After performing in a show in New Jersey, Maxene Magalona and her mom Pia took a side trip to the Big Apple to see some of the most famous landmarks and popular movie sites. Since it was also Maxene's first time in New York, she made sure to enjoy everything from the food, people, shopping, culture, and scenery. They also made time to visit relatives and old friends from Manila as well as meeting random fellow kababayans who asked her to pose for photos.
Some of the places they visited included the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, Grand Central Station, the Soho district, Broadway, the Statue of Liberty, and posing in front of locations from famous movies like When Harry Met Sally, Serendipity, and You've Got Mail, plus TV shows like Friends and Gossip Girl.
