Heading to NYC? Here’s the essential guide to the greatest city in the world.<\/p>\n
New York is a city that needs no introduction. When I arrived here from London in 2013, the streets were so familiar that it felt like I had relocated to a movie set. Like so many newcomers before me, I fell for New York\u2019s inimitable energy\u2013the sense that any normal day has the potential to become extraordinary based on a single encounter or discovery. <\/p>\n
Since then, more than a decade has passed (the benchmark for claiming the label \u201cofficial New Yorker\u201d\u2013at least if you ask the transplants). Still, the city continues to surprise me.

This guide is full of tried-and-true recommendations that will steer you right, whether you\u2019re planning your first trip to NYC or the latest of many.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a list of everything you must do in New York City, plus the best places to eat, the top hotels for any budget, and a few tips for things to avoid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Heading to NYC?
