Any good travel tips for NYC and California? (Hotels, restaurants, places to visit other than standard tourist traps?) Visiting from Europe for 10-12 days at the end of Feb/beginning of March. Planning to spend 3-4 days in NYC and then head to California, might drive from San Fran to LA stopping along the way. FWIW we will be travelling as a couple. Any tips would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏽

Stop at Santa Barbara, amazing vibe

like

second Santa Barbara - spend few hours

Drive the Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1) at least partially. The scenery is amazing!

Def second this. Also check out Big Sur and matador beach

Equinox Hotel is my fav in NYC, by far. nothing compares overall for experience.

super nice! but for overall sleep comfort, amenities, etc.; eqx wins out every time.

Santa Cruz is good

Seconded! Carmel-by-the-sea is also a nice place to visit, very nearby

I'm sure you'll end up at times square, like 3 streets up on the same avenue is a great strip club it's called Sapphire

You need to go to NyC during Spring time

The best place to stay would be in Manhattan. You can easily get to the main attractions and sites like the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station

Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.
