The Restaurants I Love
NYC has amazing restaurants, and these are just a few I would personally recommend you stopping at.
Carmine's is a favorite of mine every time I come to New York. Their Fried Calamari and Penne Alla Vodka are my go-to meal.
Carmine's Italian Restaurant | Order Delivery & Take-Out Now - NYC
This is probably the best Pizzeria in NYC. The history of the building itself is so fascinating as well!
John's Pizzeria of Times Square | New York | 260 West 44th Street ...
This diner offers a unique restaurant dining experience, where the staff sing in the diner as they're serving you! I loved this experience while I was there. I'd definitely go back again.
Ellen's Stardust Diner
What Makes NYC Special
These are the things that make NYC a unique place to visit.
Central Park is definitely a place you need to go to while you're in New York, even if it's just for a quick stop. They even have a zoo!
Central Park
This is an iconic bridge that is located between Manhattan and Brooklyn. I had the chance to walk on this bridge when I last went to New York.
Brooklyn Bridge
I went to NYC this past November (2023), and had the chance to see the balloons being blown up the day before the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade! It was such a cool thing to see in person, and I recommend taking the time to stop and see this if you'r...
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
This is the original Macy's store. If you love shopping to Macy's already, this is a must-do while you're in New York.
Macy's
I actually had the chance to go through this experience the last time I was here in New York. It features real props and costumes from the show, as well as photo opportunities just like what was on the show. I really enjoyed this experience when I we...
The FRIENDS™ Experience: The One in New York City
I went to this museum during while the Taylor Swift: Storyteller exhibit was being showcased. It was so cool getting to see outfits and instruments from past music videos and tours, as well as her own handwritten lyrics on the walls of the room.
Museum of Arts and Design
I've personally never been able to get a reservation for this place, but I know people who have been here, and every one of them agree that it is a must-do, if you're able to snag a reservation before they all get taken (those reservations go quick!)...
Blue Box Café by Daniel Boulud
I can't make a list about NYC and leave off Times Square! This is definitely a go-to, especially because the hotels I stay at while in the city are usually located in Times Square.
Times Square NYC
Broadway Shows I Want To See (Again)
I love Broadway! I recommend these shows to go see, whether you're in New York, or they come to your area on a national tour.
This is such an amazing musical! When I went to see it, I was floored at how good it was. Would definitely go see again.
Hamilton
Wicked has been on Broadway for so long, that I'm sure I don't even need to recommend it, but it's the one I've seen the most. I love this musical so much, and it's always a wonderful show, so I would see it whenever I get the chance.
Wicked
