How To Do New York in Five Days - Itinerary

The hardest part of planning my itinerary was finding inspiration online! I then realised you have to plan your own trip revolved around your interests and goals.

I wrote a list of places I definitely wanted to visit and had a look on Google maps at which places are close to each other before setting them in groups making days of each of them. Obviously, after Will booked his flights to join me we have tweaked a couple of bits and after finding out there were no basketball games or baseball games on whilst we are there we changed our evenings up a little.

Without further adieu, let's move on to my jam packed itinerary!
