... 'i want to wake up in that city'...
and i did exactly that this past weekend. the few days there were spent visiting with friends: tasting around town [food and cocktails/brews]: walking and more walking: and doing just some good ole' New York tourist things.
to keep it short and sweet, here are 10 things i highly recommend for your next trip to the big apple.
1. visit a rooftop bar at night. unless it's raining, the view will not disappoint. we went here and had this spectacular photo moment. amazing, right?!
2. choose a museum and visit on a hot or rainy day. we visited the MET and loved walking around this huge house of art and history. i've also been told the guggenheim is a good one.
3. ladies, pack a pair of flats and large purse. wear the flats while walking then slip the heels on at your evening destination. trust me, it saved my feet.
4. our group of four would probably concur these restaurants were lip lickin' good.
Tipsy Parson : make a reservation and order anything. it's all delish.
The Meatball Shop : an excellent lunch spot. save room for dessert!
Southern Hospitality : all you can drink mimosas for $15.00 and it's owned by JT.
The Grey Dog : cool ambiance, rad food. the owners are michigan fans. #goblue ?
5. walk in grand central station. not only is it beautiful, it's so organized and clean for a subway hub.
6. take a stroll and grab a cocktail in central park. it's so beautiful and for a brief second, one would forget it's in the middle of the largest US city.
7. unless kids are involved, avoid times square. it's dirty: loud: crowded: and honestly not much to see. it's a visit once and avoid going back part of the city. sorry, times square!
8. catch the subway to the 9/11 memorial downtown. the fountains built for a memorial are breathtaking and so symbolic. that area will tug on your heart.
9. book a broadway show! we saw matilda [kid friendly!] and like any broadway show, i smiled the entire time.
10. a few years ago i went up in the empire state building and it's totally awesome! this trip our friends went to the 'top of the rock' and had a spectacular morning view of the city.
are you dreaming of a visit to NYC? what will you make a must-see? do tell!
