5 NYC Spots You Can’t Miss

If you’ve only got one day in New York City, no stress. I’ll walk you through my favorite way to see the highlights without feeling rushed. This route hits the big spots and gives you a feel for the real NYC

Central Park

Start your morning in Central Park. It’s a peaceful green space right in the middle of all the hustle. You can rent a bike or just take a walk with a coffee in hand. Don’t miss the Bethesda Fountain and the Conservatory Garden. It’s a great way to ease into the day.

Fifth Avenue and Times Square

Fifth Avenue and Times Square Next, head over to Fifth Avenue. It’s full of shops and big names, but even just walking and window shopping is fun. Then make your way to Times Square. It’s loud, bright, and full of energy. Snap a few photos, take in the lights, and maybe catch a Broadway show if you're feeling spontaneous.
