My First Trip to NYC
16
items I recently took my first trip to NYC and I loved it! I was only there for a long weekend and I can't wait to go back. Here's a list of everything I did or used. I hope this helps someone else plan their trip!
My first time seeing a show on Broadway and wow! A crisp 80 minute whirlwind of fun songs, history, and women reclaiming their identities outside of the man they all married. I'm still bopping to the soundtrack :)
SIX: The Musical on Broadway
I had Kofta for the first. Delicious. A delightful mezcal margarita as well :)
Qanoon
They are not kidding about NY taking its bagels seriously! I ordered an everything bagel with plain cream cheese. It was about the size of my head and simply divine.
Broad Nosh Bagels
I really enjoyed the view from the top!

Our hotel was down the street from MoMA and I jumped at the chance to go. WOW! This is a beautifully designed museum on the inside, not to mention all of the amazing art.

We were shopping in Soho when we found ourselves in front of this restaurant. We walked right in and felt transported back in time (in a good way!!). The food was superb and we had fun looking at the photos of all the famous people who have eaten the...
Ballato's NYC
Seeing the Statue of Liberty at night was stunning. We got lucky with the weather. It was a clear night and not too chilly.

I was worried Top of the Rock would be too similar to the Empire State Building. It was similar, but had enough uniqueness to it that it felt worth the visit.

We found this adorable gift shop after exiting Top of the Rock. I picked up 4 things here- 2 for the kids and 2 for me!

We hopped in this shop because a friend wanted to check it out. There was a delightful Gucci coat. If only it hadn't been $3,800.
INA Designer Consignment
My friend is a thrifter so we jumped in here. I didn't find anything I wanted, but my friend did!
New York - NoHo - Buffalo Exchange
I used this service to go to and from the airport. I didn't want to mess with the subway by myself with luggage on my first trip. They were prompt, kind, and the cars were super clean.
Daisy Limousine
We found ourselves looking for snacks to keep in our hotel and ended up here. I bought some chocolate chip cookies that were made locally and they were fabulous.
The Food Emporium | Local Healthy Living | Supermarket | New York
I love bread so this was the place for me! I ordered a cheese pastry, a plain croissant, and a mocha. I cannot say enough good things about how tasty it all was. I only wish I had also bought a chocolate croissant for later haha.
