I’ve been living in the Big Apple for nearly three months and I’ve been loving every New York minute of it. Each day I hear a new recommendation from a co-worker or neighbor and my to-do list is becoming endless. We will never run out of things to do in our new city. Still, there’s way too much on my city bucket list! I feel like I need to take a vacation just to explore my own city. With the help of my blazer from Talbots, I’m sharing the top things on my NYC bucket list. How many have you checked off and what do you think I’m missing? Be sure to let me know!
- Walk Across the Brooklyn Bridge: I haven’t even been to Brooklyn yet, let alone the Brooklyn Bridge. The views alone I’m sure are worth it, but I just want to recreate classic movie scenes!
- Go to the Top of the Empire State Building: Or any other skyscraper for that matter. I want to take in the city in all of it’s glory.
- See a Broadway Show: Hamilton is the ideal pick, but I’m open to others. I also am dying to see Springsteen on Broadway or Phantom of the Opera. Did you know it’s been on Broadway for 30 years and it’s still timeless.
- Ride the Staten Island Ferry: Rumor has it, the Staten Island Ferry has the best views of the city, especially at night. The best part? It’s free!
- Visit the Statue of Liberty: I’m a major history nerd and every time I see Lady Liberty, even from a far, I feel a little emotional. Seeing her up close and personal would probably open up all of the flood gates.
- Have a beach day at Rockaway Beach: What can I say, I miss Gulf Coast beaches. I know they won’t be the same, but in the summer time, I’ve just got to figure out how to get to the beach to lay out and grab some Vitamin SEA!
- Grab a drink at a Secret Bar: This is pretty much on my bucket list for every city, but something about finding a secret bar in NYC seems much more authentic.
- Take a weekend trip to the Hamptons: Will I ever be able to afford a house in the Hamptons? Probably not, but that doesn’t mean I can’t stop by and daydream up a storm. Again, I don’t need any excuse to find a nice beach to sit on. Bonus points for great shopping nearby.
- Go to a baseball game in the summer: Not much of a baseball fan, but there’s no way I’d say no to watching either of NYC’s iconic team out on the field. Being a Yankee’s fan would be super convenient. I mean, I’m just a few stops away on the 6, but some family roots cheer for the Mets! I guess, I’ll just have to stay neutral.
Okay, that’s my short and sweet list. And don’t even get me started on what restaurants I want to stop at. I’ll have to save that for another (probably longer) post. Be sure to let me know if there’s anything I’m missing and maybe I’ll see you around town!
Love from NYC,
Katie
