In this plan, you'll drive a jet ski around the NYC Harbor to experience some of the most stunning views ever. After that, you'll grab one of the best grandma-style slices in NYC

Here's your plan for a Jet Ski tour around NYC Harbor and a delicious pizza afterward

Jet Ski Adrenaline Adventure to the Statue of Liberty

At Empire City Watersports, enjoy a thrilling Jet Ski tour around NYC Harbor, viewing landmarks like the Statue of Liberty without requiring a license.

Jet Ski Tour

✅ Before you go
• Book your Jet Ski Tour here: https://empirecitywatersports.com/jetski-tour-rental-schedule/
• We did the Statue of Liberty Tour, which lasts approximately 90 minutes, and prices start at $269. We explored the NYC Harbor and saw the Statue, downtown Manhattan, Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, and DUMBO.
• You can choose different times for your tour. We went early in the day (8 am), and it was great because the day wasn't too hot.
• You don't need to have a license to drive the Jet Ski, but you need to be at least 18 years old.
• They will send you a waiver to fill out before your tour. You don't have to print it, but make sure you don't forget to sign it online!
• If you do the tour, don't forget to tip your guide!

💪 Pro tips
• Since you'll be in the water for a while, it can get pretty chilly. I wore a thin jacket that was wind and water-resistant, and it helped me a lot! I highly suggest wearing one!
• I've mentioned these water shoes before, and I need to recommend them again: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088F9MNQX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . They have different sizes, colors, patterns, and you can get them for less than $10!

Head to Empire City Watersports

At L&B Spumoni Gardens, enjoy iconic Sicilian pizza and traditional Spumoni dessert, along with indoor and outdoor seating options.

Dining Experience

✅ Before you go
• We went on a Friday around 12 pm, and we didn't make reservations but got seated right away.
• They offer an outdoor seating area if you want just pizzas and spumoni, and an indoor area with waiter service for pizzas and the restaurant.

💪 Pro tips
• They are famous for the silician (or grandma-style) slice, we had it and it was game-changing. It is a MUST try! I promise you won't regret it!
• You gotta get some Spumoni for dessert as well!

Grab a Meal at L&B Spumoni Gardens

Did you know you can take a jet ski to the Statue of Liberty? In this plan

We are going on an adrenaline filled tour around New York

City and ending with one of the best pizzas in Brooklyn.

Our adventure began with Empire City Watersports and our guide, Vin, got us set up

and explained everything we needed for a morning full of thrills. Once out on the water,

The rush began, and we saw the New York Harbor like never before. The unique view

of the Statue of Liberty and Dumbo made the whole trip for me.

After a few hours of pure fun, we got pretty hungry and headed to the legendary

L&B Spumoni Gardens. This Italian restaurant has been serving their signature

Sicilian slice since the 1950s, and honestly, 

It is the best square slice I've ever had.

Their other traditional dishes and Spumoni are a must try

So if you're looking for a fun day full of unforgettable New York view,

Cake Decorating

✅ Before you go
• Find a class here: https://lu.ma/reccreatecollective 

💪 Pro tips
• Make sure you go to Grand AVE, not Grand Street
• Make sure to share any allergies or restrictions in advance (our cakes were vegan!)

Head to RecCreate Collective

I finally went to the viral cake decorating workshop I've been

seeing online and made myself a cute little Lorex looking cake.

which is a cake decorating workshop in Brooklyn

hosted by this creativity studio called Recreate Collective,

where you get to be creative and get a sweet treat,

which I'm not sure what took me so long to go.

you're free to decorate your cake however you want.

One of the girls was saying how fun it was doing the things our parents never let us do,

They also have solo days where everyone comes solo with the idea of making friends,

which I definitely want to come back for.

And when I said you get a sweet treat at the end,

I mean you literally get a slice of cake on top of the cake you've decorated.

you get to have your cake and eat it too.

I highly recommend going to one of their classes or events,

as this was one of my favorite classes to date.

Head to The Chatwal Lodge

This weekend we stay at the most beautiful room I've ever seen,

every moment here felt so precious and relaxing

the Chatwal Lodge is tucked away in the Catskills and with only 14 boutique rooms,

and the most gorgeous bathtub I've ever seen.

We didn't have to plan a thing and the meals were fresh,

Each day we received a calendar of activities to choose from,

so we decided to level up our bartending skills at

a mixology class which turned out to be Vik's favorite,

and relaxed during an afternoon yoga session.

Every night the team prepared our room for the perfect wind down moment.

and sweet personalized touches to help you fully relax.

especially if you're looking for a luxurious

escape that feels both homey and intimate.

So share this with someone you need to escape

with and follow me for more unique getaways.
