Adventures in New York: Saturdays on Broadway
This is going to be a long post, so thank you to all of those who stay to the end! To say I love seeing live theatre is an understatement.

Adventures in New York: Fifth Avenue-Midtown
As you may have noticed, I spend a lot of time in Midtown Manhattan. One of the places that I visit the most is the area around Rockefeller Center. The reason is simply, it is close to the Theatre District, there are lots of food options, and it's a great place to kill time! Around … Continue reading Adventures in New York: Fifth Avenue-Midtown
Adventures in New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art
One of the most famous museums in the world, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met) lives up to the hype. It is one of my favorite museums anywhere in the world.

You can spend … Continue reading Adventures in New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art
Adventures in New York: Greenwich Village

Adventures in New York: The Guggenheim
New York has so many wonderful museums, both big and small. One of the most famous is the Guggenheim. It is located on the Upper East Side at 88th Street and 5th Avenue (right across from Central Park). While the museum is known for their collection of modern art, what it is mostly recognized for … Continue reading Adventures in New York: The Guggenheim
Adventures in New York: Central Park
Other than Broadway, my most favorite place to be in New York is Central Park. I particularly love it in the fall and late winter. The air is crisp and the trees give way to the skyscrapers that surround this little oasis. As noted, my favorite thing to do is grab a Pret sandwich, a … Continue reading Adventures in New York: Central Park
