6 Ways to See New York Without the Tourist Traps

New York City (NYC) has never been shy about putting on a show. While tourists flock to the same photo spots, the city reveals its real magic when you know where to look. From sky-high thrills to world-class art, here are 6 ways to experience the Big Apple without feeling like just another face in the crowd.

Start with the city’s eternal icon: the Statue of Liberty. Standing 93 meters tall on Liberty Island, Lady Liberty is more than a monument. It is a statement of freedom that greets millions who arrive by sea and sky. Whether you cruise past her at golden hour, circle overhead in a helicopter, or stand beneath her towering presence, the encounter is unforgettable. A tour starts at about S$37 on Klook.com.

For a more atmospheric view, trade the sidewalks for the Hudson River. A sunset cruise sets the stage for New York’s nightly transformation, with the city’s icons such as the One World Trade Center, Empire State Building, Ellis Island, and the Brooklyn Bridge glowing as day dissolves into night. The experience distills the skyline into pure theatre and proves why New York is the city that never sleeps.

No trip to New York feels complete without Broadway. I, for one, am in love with the theatre! With more than 40 stages showcasing everything from The Lion King to Moulin Rouge and Wicked, Broadway remains an institution of spectacle. Ticket prices typically start from S$78 to S$152, an investment in memories that last longer than any souvenir.

If you prefer being inside the show instead of watching it, The Edge delivers an adrenaline rush with a view. Suspended 100 stories in the air, this glass-floored observation deck dares you to look straight down while floating above Manhattan’s grid. Frameless glass walls tilt you outward into the skyline, offering a panorama that feels surreal. Tickets start at S$43, and for many, the thrill is worth every cent.

When the noise of the city grows too loud, Central Park offers its counterpoint. This sprawling oasis in the heart of Manhattan invites you to slow down, whether with a guided audio tour for about S$19 or by simply wandering its winding paths for free. The park’s bridges, sculptures, and lakes tell stories of a city constantly reinventing itself and walking through it feels like breathing in New York’s softer side.

Finally, step indoors at the Museum of Modern Art, where art history lives and breathes. Nearly 200,000 works line its walls, from van Gogh’s The Starry Night to Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans. Each masterpiece feels intimate, almost defiant, in a city built on movement. Admission starts at S$38.

From the grandeur of Liberty to the intimacy of brushstrokes, the NYC proves that its best attractions do not just live up to the hype as they redefine it.

All You Need to Know About the F1 Singapore Grand Prix 2025

Anyone with even a passing passion for Formula 1 likely has their calendar marked for the return of the F1 Singapore Grand Prix, where the world’s best drivers and some of the biggest names in entertainment will converge from October 3 to 5, 2025.

More than a race, this event has become one of Singapore’s defining spectacles, blending high-octane motorsport with culture and unforgettable nightlife. With stars such as Elton John, G-Dragon, CL, Foo Fighters, and Alan Walker taking the stage, the Grand Prix promises as much energy off the track as on it.

At the heart of the action lies the Marina Bay Street Circuit, an iconic track known for its tight corners, dramatic turns, and humid night conditions that test even the most seasoned drivers. The 2025 season brings added anticipation, with McLaren drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris currently leading the championship rankings ahead of Max Verstappen from Red Bull Racing. Each victory earns 25 points, meaning the Singapore race could very well tip the scales of the championship battle. For fans, ticket prices start at S$148, though most categories have already sold out. Limited availability remains for select days, with Saturday tickets priced at S$248 and bundled Friday–Saturday passes at S$328.

Tickets are sold here.

Yet the Singapore Grand Prix extends far beyond the circuit. The city transforms into a festival of speed and sound, with events and experiences that amplify the atmosphere. The Groovedriver Festival returns with stacked stages at Suntec Plaza and South Beach Tower, spotlighting rising regional acts and global names such as Henry Moodie, Shaun, and an all-female DJ line-up featuring Licaxxx, Molly Lin, and Sarah Farina.

Those seeking a different rhythm can look to Sekai no Owari. This Japanese pop sensation brings their Phoenix Asia Tour to Singapore for one night only on October 4, performing hits like “SOS” from Attack on Titan and “The Peak” from One Piece. Tickets start at S$168.

Art lovers will find their lane at Gillman Barracks, where Mizuma Gallery hosts Art Bit Matrix – Tokusatsu to Videogame. Featuring a dozen Japanese creators, the exhibition delves into the interplay of character design and special effects to offer a contemporary counterpoint to the adrenaline of the track.

No Grand Prix season in Singapore would be complete without a visual spectacle, and Marina Bay Sands delivers with its nightly light-up from September 29 to October 5 at 7:00 to 11:59 pm. The skyline glows in vivid red while the Scuderia Ferrari HP Show Car, displayed at Marina Bay Sands Hotel Tower 1, invites fans to get up close with one of the sport’s icons.

Lastly, those who prefer indulgence through dining can enjoy the Resorts World Sentosa’s “Thrills of the Track” running from September 26 to October 5. Signature dishes such as the Pole Position Arroz Chaufa and the Circuit de Chocolat give race week a gourmet spin.

Ultimate Guide to Securing Endorsements in Singapore

In our competitive job market, the way you leave a company can be just as important as the way you join it. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) does not legally require employers to provide a testimonial or endorsement when an employee resigns. However, in practice, presenting one can greatly influence how you are perceived by future employers.

Whether it comes as a written testimonial, a LinkedIn recommendation, or a reference letter, a well-prepared endorsement can become one of your strongest career assets.

BE TIMELY

Singapore labor law provides clear rules on notice periods and salary obligations during offboarding. When it comes to endorsements, however, there is no statutory requirement. Testimonials are generally extended as a courtesy, and employees who ask in a timely and professional manner are more likely to receive one. The best moment to request a reference is right after your resignation has been accepted, when professional respect and goodwill are still intact.

BE PROFESSIONAL

An effective endorsement focuses on your contributions, skills, and work ethic rather than personal opinions. In Singapore’s tight-knit industries, references that are vague or overly casual can be viewed with skepticism. Strong endorsements highlight measurable achievements, leadership qualities, and adaptability within diverse workplace environments.

BE PREPARED

Be prepared to ask which type or types of endorsements you will need in the future. Types include formal testimonial letter, LinkedIn recommendation, and referral contact.

Formal Testimonial Letter is issued on company letterhead and signed by a manager or HR officer. This format carries the most weight with prospective employers. Next, LinkedIn Recommendation is highly valued in sectors such as finance, technology, and marketing. In these sectors, digital presence influences hiring decisions. Lastly is referral contract. In certain cases, a direct introduction or verbal reference from a former manager can be more persuasive than a written letter.

BE GRATEFUL

The manner in which you request an endorsement can shape how it is written. Always approach the conversation with gratitude and professionalism. Instead of framing it as a demand, position it as a recognition of your shared professional experience. For example: “As I move forward in my career, I would truly appreciate if you could provide a testimonial reflecting my contributions here. Your perspective would mean a lot to me.”

Although employers are not legally bound to issue references, many understand that balanced and accurate testimonials reflect positively on their own reputation. A well-written reference is factual and avoids any defamatory remarks. So, don’t be afraid to ask for one! Securing fair endorsements can help you open new opportunities and strengthen your long-term professional brand. Good luck!
