Kerstin Enk and I have never met but we correspond via email all the time. I do business with her company in Germany and she is my contact. She is going to visit the U.S. but we still won’t get to meet. She’ll be in New York for three days and I live in California. But as a former New Yorker, I was happy to give her my tips:

When you are in New York, see a Broadway show at night. Save the daytime for sightseeing. We usually go to the Times Square half-price ticket booth in the late afternoon, get tickets for an evening show and then go get dinner before the show at a restaurant in the theater district. There are lots of restaurants around 42nd Street. It is very lively and safe there at night.

What sights are you hoping to see? Museums? Iconic places like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State building? Perhaps because you are from Europe, you don’t want to go to museums in New York to see European art? The Museum of the City of New York may be of more interest. Like many museums, it’s on 5th Avenue. So is my favorite – the Metropolitan Museum. Its Egyptian wing is fabulous! And the Costume Institute down below is a must for anyone who loves clothes and fashion!

And on that note, the Prada store in Soho is also worth seeing. It was designed by Rem Koolhaas. And admission is free – as long you don’t buy anything. But for all other New York museums and attractions, get yourself  a New York Pass. It’s a smart card that gets you in to over 50 New York museums, shows and attractions without waiting in line or paying admission.

If you plan to visit three attractions a day, a three-day New York Pass will save you $131.40. You can even get discounts for theater tickets and restaurants. Kerstin, you can get additional 2% cash back with a New York Pass coupon on Coupon Cactus. Have fun in New York!

“We want to come for Eric’s Berkeley graduation,” my sister-in-law said. I just about dropped my phone. We’ve lived in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area since the 80s and she’s never come to visit us! True, it’s just us out here. When we used to fly back to New York every summer during the kids’ childhoods, we got to see grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, former neighbors and high school pals. But still. We just happen to have a few things for folks to see besides our adorable children. There’s the Golden Gate Bridge, Napa Valley, Yosemite, Alcatraz, Monterey and a few redwoods here and there.

“Well, that would be very nice,” I weakly replied. Geez, why is she doing this now?  Is it out of guilt? Just because we attended her daughter’s high school and college graduations?  Those shouldn’t count.  Those events just happened to coincide with us being on the East Coast. Molly’s June high school graduation occurred during a summer vacation trip. And four years later, her graduation from a small ivy-covered college was during a very cold and snowy May, just a few days after my father-in-law’s funeral.  My husband figured we may as well stay a few extra days, rent a van, get a hotel room and take my mother-in-law to the graduation to cheer her up.

Luckily, we found a Sleep Inn where we all were very comfortable. The rates were great and yet we felt like we were in a luxury hotel. Our family of five had a super large room with two kings and a roll-away. Nonna Angela had the privacy of a room all to herself.  Best of all were the warm comfortable beds and welcoming breakfast buffet.  We awoke to pastries, hot and cold cereals, eggs, yogurt, fresh fruit and freshly brewed coffee.

“I’ll check if there’s a Sleep Inn near us,” I said as I flipped open my laptop.  Cleverly, I went to the Coupon Cactus website. I got my sister-in-law and her family 2 free nights and 2% cash back by using a Sleep Inn coupon found on Coupon Cactus.  Now to plan the itinerary.

If you have done any travelling then you know that there are an amazing number of hotels and motels to choose from. However, one hotel that I always go back to is Best Western. Best Western, first started in 1946, is actually the world’s largest hotel brand with more than 4,000 hotels in 80 different countries.

Best Western is loved and cherished by its loyal travelers because each hotel is independently owned and operated giving each location its own charming qualities but always providing the same amazing service expected by its experienced and discerning patrons. Best Western is committed to going above and beyond for its guests as is evidenced by providing free high-speed internet access to all its guests. The Best Western uniqueness peeks through its varied locations like one hotel that is a former Napoleon castle and another which rents actual homes as its “rooms”.

If you are planning a trip soon then go to Coupon Cactus and check out the Best Western online coupon and cash back page because there is always something there to save you money. Right now there is a 20% off Best Western coupon for AAA and Gold Crown members and a link for Best Western’s current special offers and promotions not seen elsewhere. Coupon Cactus members also receive an additional 2% cash back on any Best Western booking from us. Please take note that cash back is paid to your Coupon Cactus account after travel has been completed, not at the time of booking. So if you need to book a room for Thanksgiving or Christmas or New Year’s Eve then don’t waste anymore time. Go redeem a Best Western coupon!
