Even if you aren't a big fan of big cities, hear me out. New York has much more than you think. It's not really just a big city with rude people. It has something in it for every single type of person out there. If you have been there, you know what I'm talking about but if you haven't, it is a must see. I've traveled there twice and have enjoyed every trip, even though there is still a lot that I haven't seen.
1. The food
Everywhere you walk, you can find an amazing restaurant. Even if it's a hole in the wall restaurant, the odds are that it's still gonna taste amazing. Also, any restaurant that you can think of is in driving distance or even walking distance away and they are ALWAYS open.
2. The views
Weather it's a river or a skyscraper, the city has so many views of amazing things. You can walk 2 steps out of a doorway and see huge skyscrapers towering over the city. That's something to see, on it's own.
3. Walking/running
As a New York City visitor, you will walk everywhere. With the not so low prices of transportation, you almost have to. Sometimes that can be amazing but also hard on the feet. Overall, I feel that the breathtaking views are worth the pain.
4. Shopping
It's one of the largest "shopping cities" for a reason. From souvenir stores to fine jewelry, New York comes fully prepared to satisfy your shopping mood. Tour to Times Square for the ultimate shopping experience.
5. It never sleeps
Tired of not having places open when you are up at 2 a.m.? Well if you are a night owl or an early riser, the city never sleeps and food/attractions are always ready to be enjoyed.
6. There is something for everyone
Weather you love the city or prefer a nice quiet park, there is something for everyone. That's one thing that amazes me obvious the city. Even though the taxis are in the hundreds of thousands, tree population in central park is just as astonishing.
7. Central Park
One of my favorite spots in all the city. It comes equipped with a few ponds, a castle, baseball diamonds and a large area for picnics and walking. Fun fact: John Lennon's Strawberry Fields is there.
8. Broadway
Even if you aren't the type for Broadway shows or musicals, it's something that you must do if you visit. It doesn't matter what show, just see one! You may love it!
9. Times Square
Times Square is unlike any place I've ever been to, especially if you go at night. It has pretty much everything on this list and more to go around. I would highly recommend this destination if you ever visit the city. You will find that there is no better place to explore in this amazing city!
If you get the chance to visit the city, make sure to remember these reasons. I'm confident that you will find something to love about this great city!
