New York City – Stay & Play

Right before Thanksgiving, Nathan and I got away for a few days in NYC to celebrate our anniversary. We had so much fun getting to spend time talking, playing around the city, and eating so much! Earlier this week I shared all of the amazing food and drinks that we loved in NYC. Today I’m going to share some of our favorite activities from this visit to NYC! I’ve saved down to my Instagram Highlights all of my favorite clips from the trip too.

Nathan and I have been to NYC numerous times, both together and as kids with our families. So, the things that we chose to do this time around were mostly off the beaten path. If you’ve never been to NY before, you absolutely need to to the big touristy things – The Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the World Trade Center Memorial. They are not to be missed things as an American city, or anyone visiting NYC.

Nathan had never done the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island before, and it had been 15 years since the last time I went, so we did hop over to Ellis Island for the afternoon one day.

New York City – Eat & Drink

Nathan & I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary by taking a long weekend getaway to one of our favorite cities: NYC. This was our third time to go to the city together, although, Nathan goes often for work. It was a wonderful four days getting to lay around in bed in the morning not watching Elmo, do some things in the city that we’ve never done before, and see some shows! I saved down my favorite clips from the vacation on my Instagram Highlights.

I’m breaking up our NYC trip into two parts: Eat & Drink, and Play & Stay tomorrow!

Joe’s Pizza in Greenwich Village

Joe’s Pizza (Greenwich) || Ya’ll. We have found our NY pizza. Kevin Bacon said that he wanted his last meal on Earth to be a slice from Joe’s, and after grabbing a slice…three separate times on our trip (YES! THREE!), we totally agree. It is the perfect, quintessential New York slice. Simple. Crisp, yet soft. Incredible. Nathan and I both agreed that this pizza was ‘go out of your way’ good.
