1. Ground
Zero. So unbelievably moving. I highly recommend you visit and reflect. Also, visit the museum and go to the top of the One World Trade Center. 102 floors up.
2. Walk the
Brooklyn Bridge. I know, how cliché? But seriously. Walk the bridge and then there’s
a little treat at the end. After walking the entire Bridge, you have to go to Grimaldi’s.
Seriously, it was the BEST pizza I have ever had. It’s located kind of right
next to/underneath the bridge. You have to get there early though. Get there before they
open because I guarantee, there will still be a line! Cash only. But don’t
worry- if you forget to bring cash like I did, they have an ATM. Side note- how did I forget to bring cash? I'm Italian... Italians always have cash on them! But anyways. Go! You will not regret going here!
3. Take the
subway to the Bronx or to Queens and catch a baseball game (if it's season, obviously). I mean, c’mon now.
You all know me by now and my obsession with America’s pastime. How could
catching a ballgame NOT be on the list? Do it. And thank me later. The subway drops you off at the gates of either Yankee Stadium or Citi Field, literally. Hop on and you're there. There's no excuse.
4. Walk
around Times Square. People watch and take in all the lights and noise and nonsense. There’s
nothing like the hustle and bustle. Catch a Broadway play while you're up that way too. I've only seen Jersey Boys on Broadway and it was amazing. I may be biased because it's my favorite, though.
What are some of your must do things while in New York? I would love to know so I can add to my list!
