3. West Village

NYC has tons of quaint and quirky neighborhoods and one that you must stroll through is the West Village. It’s in Manhattan and is a great place to get lost in with its tree-line cobblestone streets that were practically the same in the 19^th century, so it’s like walking on history!

6. Shop At Bergdorf’s

You won’t be able to shop at Bergdorf’s in any other city since there’s only one shop and that’s in NYC. Even if you can’t afford anything, it’s still fun to just browse around and dream that one day you can afford something from there.
