The most iconic bridge in New York City!
Dreams come true! Surely, I went to see the Brooklyn Bridge when I came to New York. Walking across it was lovely. You get these awesome views of the skyline, and it’s just so cool to be on such an iconic bridge.
A tip: try to go early or later in the day to avoid the crowds. It’s a lot more peaceful.
I really enjoyed just taking my time, looking around, and soaking in the whole vibe. It’s one of those things that feels even better in person than in pictures! Totally worth it.

NYC Christmas is coming - Let's explore the Christmas lights in NYC.
Near Times Square, there is a huge Christmas tree adorned with lights and surrounded by a crowd of people enjoying the warm atmosphere of this year's Christmas festival. You can hear Christmas music everywhere you go, just like in the movies. If you have the chance to visit Manhattan during this time, don't miss out on walking around to see the Christmas lights in various locations:
-Rockefeller Center
-Radio City Music Hall
-Macy's
-Bryant Park (there's also a Christmas market there)
The Met
The Met is one of the most beautiful and amazing museums I have ever had the pleasure of visiting.
The Egyptian galleries were my favorite and I wish we had more time to explore because it is so vast! It was also so surreal to actually see artworks by masters such as Monet, Degas and Van Gogh in real life.
After the visit, we took a short stroll to beautiful Central Park. It was such a lovely way to spend the day. If you are in NYC, you need to add The Met to your list!

Awesome visit to Coney Island❤️
All the way south from the Isle of Man, I finally came to coney island at the end of October.
I heard about this retro playground and one of the few beaches in New York a long time ago, and I wanted to visit it before the end of autumn. Because it is a weekday afternoon, there are not many people. The weather is very good. In the sunshine, the whole playground and beach are filled with a hazy golden fog, adding some retro atmosphere.
The wind at the seaside in October is still very strong. If you want to go there recently, remember to wear an more coat.

Discovering Wonders at the American Museum of Natural History 🦖✨
A visit to the American Museum of Natural History is like stepping into a time machine! From towering dinosaur skeletons to the breathtaking dioramas showcasing wildlife from around the world, every exhibit tells a unique story. Whether you’re into fossils, outer space, or marine life, this museum has something for everyone.
One of my favorite spots was the Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs, home to the massive T-Rex and Apatosaurus. It’s mind-blowing to stand face-to-face with these prehistoric giants. If you’re fascinated by the universe, the Hayden Planetarium is a must-visit for an immersive journey through space.
The museum isn’t just about displays; it’s a place where science comes to life, sparking curiosity and wonder in every corner. So, if you’re in NYC, don’t miss out on this iconic experience!

A View Worth a Thousand Words: Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center 🌇
If you're in NYC, the Top of the Rock is a must-visit! Standing atop the iconic Rockefeller Center, you get sweeping 360-degree views of the city that never sleeps. From the glimmering skyline to landmarks like the Empire State Building, Central Park, and beyond, every angle is a photo-perfect moment. Unlike some other observation decks, the Top of the Rock has glass panels that give an uninterrupted view of the entire cityscape—day or night.
For the best experience, time your visit just before sunset. Watching the golden hour transition into the city lights coming alive is magical. Plus, it's less crowded than other spots, which makes it all the more worth it.
So, if you’re looking to soak in the true essence of NYC from up high, the Top of the Rock is where you want to be! ✨

NYC|One of the most popular brunches in NYC
When I visited New York, I met up with a high school friend at Dante West Village. I really love this area.
The interior of the place is very nice, with fresh hydrangeas, and you can sit either indoors or outdoors.
It’s super comfortable when the weather is just right, neither too hot nor too cold! Not only tourists but also actors, writers, and musicians living in New York love it here.
A friend told me that bagels are a must-try in New York, so I had one. The egg was perfectly cooked, with a soft yolk that oozed onto the bread—really delicious!
Another friend ordered the Shakshuka, which was also quite tasty. The bread was toasted to a perfect crisp, and the seasoning was on point.
The coffee was good as expected, and the juice had a nice balance of sweet and tangy, making it quite refreshing!

