🎥 7 THINGS YOU CAN’T MISS WHEN VISITING NYC! 🗽✨
Planning your New York City trip? Save this list because these are seven NYC experiences I’d put on any first time itinerary.
1️⃣ BROOKLYN BRIDGE AT SUNRISE 🌅
Walk across one of the most iconic bridges in NYC while the city wakes up around you. Go early for fewer crowds and incredible skyline photos.
2️⃣ LITTLE ISLAND 🌿
This unique park on the Hudson River is worth a stop for its architecture, greenery and views. It’s especially beautiful on a sunny day.
3️⃣ SUMMIT ONE VANDERBILT ✨
Want one of the best views of Manhattan? Head up to SUMMIT for panoramic skyline views, immersive rooms and unforgettable perspectives of the Empire State Building.
4️⃣ MUSEUM OF ICE CREAM 🍦
Looking for something fun and different? Expect colorful installations, interactive rooms and plenty of photo opportunities. Yes, there is ice cream too! 😂
5️⃣ TIMES SQUARE AT DAWN 🌆
See Times Square before the crowds take over. The giant screens are still glowing, but the streets are surprisingly quiet.
6️⃣ CENTRAL PARK 🍁
Don’t just walk through it. Explore it. From Bethesda Terrace to hidden paths and beautiful bridges, Central Park can easily take up half a day.
7️⃣ NYC FERRY AT SUNSET ⛴️🌅
End the day on the water. A NYC Ferry ride at sunset gives you incredible views of the Manhattan skyline from a completely different perspective, and it costs a fraction of a sightseeing cruise.
