I grew up in NYC and haven’t fully taken advantage of all of the fun “touristy” things to do in the city. I did “touristy” things when I studied abroad, when I travel, or in DC but it is time to try a few new things in NYC and do some of my favorite things again. Here is my list so far! I’m sure I’ll be adding to it throughout the summer. I’ve also added a few things that aren’t in NYC but are on my to-do list.
I’ve told a few of my friends about this list and I can’t wait to complete it with different people!
