I went to NYC for the first time this past June as a birthday present to myself and loved every single second. Felt like there was just an endless amount of things to do and see. I felt bad that I was only there a week cause I was rushing myself to do as much as I could since I didn’t know if I’d ever come back. I live in the Midwest and while there is a city around an hour drive away (St. Louis) it just doesn’t have anywhere near as much stuff that captures my interests so I rarely go there.
