THINGS TO DO IN NYC (MANHATTAN)
Spent New Year's Eve in NYC and had the opportunity to visit a lot of tourist attractions. Since NYC is huge, I'll be focusing on Manhattan only in this post, which is where I was most of the time. So, without further ado, here are some things to do in Manhattan!
TIMES SQUARE
Times Square is a major commercial hub in the middle of Manhattan, full of billboards and flashing lights. Here, you can grab some street food or watch a Broadway show.
SOHO
As the fashion hub of NYC, Soho features European-style architecture and cute cafes.
CENTRAL PARK
Here, you have the opportunity to enjoy quietness and nature within the hustle and bustle of the big city.
WALL STREET
Located in the Financial District, Wall Street is home to the New York Stock Exchange and, if you happen to visit around the holidays, an annual tree lighting.
STATUE OF LIBERTY
Although I could not get a good picture, I went on a cruise that gave me a view of the Statue of Liberty herself.
9/11 MUSEUM
Located in the World Trade Center, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum serves as a rememberance for one of the darkest times in our nation's history.
THE MET
The Met is home to art from around the world, from medieval European armor to Chinese pottery to ancient Egyptian tombs.
EMPIRE STATE BUILDING
Get a breathtaking view of the city from one of the tallest buildings in the world.
So yeah, these are some of the main attractions in Manhattan that I recommend, however there are some things that I would like to do but didn't have time for, like visiting the Museum of Modern Art and Madame Tussauds. I really enjoyed my time here in NYC, and it seems like a great place to move once I graduate.
