NYC2NOLA Road Trip 2011

Our Great American Road Trip 2011 is taking us from New York City to New Orleans and we’d love you to follow along! Today we were in Manhattan, New York – with the pictures to prove it…Enjoy!

From a mini self-hosted TV tour of NYC to a fabulous foodie Philly experience, we’re now on stop two of our Great American Road Trip from New York City to New Orleans. Watch this space, as we provide daily updates from each stop. Today we are in Philly!

Yesterday in Philadelphia was all about the food, so today we dedicated ourselves to discovering the role that Philadelphia has played in US history. Both of us knew about the main attractions/events like the Liberty Bell and the signing of the Constitution, but we were actually very surprised to understand just how much of the American way of life is revealed in the city.

Our first of two days in the capital included night bike rides through the neighborhoods, a visit to The White House and seeing the monuments lit up at night.

With the extreme weather of Hurricane Irene and the opening of the Martin Luther King, Jr.memorial, we have had an interesting NYC2NOLA Road Trip day in the U.S. Capital.

The best part of traveling, in particular this current NYC2NOLA road trip, is catching those glimpses of people around the world going about their every day lives…

Day Two in New Orleans brought us from alligators in Louisiana’s wetlands to live jazz on Frenchman Street!

We have arrived at the final destination of our NYC2NOLA Great American Road Trip 2011 – we are in New Orleans and fell immediately in love with this great city!

It took us a while to get a feeling for the city, but it turned out Washington, DC is a pretty cool city, easiest to conquer on two wheels – grab a Cabi bike & conquer DC!

The latest in our Go Beyond series – we urge you to get out and explore the neighborhoods, parks and cemeteries outside the (in)famous Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
