Planning a trip to New York City can be quite overwhelming.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been traveling to “The City” for twenty years, and I still have a never-ending list of things I want to do.\u00a0 The energy, the people, the design…it’s an endless source of inspiration.\u00a0 Are you headed to NYC soon? If not, you should be!\u00a0 Here are my five tips on planning a trip to “the city that never sleeps.”<\/p>\n

\"Planning<\/a>
View of NYC from Dream Downtown<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One:\u00a0 Define your trip objective.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Is it your first time in New York City?\u00a0 Is it your hundredth?\u00a0 What do you see yourself doing the most?\u00a0 Do you want to shop?\u00a0 Do you want to eat? Do you want see a show?\u00a0 As in any big city, New York City neighborhoods are clearly defined.\u00a0 To save time, I recommend making reservations ahead of time at a hot restaurant or research which shows you want to see once in the city.\u00a0 Dining Traveler Tip: Contact the hotel concierge in advance for restaurant or theater bookings.<\/p>\n

\"Planning<\/a>
Room at The London NYC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Two:\u00a0 Where to stay.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong> By defining your objective, it will be easier to figure out where to stay.\u00a0 If you are headed to NYC for the first time, you will want to take in Times Square, Broadway, and of course shopping.\u00a0 If you are traveling for a short period of time, it\u2019s better to be in the middle of everything.\u00a0 A great pick is The London NYC Hotel<\/a>: an all-suite hotel, perfect for travel with a family or a small group of friends.<\/p>\n

\"Planning<\/a>
Noodle Find: XO Chinatown<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Three:\u00a0 What to pack.\u00a0<\/strong> <\/em>With baggage fees on the rise, you want to be more conscientious on what you pack.\u00a0 There is plenty of walking in NYC.\u00a0 If your agenda is hard-core sightseeing, I recommend comfy shoes such as stylish flats (my pick: Tod\u2019s<\/a>) or sneakers (but not running sneakers! Can you say “tourist?”).\u00a0 Look at the weather. NYC can be extremely hot in the summer.\u00a0 Pack loose, comfortable pieces.<\/p>\n

\"Planning<\/a>
Gansevoort Market<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Four:\u00a0 What to eat.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Eating in NYC is an experience of its own!\u00a0 Step away from chain restaurants.\u00a0 More than likely you can find the Olive Garden at home. Head to Chinatown <\/a>for dim sum, noodles, and delicious pork buns. Are you a carnivore?\u00a0 Try a Korean BBQ in Koreatown.\u00a0 Take a trip around the world with affordable eats at The Gansevoort Market.\u00a0 With Colombian arepas to Thai Food stalls, there are plenty of indulgent choices.\u00a0 My favorite part of NYC for great eats is Downtown. I enjoyed staying at Dream Downtown<\/a> last fall with a plethora of choices surrounding the hotel, from Chelsea Market to the beautiful The Park NYC restaurant.<\/p>\n

\"Planning<\/a>
View of NYC from Queens, NY<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Five:\u00a0 See the boroughs!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em> Many visitors see NYC as just Manhattan, however, there is plenty to see in the other four boroughs.\u00a0 Catch a Yankees game in the Bronx or a Mets game in Queens.\u00a0 If you can catch a \u201csubway series\u201d (Mets vs. Yankees!), it\u2019s an added bonus. You will see New Yorkers in their full element.\u00a0 Go for a stroll along the Brooklyn Heights Promenade for impressive views of Manhattan. Want to stay off the beaten path? Book a stay at The Ravel Hotel<\/a> in Long Island City.\u00a0 I stayed there seven years ago and still dream of the epic view of the New York City skyline from its rooftop!<\/p>\n

\"Planning<\/a>
The Bar Scene at Cosme NYC<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although I am a frequent traveler to New York City, I still have a long list of places to discover and places to eat.\u00a0 On my list:\u00a0 One World Trade Center, The Plaza Hotel Food Hall, and a Brooklyn Nets game.\u00a0 Are you planning a trip to New York City? What are you looking forward to see or do or eat the most?<\/p>\n
