New York City: Your Ultimate Guide to the Big Apple


Planning your first trip to New York City? I can only imagine how overwhelmed you get by the thousands of activities, restaurants, bars and hotels in the Big 🍎

I consider myself a reliably source to NYC since I’ve been there 5 times and lived there for 4 months (yes, I mention this at least once  every single day). Soooo, if you need the perfect itinerary for your first time in the city of dreams, you’ve found your girlie! 

This guide includes a budget hotel as well as a more upscale one, the perfect mix of touristy and non-touristy activities, amazing restaurants and of course, my favorite boutiques and shops. It’s perfect for 6 to 8 nights and covers Manhattan and a small part of Brooklyn. 

This guide really is for everyone, doesn’t matter if you’re visiting with friends, family or your lover. If you need any add-ons or more specific guides I will have different, smaller ones you can use!

Ground Zero

Ground Zero is a solemn tribute to the lives lost in the September 11 attacks. The Reflecting Absence memorial pools mark the location where the Twin Towers stood, offering a contemplative space for reflection. The 9/11 Memorial Plaza, through its poignant design and exhibits, serves as a reminder of the city's resilience and unity in the face of adversity.
