New York City , 10 Things to do for First Timers!

New York City...one of America's biggest and vibrant cities is full of energy, people, things to do, bars, fun neighborhoods, unique restaurants, museums, art, and endless entertainment. For years I wanted to visit New York City but it was too expensive...fortunately I had a recent work trip so I added 3 days for some personal fun time! With very limited time, and knowing that this could be my first and last New York City trip, I did all the really famous and popular attractions such as the Empire State Building, Times Square and Statue of Liberty. Yes, some things were underwhelming but you just have to see it once in your life and check it off your bucket list!

There are much more knowledgeable New York City local youtubers than I making much better New York videos with all sorts of great extra secondary attractions, off the beaten path neighborhoods, rooftop bars, and new restaurants...but I wanted to hit the big spots on my limited time and save their recommendations for a follow trip someday.
