The New York To-Do List

Surprise! I'm soon embarking on my first New York trip and I am so excited to be there and be able to share parts of the holiday with you. I thought by putting together a to-do list for the course of the week it would help any of you planning a holiday to the Big Apple or if you simply want to google image parts of this concrete jungle and it's iconic points of interest (guilty). This is going to include the classic landmarks, shopping hotspots, activities, and places I've seen instagrammed so many times I'll be kicking myself if I miss a visit ;) Here's what we've got in mind for our trip so far! Suggestions welcome!

P. O. I

  1. Statue of Liberty 
  2. Top of the Rock
  3. Empire State Building
  4. The High Line
  5. Brooklyn Bridge Park
  6. Central Park
  7. Grand Central Terminal
  8. Ground Zero 
  9. The One World Trade Centre & Observatory
  10. Times Square 
  11. NY Public Library

ACTIVITIES

  1. See a Broadway Show (we're thinking the Lion King)
  2. Walk along Brooklyn Bridge
  3. Helicopter Ride (maybe, I'll let you know if we go for it!)

  7. Vintage/thrifting in Brooklyn

  9. Macy's or Bloomingdales (they've been in so many films it'd be rude not to)
  10. Cloak and Dagger (found this boutique via Racked.com's handy shop line-up)
  11. Anthropologie

  1. MoMA
  2. Guggenheim (the sold gold toilet can't go amiss)

    You have no idea how jealous I am of you right now! Haha - New York is probably one of the most amazing places I've been and you will have an amazing time! I think you've pretty much got all the good bits down here - Can absolutely recommend Empire State Building (if you can - go at night it's views are incredible) and Time Square is pretty awesome too! I went on a helicopter ride and it was brilliant!

    You're so right on seeing the Lion King too - definitely the best show I've ever seen (though it was in London - I'm sure it'll be just as incredible on Broadway!)
