Top NYC Places to Visit
Home of the Today show, The Tree!, NBC and the place where Home Alone 2 had Kevin see his mom again! I love visiting here whenever I go to the city if I’m above 30th street
Rockefeller Center | NYC's Famous Cultural Landmark ...
Walking from 12th Street to 32nd Street or the opposite direction, it is awesome because you walk along an old train station above the traffic so you can enjoy a nice walk and not deal with cars. They have seating here so you can grab a coffee and re...
The High Line
It really is a beautiful building. Right next to the Oculus and the 9/11 memorial.
One World Trade Center
The museum and the memorial are one of the most breath taking spots in New York. It took me 10 plus years to come here and say goodbye to a family friend who was lost that horrible day. The staff here were helpful in assisting me find their name.

9/11 Memorial & Museum
The architecture is just mesmerizing. The shops inside are some of the best. Taking a train here and walking through is just something different. You know you are downtown but you don’t feel like you are
Oculus World Trade Center
So many places to be alone and just take in the beauty of Central Park. I love sitting close to Alice in Wonderland or Hans Christian Anderson. But there really are so many places to be able and enjoy nature in the heart of nyc.
Central Park
Per Se, Williams Sonoma, Whole Foods, Prada, and so many more places are home here! If you go across the street Jean Georges is there also. The subway below the mall is home to a mini hall of shops and street foods.
The Shops at Columbus Circle: Columbus Circle Mall
Too many tourists for me but I usually go here for concerts, visit friends and a handful of restaurant along the side streets! Shoot me a message if you ever go! I’d love to recommend some.
Times Square
The heart of the New York skyline! It is so beautiful here especially at night seeing all the lights as far as the eye can see
Empire State Building
Home of those talented Rocketts. Their show is so fun and beautiful. Talented women is an understatement. I saw my first concert here when I was 8.
Radio City Music Hall | Official Site | New York City
Best view of lower manhattan. I love how beautiful it is.
Statue of Liberty
It is one of the most iconic bridges. Every one knows this bridge. It is breathtaking. The brick work is beautiful and the site of Manhattan on the east side from Brooklyn is beautiful, especially at night. Walking across this bridge toward Brooklyn ...
Brooklyn Bridge
The Best NYC Food Places
Best Cheese Shop Ever!!! Been coming here for over 15 years!!! I love it. Have the cheese curds it is my fave snack here
Murray's Cheese
My favorite ramen spot in New York. The spicier the better. And don’t wear light colors. Also get anything yuzu and get the shishito peppers
IPPUDO NY
Home of MLB and Food Network. They have some amazing little shops here. Fresh produce, wine, milk, meat, food, clothes, kitchen stuff. I love this one stop shop. I’ve seen Tyler Florence here a lot
Chelsea Market
Best grilled cheese! The truffle n buffalo chicken are my favorites. Don’t forget the tots
Melt Shop
Hands down the best German food in Queens. Their dishes are very filling I always end up with leftovers and honestly I don’t hate that.
Zum Stammtisch
Favorite hangout for my friends and I after a long day at work or after a concert. Great beer selection didn’t hurt either
The Mean Fiddler
Devil Wears Prada was filmed here! Andy’s boyfriend worked here and I did too! Everything is made in house and fresh. Can’t get a better pie here. Their burgers are also really good
Bubby's
Sugar and original chocolate chip are my favorites! I love to try the new flavors too but can never go wrong with classics
DŌ, Cookie Dough Confections
Concert Venues
Small but awesome venue. I have seen countless shows here and each one was amazing.
Webster Hall
I’ve seen some amazing bands here. From the front to the back all the shows I have seen here were great. I always have fun. Never sat in the seats though
Hammerstein Ballroom at Manhattan Center
Bars to Have a Good Time
These are my favorite bars I think you would enjoy for atmosphere, beverage options and entertainment.
Light or dark beer?!? Can’t go wrong with either! You pay for 2 beers at a time. I love the light beer and I love coming here with friends
McSorley’s Old Ale House
Home to the Coyote Ugly from the movie! I have always had a good time downtown and this is a regular spot to have a beer or two and enjoy the fellow patrons. Plus the entertainment isn’t half bad so get on that bar if they ask
Coyote Ugly New York
Museums to Visit
My favorite museum in New York City! I have always made this my tradition to visit here once a year. After all I know the father and son team who built the planetarium.
American Museum of Natural History
The museum and the memorial are one of the most breath taking spots in New York. It took me 10 plus years to come here and say goodbye to a family friend who was lost that horrible day. The staff here were helpful in assisting me find their name.
