Day 10 of 14 days of Traveling: New York City

 


                        New York City 


Welcome to day 10 of 14 days of traveling. A place I would love to visit is New York City. I have always wanted to visit New York City, especially me being a marketing major that is normally where I often see many social media marketing jobs located. Three activities that I would love to do is visit the SUMMIT one Vanderbilt experience, Helicopter Tour and Secret Food Tour of Chinatown/ Little Italy. One famous dish I would love to try is the jerk chicken in New York. 



One activity I would love to do is the SUMMIT One Vanderbilt experience, which offers a observation deck, includes three floors that have immersive art, bar and incredible views. I love good scenery, so this would be so amazing to see and a great place to take a few photographs because I love taking pictures as well. Also, perfect thing to do with either a friend or family member 




Second activity I would love to do is go on the New York City helicopter tour. I think this would be so fun. The tour consist of a tour in the sky being able to see Manhattan, catch sight of the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty and Central park plus more. I would absolutely love this because I would love to see the view of New York City and being able to see the amazing view from being above the ground. 





Third activity I would love to do is visit the Secret Food Tour of Chinatown and Little Italy. You will be able to go through Manhattan's most iconic streets, hear the amazing stories and more about the culture. As well as, enjoy unique bites like pizza, cheesecake, dumplings and mochi doughnuts . I think this would be a lovely opportunity and who doesn't love food with tours. I know I do, so I would love to experience this.





A famous dish I would love to try is jerk chicken at Peppa's. I would just love to try it to see if it has a different taste compared to the jerk chicken I often have at home. This jerk chicken is often made with over flame, Peppa's rendition has a charred exterior and vinegar tang. Then, the jerk sauce that it has adds fiery notes of all spice and scotch bonnet pepper. I think this will be pretty delicious and nice to test the taste.

                        New Orleans



Welcome to Day 6 of 14 days of Traveling. A place I would love to travel is New Orleans. I think it would be a nice place to see and I love how they often have different festivals. Three activities I would love to do is visit the New Orleans jazz museum, Mardi Gras World Behind the Scenes Tour and a hands-on cooking class with a local chief. As far as a famous dish goes, I would love to try Cafe Beignet.




One activity I would love to do is visit the New Orleans jazz museum. It is housed in the historic Old U.S Mint, located at the intersection of the French Quarter and the Frenchmen Street. It often emphasizes daily lectures and concerts. In addition, to these different exhibits. I have never been to a jazz museum before; however, I think this would be pretty cool. Also, I would love to learn more about the jazz history in New Orleans and to be able to see different exhibits they offer.



                             



  Second activity I would love to do is visit the Mardi Gras Behind the Scenes Tour.

Third activity I would love to do is take a hands-on cooking class to prepare a meal. I love food, I definitely would be open to learning how to cook a decadent creole cuisine dish. Dishes that consist of jambalaya, seafood gumbo, crab bisque and bananas fosters. I think that would be delicious. Also, working with a local chef from New Orleans  would just be so interesting.




                               
 

    A famous dish I would love to try is Cafe Beignet on Bourbon street. I always wanted to try these, they look so good. I'm always seeing different reels with them and how they are created in New Orleans.  Beignet is always served hot, is the official doughnut of Louisiana, it is topped with powdered sugar and is best paired with a cup of cafe au lait(coffee with milk)

Day 7 of 14 days Traveling: Dubai

                             DUBAI             



Welcome to Day 7 of 14 days of traveling. A place I would love to visit is Dubai. The scenery is really amazing there, I just think it would be a beautiful place to go to. Three activities I would love to do is go to the Dubai Aquarium, Underwater zoo and Mall of Emirates. 



One activity I would love to do is visit the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater zoo. This looks like it would be so much fun. Ever since I was a little girl, I always loved going to the aquarium and zoo. Additionally, the fact that it is built underwater makes it even more fascinating. I would be so curious to see how it is built, the scenery and the animals that they incorporate in this exhibit. Also, it would be a great activity to do amongst family and friends depending on who I visit with.




                          


Second activity that I would love to do is visit the Burj Khalifa. It has several open-air viewing decks and swanky lounges which offer splendid views of the UAE and the Persian Gulf. I think this would be pretty awesome because it is an elevator ride that can allow you to see the Panoramic City's views and scenery. Additionally, for it to be a record breaking skyscraper in Dubai, I believe that would make it an even worthwhile experience. 




Third activity that I would love to visit is the Mall of Emirates. I love to shop, I would love to see the diverse dining and cinema scenery that they have in it. As well as, what stores that they have and to see do they offer more than what I normally see at other malls I have visited.  I think this would be my most favorable activity due to this being one of my favorite hobbies.


                                      




A famous dish I would love to try is Shish Tawook. This is a kebab meal that is on a stick.

It is made with chicken, yogurt, garlic oil, lemon juice and a variety of spices. The spices consist of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon, allspice, oregano, cayenne pepper and salt/pepper. Additionally, the chicken contains skinless chicken breast or thighs, the yogurt is used to tenderize the chicken, the garlic is used to add a lil flavor. I think this would be delicious considering how much I love chicken. But, also would be a unique dish for me because I never had a kebab that features yogurt.

Definitely would be taking lots of photos way up in the air.

Day 5 of 14 Days of Traveling: Hawaii

 


                                Hawaii 



 Welcome to the fifth day of  14 days of Traveling.  A place I would love to visit is Hawaii, I love the scenery and the view. I think it would be pretty awesome to go there. Three activities I would love to do is the Magical Mystery Show at Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel, Paradise Cove Luau and Sunset Whale Watch. As far as, famous dish, I would love to try the Malasada.



First activity I would love to do is visit the Magical mystery show at Hilton Waikiki Hotel. I think it would be pretty interesting to see a magic show, eat dinner and see captivating art with great scenery. Considering, I have not been to a magic show in years, I honestly forgot what tricks they normally have. But, this would definitely be something I would look forward to 

                            

       



Another Activity I would love to do is visit the Paradise Cove Lua, to see the traditional ceremonies, arts, crafts and games. This will allow me to learn more about the culture in Hawaii. Although, It is a trip for fun, I would love to be able to learn more about the history. As well as, learn a few of their moves. This would be a perfect activity for me.



    


Third Activity I would love to do would be the Sunset whale watch in Waikiki. I honestly love whales and sunsets so this would be so exciting to me. As well as, gives me a chance to see how the whales behave in the water in Hawaii, it could be different to the ones you see in the shows at the Shedd Aquarium. 





Lastly, a famous dessert dish I would love to try is Malasada. This is a ball of yeasty dough that they fry and cover it with sugar. Many times they decide to stuff it with fruit or cream or chocolate. I'm not a fan of filling in my doughnuts and so I would just try the dough. It has a unique name as well.
