Traveling to New York City and looking for a way to see it all and have a great time too? Check out how we visited New York City in a Day.
New York City in a Day!
We visited New York City for a blogging conference and only had one day to check out NYC. We started our trip out with a very long flight and some Ativan (hello flight anxiety). We arrived around midnight in NYC and hailed our first cab to our hotel. We crashed out pretty quickly and then were up bright and early to head into Manhattan. We decided to take a guided Grayline Bus Tour around the city to see as many of the sights as we could fit in! We jumped in our little bus and experienced all the traffic NYC has to offer…oh and some stunning architecture.

We got off the fairy and drove to Rockefeller Center. This was the last stop of our guided tour. We were able to take the elevator to the “Top of the Rock” and see the skyline. The only issue was the weather and visibility was not great and it started pouring rain.
