Headed to the Big Apple and overwhelmed by all the options? Read on for a detailed guide on how to spend the perfect weekend in New York!
New York is a city of superlatives. It’s the largest in the United States, and the 8 million-plus New Yorkers are fond of calling it the greatest city in the world.
To be fair, they definitely have a case to make. There’s no denying that New York City is one of the most vibrant, diverse, and exciting cities on the planet.
New York is home to so many iconic American images that it’s impossible to see it all on a short trip.
The Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Central Park, Broadway, Wall Street, the Empire State Building — the list goes on and on. With just a weekend in New York, you’ll have to pick and choose.
