I have started tagging along on my boyfriend’s business trips. Which means while he’s working, it’s up to me to entertain myself. Two weekends ago, I had a little solo adventure in New York City – a place I’ve been many times.
There’s always SO much to do in NYC that it was a little overwhelming for me to choose an itinerary. Even though I’ve been to the city more times than I can count, I don’t know how to navigate the subways AT ALL. So I stuck to walking and doing what I know I’ll love!
On Saturday, we got dinner and drinks on the Terrace of the Yotel where we were staying. Yotel NYC is a smart hotel and very centrally located. The rooms are like little pods and are so fun and affordable. The food on the Terrace was so good and it was a lovely evening!
On Sunday I stopped and got coffee and a muffin at Old Country Coffee and people watched while I ate. I then walked the High Line and stopped a few times for photos and reading. I walked the High Line down to the Chelsea Market and stopped at Creamline for lunch. I tried the Impossible Burger here because I’ve heard SO much about it!
I haven’t eaten meat in about 10 years and have tried tonssss of different burger alternatives, but none that actually taste like a burger. I really enjoyed the Impossible Burger and I would urge non-meat eaters and meat eaters to try it!
I shopped a bit then walked the Highline back to the hotel. We went out and split a sushi burrito at PokeTown. Say what you want about quirky spins on classic foods, sushi burritos are delish.
Then I ended my weekend in NYC, but I will be back soon! 🙂 What’s your favorite thing to do in NYC? (Clearly my favorite thing to do is eat!)

I love exploring the city! You should check out DUMBO, you can get some amazing pictures of the sky line!

Brooklyn Bridge Park is nice too. Don’t be afraid of the subways , they really aren’t as scary as they’re made out to be. Check out my blog posts for subway info.venture into the outer boroughs also . Brookkyn, Queens, The Bronx, even Staten Island . The ferry is free and 24/7 just like the subways .

They aren’t really. No matter where you are there’s a subway. Subway stations in Manhattan are the easiest to navigate . They go to all the major tourists stops.

Also get yourself a subway map and sit in the conductor car. They can help you

Sounds like fun! I considered it a triumph last year to get to Times Square and back to the hotel by myself, and it was a straight shot of about five blocks! LOL
