If you are traveling to New York City, this is the vlog for you to watch to figure out some top things to do in NYC! We are giving you a local guide to NYC food, sights, and things to do.
Whether you are going to NYC for the first time or live in New York (like we do) this video shows you a variety of places to go in the different boroughs of NYC, including tourist activities for anyone looking for calm vibes and some activities for all the thrillseekers and even some everyday spots to check out for locals.
Central Park is Liv’s favorite park in the world so we went all throughout exploring Bethesda Terrace, Belvedere Castle, Bow Bridge, Turtle Pond, and Central Park North.
Watch this before visiting New York City so you can plan accordingly. We squeezed all of this into a 3 day weekend staycation in NYC!

Born & raised in Bklyn. Wondering if they still have ice skating at prospect park. Also, the Promenade is a nice scene. Its so funny, i was like what is on Staten Island? And you guys said you were turning around. TRUE NYers. Brooklynites dont even consider it a borough. I do wonder what they have there.
