We had some good friends who had NEVER been to NYC. And since we loved our two prior visits SO much, we agreed to travel there together and show them around! We went to Buffalo first to see Niagara Falls, then flew back to NYC to meet them there! We had a couple days before they arrived, then 4 days together, then they spent the last 2 days of our week long apartment rental on their own.

We got the NYC pass and packed in everything we could! It was a busy few days but we sure saw a lot. We saw Jersey Boys and A Christmas Story too!

We of course ate our way through town. Hot dogs, bagels, Rays, China Town, Little Italy, Park Slope Chip Shop, we ate it all. But it’s ok, we walked it all off too!

Since we had passes, we did things we hadn’t done before. The Guggenheim, rode bikes through Central Park, Museum of Natural History, a SUPER CHEESY ride at Empire State Building – DON’T PAY FOR IT! Taking the ferry at night is an awesome way to see the Statue of Liberty all lit up!

Seeing it at Christmas was absolutely gorgeous. We got to do the NBC Studio tour as well which was awesome. We saw the Tonight Show stage, peeked in at SNL and saw a couple others as well. NYC at Christmas should be on everyone’s bucket list.
