Webpage:  http://www.juniorscheesecake.com/ Address: 1515 Broadway, NYC One of the more famous cheesecakes in NYC, which started out in Brooklyn is Junior's.  It feels the same as Cheesecake factory but my friend insists that they use less sugar and taste better than Cheesecake. Red Velvet Cheese Cake - Love this cake! Devilish Cheese Cake - too much chocolate but perfect for Choco lovers! Raspberry Swirl - just the right amount of cheesecake and raspberry

Pam's Real Thai Food @NYC

Webpage: http://www.pamrealthai.com/ Address: 404 West 49th Street Food rating: 4.5 out of 5 Overall Comment: Not a pretentious kind of restaurant, just a simple restaurant at an affordable price but with really good Thai food.  This is one place that I will definitely come back for more Thai Food.  The food was relatively cheap as well, we only paid 16 bucks each (including tip).  It was something like around 55 dollars for fried rice (shrimp paste), duck curry, crispy pork with basil, papaya salad, and 3 orders of Thai Iced tea. Papaya Salad - well, it's the normal Thai Papaya salad -- meaning it is good! Crispy Pork with Basil - I'm a sucker for Basil and Pork, especially when it is crispy, so definitely, this is one of my favorites!  Duck Curry - I like the Duck and it goes well with the curry.  Wasn't that hot as well so I liked it.. but if you like spicy, you can prolly ask them to make it really spicy. Fried Rice with Shrimp Paste

Duration:  around 40 minutes from Times Square Definitely one of the big Tennis competitions, the US Open is one of the things which are in my bucket list.  I have been to Roland Garros (French) and Wimbledon and it seems that US open seems to be 'less' exciting and crowded than both.  But at any rate, it was still very very very fun! Tips: If you are a USTA member (US tennis association), you can try checking if you can get into a different gate.  The line/queue can be a bit long but they sometimes have USTA member appreciation weekend that will allow you to easily get into the stadium without the long queue. Spend some time going around as you will get a lot of freebies.  Check out the big sponsors.  In 2015, they were giving mobile chargers for Chase card members, an
