Travel Guide Tuesday

Central Park:

Central Park is hands down one of my favorite places in NYC. I highly recommend visiting some or all of the following: the Boat House, Bethesda Fountain, Alice in Wonderland sculpture, Belvedere Castle, Wollman Park, the Children's Zoo, Sheep's Meadow, and Strawberry Fields. You won't regret spending the whole day here.

The MET (and other museums):

Pretend you are in Gossip Girl and eat lunch on the steps of the Met, or better yet go inside and see the amazing art stored inside. It's possible to spend the whole day in the Met and still not see one complete wing of it. Other museums to visit:  The Guggenheim, The Museum of Natural History, and The Frick.

Dylan's Candy Bar:

This place is perfect for any candy lover. It's like stepping into Willy Wonka's Factory with every type of candy imaginable. I highly recommend visiting when you are not hungry.

Bryant Park:

One of my favorite parks in NYC. Every summer, they screen free movies once a week at night. Then in winter, it literally turns into a Winter Wonderland complete with a skating rink, pop-up stores, and an outside bar. Also The New York Public Library (where Carrie was supposed to get married) is adjacent to Bryant Park, which always warrants a visit. 

Empire State Building Observatory:

Without a doubt the best views of the city. A must see for anyone new or old to NYC. 

Rockefeller Center:

See where the Today Show films and where 30 Rock took place. In the winter, you can also see the famous Christmas tree and watch people attempt to skate.

Time Square:

Not my personal favorite, but everyone needs to visit Times Square at least once in their lifetime. I do recommend going to the Marriott Hotel in Times Square and visiting the Broadway Lounge to grab food and see the best views of Times Square.

Broadway:

You should definitely get tickets to see a Broadway show while in NYC. When you are in Times Square, visit the TKTS booth to get discount tickets to the shows.
