I have been dreaming of going to the big city of New York for as long as I can remember. So many movies and tv shows secured my obsession with New York– Gossip Girl, Sex and the City, Friends, Blue Bloods, Something Borrowed, Home Alone (I could go on forever)!

When my parents gave me the option to go anywhere I wanted (in the US) as my college graduation present, I quickly said The Big Apple! It was seriously one of the best trips I have ever been on! We walked around 60 miles in 4 days to explore the seemingly endless neighborhoods of the city. Although we walked a ton, I don’t know if we walked or ate more! We had some of the best food I’ve ever tasted– pizza, pasta, donuts, waffles, you name it, we probably ate it! 

It was such a fun trip that I thought I’d share some of the photos I took! Some are from my camera and some from my iPhone so don’t judge me if they aren’t all perfect! I was more worried about taking in the new experiences rather than lugging my camera around everywhere, which is what a trip should really be about, right?

I hope you enjoy seeing New York City from my perspective!