NYC | Tasty fruit cake if Harbs in Soho of NYC
Harbs SoHo
📍465 W Broadway, New York, NY 10012, United States
My friend and I stayed in New York for five or six days, and we went to Harbs twice. Each time, we couldn’t resist ordering the fruit mille-feuille cake—it’s that good!
This Japanese cake shop is generous with its fruit. The cake is packed with bananas, kiwis, and strawberries, along with rich, creamy layers. Each slice is super thick, and every bite is pure satisfaction.
Because it's so popular, it’s possible they might run out of it. The strawberry cake is also a great backup option!
Make sure not to visit close to closing time, or you might miss out on the cake. The SoHo location tends to have a better supply!

NYC|Must visit Guggenheim Museum in NYC
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
📍1071 5th Ave, New York, NY 10128, United States
If you're visiting museums in New York, the Guggenheim is a must-see.
When I visited last time, there was a special exhibition of Vasily Kandinsky, who is recognized as an innovator in art and a pioneer of modern abstract painting.
In the early 20th century, he was one of the first to develop a lasting impact through non-representational art.
The Guggenheim creatively arranged Kandinsky's works in reverse chronological order, so as you ascend the spiral, you move from his later works to his earlier ones.
Personally, I prefer his earlier works, but the way he used abstraction to express the artist's urge for spiritual expression and explore the artist's inner needs is indeed thought-provoking.

🇺🇸A great photo spot with the Brooklyn Bridge - Dumbo!🇺🇸
#travelsupportevent #newyorktravel #couple #nyc #brooklyn #dumbo
When you travel to New York, you must have crossed the Brooklyn Bridge at least once! I went to New York and confirmed that the Brooklyn Bridge is so pretty even from afar!!
In the movie Spiderman 2, the place where Spiderman threw a web to confess his love to his girlfriend is the Brooklyn Bridge!
There is a designated place where you can take pictures with the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge! It is the famous ‘Dumbo’ where you can see the most beautiful pillars of the bridge between the buildings!
I will leave the address! Be sure to go at night or during the day! There are cafes and pubs around there, so it’s great for taking pictures and having fun! I actually saw a couple taking wedding pictures ღ•͈ᴗ•͈ღ

⭐️ Overall rating: 5/5
🍽 Recommendation: Flat White
💁 Service: Good

Felix Roasting Co cafe is located in the center of NYC and the interior design is impressive and colourful.

Shopping at 5th Ave 🛍🏬
Embarking on a retail odyssey along the iconic 5th Avenue in the heart of New York City was a sensory delight that transcended the ordinary. The bustling energy of this renowned avenue was palpable as I meandered through a labyrinth of high-end stores, each one boasting its unique charm and allure.
In this urban jungle of commerce, each storefront narrated a distinct story, weaving together the fabric of the city's dynamic spirit. 5th Avenue is not merely a shopping destination; it's a living canvas, an ever-evolving testament to the intersection of commerce, culture, and style in the heart of the city that never sleeps.

New York sightseeing
The best way the visit New York's top attractions is using one of the unlimited sightseeng passes! For the ticket price of 2 attractions you can have unlimited in a day. I reccomend the 3 or 4day pass if you are an adventurer 3day is enough to include all the main and some attractions if you like to take your time and don't rush 4day is the go. For transport the weekly subway pass is the best way to go, it's also good on the buses.

Summit Observatory with a panoramic view of downtown New York
The Summit Observatory, where you can see the great view of New York!
This is one of the three major observatories in New York, and the daytime is the most famous.
The 3pm time is especially popular because you can see the sunset.
Advance reservations are a must!
The weather was cloudy on the day I made my reservation, but I was able to change it to a different day on site.
It is the most popular observatory because it has a wide open view and a silver balloon.
I recommend it because it is a place where you can take a great photo~
There is also a cafe with a great view on the top floor, so it would be great to enjoy the observatory and have a cup of coffee, right?
