In less than a week, I will be in the most fabulous place on earth, New York City! In my eager anticipation, I have written a list of things I’m psyched to check out on my upcoming visit. I’m counting down the days…
Camp Broadway Dance – Though I won’t make it to the program, a CB Dance class is going on over the exact same weekend that I’m there! This is an awesome opportunity to sharpen your dance skills and have a fantastic time! I wish I could be there.
Broadway shows! I have tickets to see Matilda and Once and I absolutely can’t wait. Naturally, this is the part of the trip I’m most excited about. I’ve been planning this part ever since my last trip. Last time I was in NYC was before Matilda opened. I tried to rush tickets to Once but was too late, so this time I’m thrilled to see both! I’ve heard such amazing things about both shows and can’t wait to be back and see them. Bonus: with some luck, I might be able to score some cheap student rush tickets to a third show! Now THAT would be fantastic.
Schmackary‘s – Once you’ve had a Schmackary’s cookie, no other cookie will ever compare. I’m ecstatic to visit this favorite bakery once again and enjoy some excellent cookies.
The High Line – This famous park is built on an old elevated railroad track. I haven’t been there before, so this is a first! I plan to meet some friends there, and maybe even spot a Broadway star or two… a girl can hope, right?
College tours! The main purpose of this (admittedly nerdy) blogger’s trip to New York is to tour some schools, namely Columbia University and New York University. These will be my first college trips, so I’m a little nervous, but mostly so excited about the prospect of going to school in this amazing city!
SHOPPING. My hometown isn’t exactly known for high style, so shopping for some fall and winter goodies while I’m in NYC is a must. For a list of the best stores, check out Rory’s post here!
The food! There are so many amazing restaurants in New York City, I can’t wait to eat there. Don’t be fooled by my petite stature- I can and WILL eat everything in sight. Watch out, NYC!
Overall, there are so many things about my upcoming trip that I just can’t wait to do! Do you have any suggestions about other things I could check out? What are your favorite things to do in New York City? Leave some suggestions in the comments!
