Do you ever have a yearning of where you’re meant to be? I’ve wanted to live in New York for as long as I can remember and whilst I toy with the idea day after day, part of me says go for it, the other part of me wants to stay in London.
Is NYC just another London? No. It’s better. So whilst I’ll push my NYC dream to 2027 (a fake deadline, I know), here is my ultimate NYC see, eat and do list.
See
- Upper East Side
- Carrie Bradshaw’s house
- Meat Packing District
- Times Square – Think of Trafalgar Square, just bigger and with even more tourists.
- Brooklyn Bridge
- Harlem – Not the place it once was, Harlem is so diverse, so buzzing and somewhere I will be selling my mixtape one day.
- Grand Central Station

New York looks 🔥
I’ve always wanted to go there.
I’ve only been to Florida, I’d love to go to another place in America.
