Anybody can comment if Woodbury Premium outlets are still worth going if I'm already going to Vegas and Orlando ones?

Woodbury is full of ah tiongs... Buffalo's fashion outlet is quiet... I shopped at ease there without having to squeeze with them...

Haha I guess the world is full of ahtiongs everywhere. The transport to Woodbury isn't cheap so not sure if it's worth.

Tiong are rich today, 10 yrs ago are jap everywhere.

If Indian as rich as tiong u find them every where too.

Want to shop with ease without tourist cannot on Vegas or Woodbury outlet. Must go further ie buffalo. Transport from NYC to buffalo would cost more! Lol

Popular items maybe hard to find sizes esp u are shopping clearance

Haha and the world's most expensive holiday was purchased by a Chinese man. Okay with tourists, just whether the buys are worth the travelling and price paid to go there, especially the time that could be spent in NYC instead.

Patryn, any must try restaurants in NYC? Waaay too many on the tripadvisor restaurant's list.

BTW, there is another factory outlet called Tanger Outlet near NY. Tanger Outlets: Riverhead, New York :: Home

Think woodbury is more popular though. I've never been to both so donno which is better. See lots of buses to both from Flushing though

Hi people,

I am considering going to LA in aug/sept period.

I would like to visit my friend in South Carolina. Was wondering if I should take a flight over from LA or travel by bus through the states and visit different places along the way?

Anyone has experience on travelling through the states by bus? Roughly how much is the cost and how long would it take? a week?

when are you coming to NY? If want to try out variety of food, there are some street food festivals that are great. easier to sample esp if you are with group of friends.

I no $ to go celebrity chef restaurants so cannot rec those. see what cuisine u like bah

Ive only travelled by bus between NY-Toronto, NY-Philly, NY-Washington. All quite ok. The buses are clean n got wifi so can surf etc. Cost depends on when you book. As for how long, depends on whether u intend to keep it slow? If you have limited time in US, might be best to take a flight to save time.

I always intend to go Boston but end up go else where.

June can still go smorsgarboard. food supposed to be quite good. Locations « Brooklyn Flea

If May, can go MadSquare Eats. I went last autumn n really enjoyed it.

Eataly is nice but the food is pricy. You tell me what you like, I see if I can rec or not lor.

By the way do you think it's viable to take a day trip to philly? I've a train leaving for boston from NYC at 240am. Not sure if I should spend the day in philly or just stay in NYC.

 

[Hisashiburi]

There is really nothing much to see and do in philly

Time is not an issue for me. Intending to greyhound across and maybe pop by a few states for fun.

Anyways internal flight-wise, what would be a rough estimate of the cost?

Also I wanna ask around how much is it for round trip from singapore to LA? Intending to go in August and come back October.

I would spend a day there check out liberty bell and the sites around it.

Different dates different price, do your est on kayak.com

I like Amtrak over greyhound.

Only amtrak offer passes, do your math to see which work out better. Greyhound discontinued the pass last yr.
Take the Trains across America with the USA Rail Pass | Amtrak

Depends on how many days you are already spending in NYC. If have time, I think Philly is a great place to visit. We really enjoyed our short time there. Like Reading market and we did the usual touristy stuff of seeing the liberty bell and other historical sites. Their Little Italy was interesting too. Quite a lot of nice small shops. On our last day, we took a tour of the Masonic Lodge there and it was an eye-opener. V ornate inside.

Sorry, I've never taken flight from SG-LA so cannot comment. Think shouldn't be more than 2K? Really not sure. Internal flight wise, I've also not taken but think flights shouldn't be more than a few hundreds bah.

ya, heard some amtrak journeys can be quite fun. Can see lots of nice scenery. but more ex than greyhound? But still want to take a cross country ride on amtrak one day

I would have spent 4 days in NYC, and it's not my first time there. But definitely wouldn't mind staying back to catch 1-2 more shows/musicals before leaving. I'm female so not sure if travelling to philly alone is a good idea or whether it's better to follow a day tour (pricey at 159USD). That being said, I'll be alone in Boston too
