Checklist of the Top 100 Things To Do In New York


After absolutely falling in love with New York during my two weeks there, I thought I would share with you my list of 100 Things To Do In New York. Its a combination of my own research prior to going, things I discovered while there and suggestions given to me to New Yorkers both born and raised and new to the city. They range from the obvious to the niche, some things are things to do, some are things just to see with your own eyes.

I am happy to say I did not finish my own list so now I have an excuse, no, a reason to go back! That is the beauty with New York, there is so much to do that you can't get it all done, but you will have an incredible time trying!
