I went to New York City in July and it was a dream.

My boyfriend and I had been dying to visit the city together. We had both visited before separately, and had been waiting for the day where we could experience NYC’s magic as a couple - and that we did! We jam packed our 5-day stay, and still left feeling like we wanted to visit again immediately. This city really is special, and it can be a completely different experience no matter how many times you visit.

We scaled Manhattan and Brooklyn, ate great pizza, mastered the subway, drank great coffee, visited art galleries, and got to see one of our favorite hip hop artists perform. Keep on scrolling to see snippets of what we’d call a perfect trip.
