Matthew Mole's top 5 things to do in New York City

There's nothing like a holiday in the Trumplandia to get you wanting to return home busier than a bee on a heavy dose of caffeine.

Which is why we caught up with electro-folk musician Matthew Mole to talk about how the holiday went and his top five New York travel tips.

''The only time I've spent there in the past was based on music; I hadn't allowed myself any time for sightseeing. But the last time I visited I felt like such a tourist," says Mole.

''My top five experiences in no particular order."

1) SPORTS BRO!

We watched a New York Knicks basketball game at Madison Square Garden.

2) THE HIGH LIFE

We really loved going up to the top of the Rockefeller Centre to see the city from on high.

3) CHOONES!

Going to see a live band at an arena was awesome. We saw Twenty One Pilots at the Barclays Centre.

4) PARK OFF

We hung out in Central Park and even went ice-skating there.

5) SUCH A FERRY

We caught the Staten Island ferry to see the Statue of Liberty.
