video

All kidding aside, I could be wrong but I think most of what you’re looking to do would be in midtown Manhattan and Lower Manhattan

Haha never heard of them. Shea stadium is the Mets right?

Yeah I’ll check public transport but Harlem seems a bit of a long way from everything and not that much cheaper than Midtown

Yes, that’s right— Shea was the Mets old stadium. The new stadium is far better—great place to catch a game if you’re interested in baseball

Harlem sounded an interesting place to stay, all I could think of was it’s a long subway ride when you’ve had a few and need a burst.

Better to watch there or Yankee stadium?

Haha that's pretty much what I'm thinking

So my mate has now text me to say he's reserved an AirBnb in Williamsburg. He's casting a wide net lol

I’m terribly biased but I’d say Citi Field (where the Mets play).
Back in the day, I would said Yankees stadium but the new Yankees stadium just doesn’t have much going for it.

I think the Yankees are playing at home while I'm there. Might try to catch that

Jumping in here to recommend a week doing inter city travel in Italy with some mates. Did Naples, Rome and Florence last year and it was an absolute cheat code. Cost us 430 quid all in before spending money for 7 nights and we stayed in an unbelievable villa in the Tuscany hills where they made their own wine on the farm and sold you bottles of it for 5 euro! Was also in Naples on the night of Napoli's Serie A title win which is a night I'll never forget. Doing north Italy this May: Milan, Verona, Bologna

Booked the same AirBnb as my mate in Williamsburg. Two rooms in a house owned by some old couple.

I hate AirBnb. I'll try to find a hotel nearby in the meantime lol

Williamsburg will be a good location though, looking forward to that.
