New York City is one of my favorite places to visit. The energy, the food, the sights – it’s all so exhilarating. This is such a special place for us because we got engaged in NYC and having Bo there with us made it even sweeter. Here’s everything we fit into our 48 hours in NYC.
We started our trip by checking into the legendary Plaza Hotel, where we embarked on the ultimate Home Alone adventure. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay extra memorable for both us and Bo. Starting the day right, we indulged in Sarahbeth’s famous pancakes and omelets at breakfast. Then, we hopped on a horse and buggy ride in Central Park, followed by a boat ride and snacks by the water.
For lunch, we couldn’t resist a visit to Serendipity 3. And let me tell you, their frozen hot chocolate lived up to the hype! Energized and ready for more, we explored various shops while Bo soaked up the city’s vibrant atmosphere. As a huge baseball fan, we made our way to Yankee Stadium for an unforgettable game. The perfect ending to our exciting day was at Le Coucou, where we enjoyed drinks and amazing desserts.
Day two started with breakfast at La Grande Boucherie. Fueled up and ready to explore, we embarked on a tour of the newly opened Summit One Vanderbilt skyscraper. Its breathtaking views left us in awe. For lunch, we stopped at Grand Banks, where we dined on fresh seafood while taking in stunning cityscape panoramas. We also made stops at toy stores like FAO Schwarz and Lego, making childhood dreams come true.
At noon, we set sail on a cruise to the Statue of Liberty. We also enjoyed some sweet fun at the Museum of Ice Cream and Sloomoo, truly immersing ourselves in happiness. The Polo Bar stole the show for dinner, with its chic ambiance and mouthwatering cuisine. And of course, no trip to NYC is complete without a glimpse of Times Square at night — I don’t care how many times I’ve been to the city, Times Square at night is always a favorite.
Our whirlwind two-day trip to NYC was an absolute blast. We managed to fit in so much! There’s truly something incredibly special about this city, everywhere you turn there are endless attractions, landmarks, entertainment, history, culture – it just goes on and on. We feel so lucky to have had the amazing experience of visiting this incredible place with Bo. Whether you plan on packing as much as we did into 48 hours or taking a leisurely stroll through Central Park I hope this itinerary helps you plan your perfect weekend in NYC.
