Hello everyone! I’m flying out to New York for New Year’s Eve with my fiance. It will be our first trip to the east coast so I wanted some advice about New York city life. We’re staying a couple of miles away from Times Square in Manhattan.
I just wanted to know the best recommended places to go shopping and dining. It doesn’t have to be specific names. Just the general areas of where to go. Any advice would be wonderful.
Happy holidays all!
