Even if summer is almost over, I know many of us are still thinking and daydreaming about where to go on vacation next. I have a long list, haha, but who doesn't, right? I last went to New York when I was 11 years old, and I've been wanting to go back ever since. I was really young, and so the fast-walking, running to catch the subway thing didn't really appeal to me. Needless to say, I know I will enjoy New York way way way more now that I am 20 years old than I did back then.
Let's start the daydreaming, shall we? :D
Christmas at the Rockefeller Center
The Plaza Hotel
It's beautiful, huh? :)
The Statue of Liberty
Empire State Building
Central Park (such an amazing picture!)
Another beautiful picture :)
Yummy pretzel and nuts!
Frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity 3, anyone? :)
It's exciting just to imagine all the things we can do in New York - eat, sightsee, and shop, of course! :D
What are the other places we should add to our "New York travel list"? What do you love the most about New York? If you haven't been there, do you want to go visit too?
*all images from Google*
Have a happy Thursday, my loves!
I went last summer and it was like a dream come true. I always wanted to go. And when I finally went to new york I fell in love. I love it it was such an amazing experience. I love it so much I want to move to ny. My favorite part was central park and time square. Ohhh and the pizza. AAMMAAZINGGGG<3
ReplyDeleteyes! definitely one of the best places in the whole world! :))

One of my friends lives there and I would love so much to go. Shopping will be my priority and sightseeing next. I love Sex and the City, and have always wondered if NY would give the same impression as in the movie.

ReplyDeleteNow I want to go to NYC! thanks for inspiration it might actually lead to a journey :)
ReplyDeleteby the way, thanks for your support! I think I've already got over that (and got rid of that post). it's not the stuff who's killing me, it's how the visitors behave
this is a very mean post :) You have me craving a trip back to NYC! this list is so long but My hubby and I go in Fall/winter we always go to the cafe at rockerfeller center and have vino and watch people ice skate! Taking a stroll in central park all bundled up and of course making plenty of latte stops :) The village is the best!! def make a pit stop at Magnolias for some AMAZING cupcakes!
ReplyDeletei've never been to new york but i definitely want to go. preferably in the winter so it's cold. haha. i love the first 2 pics! amazing.

NYC is such a wonder. I loveeeee it. Time square is so dazzling (never been on new years, though) and serendipity's!!!!!! yum!!!
ReplyDeleteYou will have an awesome time when you go! I live 10 minutes outside of NYC, and here are some places I would suggest for you to go.. Go to the village if you want to do some shopping!! And if you are into any type of science/medical stuff go see the body exhibit. I would also suggest the Bronx zoo if the weather is good.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love NY?! :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely want to visit and go shopping!
maybe even live there ;D

ReplyDeleteI have the opportunity to live in New York for the fall... however I cant find a place to stay... its my dream job and my heart is being crushed since I cannot find a place to live!
ReplyDeletexo
I've been to NY and loved it there. Like you, I went when I was younger...around 12 or 13. Wow!! I can't believe that was over 10 years ago...haha.
ReplyDeleteI loved watching one of the Broadway plays going on at that time. I don't really remember what I saw, but I think I saw "Footloose". You should see a Broadway play the next time you go. Also, the Empire State Building was a special place for me because my first boyfriend asked me out at the top of the building.
I will also be going next year to celebrate my mom's birthday.
Wonderful post Mimi!!
