Turns out blogger on an iPad is completely shit. So you'll have to bare with me.

3. We took a visit to brooklyn brewery for a taste of the culture in the local town. Admittedly the tour is not much of tour but more of a story telling situation but it's free and it was great. The bar was the main highlight, it was very traditional with wooden benches and beer barrels as tables. Definitely worth having a visit.

Viva toro - $5 frozen margaritas or mojitos, insanely good.
Radegast hall and beer garden - Drinking from giant steins in true German tradition.
The Charlestom - $5 for a beer and a personal pizza
Barcade - a bar with a shit load of arcade games!
Matchless - 241 on a lot of drinks. Also a real nice photo booth.

4. Free tours food tasting

We were told about this company called "free tours by foot" which provide a lot of different types of tours across the world. And the great thing is you pay whatever you like. I would highly recommend the food tours as you get to eat at the great places your shown around as well as learning about the history of the area too. We ended up trying some of the most incredible classics of New York. If you're travelling anywhere in the world this is something you definitely should do. It helped us get our bearings around the city and learn a bit of the culture.

Mamouns falafel
Artechoke pizza
Banthum bagels
Bleecker street pizza

Other great food places -

Brooklyn Mac - insanely good macaroni cheese
Action burgers - comic book themed burger joint. Very retro.
Pies and thighs - good hearty fried chicken
Vinnies pizza - great for when your pissed after a night out.
Kellogs dinner - open 24hrs this is the ultimate American diner
Bagel smith - also open 24hrs this place does pretty darn good bagels.
Baohaus - Eddie huangd little Chinese den

365. Travel diary. NYC.

 Nikki and I are embarking on a six month adventure around, our first stop being New York city. Having a very small budget I'll be giving tips along the way on how you can make the most of travelling on little to no money. New York was inevitably going to be expensive, so we booked an apartment via airbnb. Staying in the heart of williamsburg in Brooklyn this is known as the cool hip area but it's also pretty safe and a sweet town. Anyways I will be documenting my travels through photos and adding any tips along the way.

New York public library and grand central station.

Both totally free and both iconic parts of New York city. The buildings are incredible and super opulent, definitely worth a visit. The New York public library also do free tours, which was actually really good.Nsuch sunning architecture and history the buildings were made from marble and really highlighted the beauty of nyc. We also had to check out times square which was completely mental.

Output

So we decided to check out the nightlife in williamsburg. Having a friend that works on the door at one of the trendiest venues we were lucky enough to go and see girl unit and leatherette. It's a cool club to head to if you fancy some good DJs and a little boogie. I have to highlight they have an insane rooftop which is open at night.

Arlenes grocery

One of the guys we rented the room from took us to this place. It's kind of a hip hop jazz bar located in the lower east side. It had a really cool vibe, pretty cool and relaxed. The best part was the live music, with a full band on stage and a live DJ it was some of the best live music I've heard seeing as we didn't have to pay to get in. Live amateur rappers jammed along swapping the mic to other fellow rappers. They were insanely good and definitely didn't sound like amateurs. Definitely recommend.
