New York City Bucketlist 🗽

I visited New York for the first time in 2007 and have been wanting to go back ever since.. It’s one of the top points on my Bucketlist! 🙂
There’s just something about the amazing chaos, diversity, energy and inspiration. The excitement of every neighborhood (because they’re all so different!), whether it’s a new restaurant, bar og unique store opening up.. As the years have gone by, I still haven’t been back to New York, but I would like to change that one day. And when I do, I will do it right. I wanna make sure I have enough time to explore everything this crazy city has to offer, I’m therefore starting with the #1 point on my New York City Bucketlist;
