New York In The Winter

We visited New York City around Christmas, here are my thoughts:

-So much to see, you’ll never be bored!

-Bring your walking shoes and lots of layers. While it wasn’t terribly cold it was still cold enough you’ll want some layers.

- Stay in the city if you can! Super convenient!

- So many great foods to try! Bagels and Pizza was a must!

- Winter time = Hot drinks at all times!

- The new Wicked movie just came out but the play was even better! 10/10 recommend!

There’s something so special about visiting New York around Christmas. While it’s super busy I think it’s worth it!
