Happy New Year! This past New Year/ New Year Eve, I got to visit New York City for the first time. It was pretty overwhelming but I had some great hosts that made my first experience with the city very palatable. I thought I'd share some of the things that I did.
1. Visit the Freedom Tower. The freedom tower is an observatory located on the 100-102 floor of the new World-Trade Building that was rebuilt. The view was extraordinary and I definitely got a feel for the geography of major landmarks.

2. The Museum of Natural History. I never knew the name of this museum, but once I entered, I quickly realized that it was the same museum from the movie Night at the Museum. I was instantly excited. There is so much stuff to see there and I would definitely go back again.

5. Along the same lines of food, I also got to eat some great Jamaican and Thai food. I loved being in a diverse environment where I could find literally anything that I wanted to eat. Northern Indiana is not the most diverse location so I enjoyed the environment especially in Long Island.
6. The Louis Vuitton Exhibit. There was a pop up exhibit for Louis Vuitton and I enjoyed it quite a bit. There was a lot of history on the brand, how bags are made, and designer collaborations that have happened. The best part about it was that it was free!
It was a cold and short trip, but I cannot wait to return and see more of what the city has to offer... especially when it's not so cold.
XOXO
