Famous for its “smoked meat,” the Quebec version of pastrami. Get a sandwich stacked mile-high with the stuff, schmear on a little brown mustard, scarf it down (then succumb to the food coma).

The country’s most famous university is also one of the most stunning areas, equipped with outstanding buildings and landscapes that date back to the 18th century. Be sure to take a peek at Book of Kells, one of the world’s most famous manuscripts, which is housed in The Old Library.
I waited to the side while a friend took pictures including several where he laid on the ground right up next to the clock tower so he could get a unique perspective :)
Tip: Bezoek dit best 's avonds, dan hebt ge die sjieke view zoals op de foto staat. En dan bezoekt ge overdag Emire State Building. Dan hebt ge zowel overdag als 's nachts een view gehad. Of dan ook nog Chrysler building nodig is, dat weet ik niet.
This ferry is free. It would be a good way of getting a good ( and free ) look at the Statue of Liberty as we go past it. Little point going to Liberty Island itself, as the Statue of Liberty will be closed for renovations when we're there. That said, I'm not sure what there'd be to do on Staten This ferry is free.

We'd probably have to just go straight back to Manhatten on the next one.…see moresee less
such a great view of the statue but also of the new 9/11 buildings going up as well as the end of Manhattan. Parking was on 8 dollars for the day on the Staten Island side. We stayed in NJ.
Great resort with a great spa! JR is right-- it's crucial to get a mountain view bungalow. There are lots of water activities (wind surfing, snorkeling, jet skiiing, SUP, etc) Very cool access to the pacific ocean too.
we stayed here. It was nice... really nice. It's more family-oriented than the St Regis (which is down the beach a few miles, which is where they filmed the movie Couples Retreat btw). It's fairly new and nice. Here's the deal though... once you're on the resort, you're kind of trapped there. Wewe stayed here. It was nice... really nice.

Here's the deal though... once you're on the resort, you're kind of trapped there. We wanted to go see the St Regis, but we couldn't walk down the beach because they said it was private property with guard dogs on it. Also, they wouldn't give us ride over there. Water taxis would only go to the airport and the main town (water taxi was like $40/per person each way to town). I know this because we both got food poisoning the first night we where there (valentines day) and then the hotel doesn't keep even aspirin because of French laws, so bring your own over the counter meds. We had to muster the energy to water taxi into town to go to the pharmacy. When we got there, it was closed because it was a Sunday. So back to our beautiful over the water bungalow to sweat out the food poisoning.... good thing the bungalow was amazing. It's CRUCIAL to get a view of the mountain as far out on the pier as possible. I greased the front desk clerk $100 to make sure we could have a choice or room. She showed us the room we were assigned (which happened to be a great room anyway) so she came back and gave me the $100 back. We split the difference. pros: they had fun activities, but i'm sure all the resorts do. I SUP'd and windsurfed and we snorkeled with sharks and stingrays…see moresee less
While crossing this street after a rain, I slipped and fell in front of oncoming traffic. (it's such a wide street!) Thank heaven the taxi was able to stop. And the pharmacist at a pharmacy nearby bandaged up my elbow. I had braced to be hit by a car and die.

It's touristy - but its actually really cool. I just took my nephew after not having been there for a decade or more. Sorta spendy, but the restaurant up top has done a full 180 and is actually quite good.
Instead of going as a tourist, go when they're having mass or evensong or any other event. The singing there is magical, and you feel part of the place, the history.
Spent a whole day here and could have spent many more. It's not cheap and there's a lot to see so I would start early in the day. The crown jewels are just incredible and everything is displayed so well.
