It’s always a fun experience going on the ferry to visit the statue. It’s cool to also see the city from a distance.

We are huge Harry Potter fans and it made sense to visit the Harry Potter store in NYC. They had a lot of cool merch and a cafe on the side.

Starbucks reserves are always fun as they have a larger selection of food and drink items in comparison to a regular Starbucks.

This was my first time getting products at an Aesop store in NYC and I fell in love with this brand. The quality and packaging is top notch. Customer service was great and they let you make sure you make the right decision before purchasing.
