Newyork.. it isnt a city, its a feeling!
The next day was sunshine and we planned an entire day outside. Statue of Liberty was the first in our list. We had read a lot of options on how-to get to the statue like cruises, ferry etc. We then chose the one that’s free! Staten Island ferry runs between NYC and Staten Island every 30 mins and you can ride it for free. It provides brilliant views of the manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty. Don’t fall prey to all the tours who tell you it takes long and doesn’t provide good views - in exactly an hour we had seen the Statue twice! Once while going to Staten Island and the other while coming back. We spent the rest of the day walking around lower manhattan - Wall Street, the Raging Bull, the fearless girl, the World Trade Centre memorial etc. we then headed to the next spot which was the bridge which Shah rukh Khan has made famous- the Brooklyn Bridge. We got there closer to sunset to enjoy the views and it is highly recommended.
NYC also has a lot of iconic stores - Macy’s, Tiffany & co, Bloomingdales, Saks 5th Avenue and many more.. A walk down 5th Avenue, the high end shopping street is a treat in itself.
I have grown up seeing Newyork through the 90s movies like Home Alone, to TV series like Friends, Brooklyn 9, NYPD etc. Newyork has always been one of the bucket list cities for me to visit.
Come fall 2019, I did spend about 5days in NYC and it was magical. NY has a LOT to see and you can easily spend a week to 10days and still not get bored. We were there in Fall and its a beautiful time - the trees, the leaves, the colours.. just magical. However this weather also has a few days of sunshine with a few days of rain; just before winter sets in.
Day 0 was an evening spent with the dazzling neon lights of Times Square - the energy of this place is highly contagious. One can easily spend an entire evening looking at all the lights, wandering into stores like Disney, Hersheys, M&M, walking down Broadway.. just like in the movies.

Day3 started off with a visit to the Met museum- one of the worlds biggest art museums. Its huge! You can easily spend half a day wandering across their rooms and hallways.
One of my bucket list things to do in NY was took watch a broadway musical.. and we picked Lion King! Tip: book tickets in advance as it is highly popular.
We then spent the evening around Radio City Music Hall and soaking in the energies.
Coming up.. NYC Part 2
