My NYC Bucket List

Everything to do and see in New York City

My NYC Bucket List

New York City, the city that never sleeps and the place you will never run out of things to do. As I enter into fall of my first year in NYC, I have started this bucket list of all the things I wish to see and eventually do.

In no particular order:

Watch the ball drop on New Year's Eve


See the Statue of Liberty



Wake up early and and be an audience member of Good Morning America




Check out The Bronx Zoo

The Bronx Zoo is home to my favorite animal, the Snow Leopard. It is also one of the world’s largest zoos, housing about 600 species, and has been around since 1899.




Go ice skating at Rockefeller Plaza


Eat at Serendipity 3

I saw this place on the Food Network and have been adamant about visiting ever since. Known for its glorious ice cream and frozen hot chocolate, Serendipity 3 looks to host the grandest ice cream parlor. They also serve the Golden Opulence Sundae, which is ice cream infused with gold and imported ingredients from around the globe, costing $1,000 (Sadly, I won’t be ordering that). It holds the Guinness World record for most expensive sundae, takes two days to prepare, and is averaged to sell one every month.


Explore the Museum of Natural History


Walk the High Line (day and night)



See The Rockettes Radio City Christmas Spectacular live

I always thought it’d be really cool to be a Rockette.


Visit the National September 11 Museum and Memorial



Wander around The Metropolitan Museum of Art

My sister told me you could spend days here. I want to spend days looking at art.


Get a Rainbow Bagel

Who wouldn’t want to try a RAINBOW bagel? It’s beautiful.


See the national Christmas tree lighting



Visit Coney Island



Eat at Black Tap

The most outrageous milkshake you’ll ever have.



Stroll around Central Park and Ride in a Horse-Drawn Carriage

I wonder how many dogs there will be.


Have authentic cuisine in Chinatown


See New York City Ballet perform at Lincoln Center


Specifically The Nutcracker. Or, really any ballet performances.


Watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in person



Have fun at Karaoke night


I don't sing, but who knows.


Check out the Museum of Ice Cream

Sprinkles galore.


Go to the top of the Empire State Building

America’s fifth largest skyscraper with 102 floors, I imagine a pretty spectacular view from the top. The Empire State building also has its own zip code 10118, and from 2004 to 2008 the 24th floor was dedicated solely to napping.


Try a cupcake from Magnolia Bakery


Chocolate or Carrot first?


See (as many) Broadway Musicals (as possible)

This list is subjected to be added on to at anytime, because there is always something spectacular happening in New York City.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

singing
Cambio

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
