Hello lovelies!
Happy Monday. I know what
you’re thinking, “she NEVER posts on Monday.” Well you would be correct but
today, or rather this whole week I have a real treat. I’m kicking off my weeklong
travel diary for NYC! That’s right there will be a new post every single day
this week.
I knew I wanted to do this post
when I was planning my trip; but because I love New York so much, and have a
million things I want to share with y’all, I wasn’t sure how I would break it
up. I finally settled on the following categories:
Places to Stay
Things To Do
Food
Nightlife
I’m going to try and keep
each category to things/places from this trip. However, if you need any other
suggestions please feel free to leave a comment or email me at fashionablylateblonde@gmail.com and I would be more than
happy to share even more of my favorite things with you.
Today I want to leave you
with a few tips for your visit.
1. Plan ahead but not too much!
I’m never one to plan my entire trip because I like to leave time open for
spontaneous things. In NYC if you plan on doing something extremely touristy
that requires tickets, buy them in advance. This will prevent disappointment if
they are sold out and also help you avoid long lines. (The exception is
Broadway because you can get some great last minute deals. However, if you have
a specific show just go ahead and buy the tickets ahead of time.)
2. Use public transportation!
This may sound scary especially if you have never used the subway or any type
of public transportation, but I promise it’s not as hard as it looks. And if
you get lost just ask someone. We’ve all been there. This will be a huge time
& money saver! (My biggest tip here is pay attention to uptown vs. downtown
trains. This will save you a lot of time)
3. Don’t be afraid to try
something new. Whether it’s a restaurant or activity there are tons of things
to do and see and even more places to eat so make sure to step outside your
comfort zone just a little.
4. Take a day to just wander.
(Even better if it’s by yourself.) I don’t typically like to be alone. Not in a
weird way but I just really like being around people for the most part. Every
time I go to the city however I try and make sure I have at least one day by
myself to just walk around. I love walking through all
the different neighborhoods and discovering new places. I really can’t
recommend this enough. It’s one of my favorite things.
5. Last but not least bring comfy shoes. I did a
whole post here on how comfortable shoes in the City are a must. Bring heels if
you plan on going out and that’s your thing (I usually do) but just know you
may think a pair of shoes is comfortable (that includes heels) but NYC will make
you rethink that ASAP! A great trick I learned from a girl at the club one
night was bring a small pair of flats like these foldable ones and put them in
your purse then at the end of the night when your feet are dead you can throw
them on and carry your heels.
I hope this helps and I hope
you will come back tomorrow for where to stay in the city!
