re: Honeymoon question, 1 night in NYC before Bermuda

Maybe not for you or OP. I just know I wouldn't be in the mood to PIIHB after that, which is the point of a honeymoon.

NYC is a horrible choice for a honeymoon or part of a honeymoon in any way. I grew up in upstate NY and spent plenty of time in NYC, so maybe I see it different. Even though movies try to make you feel like it is, it is not a romantic place for a destination.

With the removal of the Broadway shows per the OP, for pure romantic life I would take a walk through the park, have a fancy dinner and spend the rest of the time in the bedroom. If they are wanting to be a tourist though, you might as well visit one of the 5 main landmarks there. It might be more digestible to you by adding the One World Observatory at the same time, I mean I would if you are down there and would be better than ESB.

Unleashing AI though

For part of a honeymoon? Nah, skip it.

I agree. I haven't been to it, but a little over a month after the Oklahoma City bombing, I was there and saw the site of the imploded building. There was a hurricane fence around it filled with stuffed animals, notes and other things. There were flowers and candles. A lot of it was obviously left by loved ones of the victims. It was stunningly moving and sullen. It affected everyone's moods.

Some years later, we visited the memorial which is very well done, but so very sad. Seeing the empty chairs was emotional.

This wouldn't be something I'd do on a happy short trip. I do it when there for more time, though.

when you get to bermuda go to the swizzle inn. The last time i was there, they had 2 locations. One on the northern part of the island by the airport and the second in the sourthern end of the island by the navel base.

you dive or snorkel around any of the 100s of ship wrecks
