Things To Do
Liberty State Park
Head to Liberty State Park for breathtaking views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the Manhattan skyline. It's the perfect spot for a leisurely walk or a relaxing afternoon.
Hudson Waterfront Walkway
Take a scenic walk along Jersey City's waterfront pathway, which stretches along the Hudson River. It's a beautiful spot for a jog or a calm walk with amazing views of the city. This is where Alex & Jamie spent their second date!
Central Park
No trip to NYC is complete without a visit to Central Park. Whether you're cycling, walking, or just relaxing, this iconic park offers a beautiful oasis in the middle of the city. Be sure to check out the Bethesda Terrace, Strawberry Fields, and the Central Park Zoo.

Food Tours & Local Eats
New York City is famous for its food! Take a food tour in neighborhoods like Chinatown, Little Italy, or Greenwich Village, or simply grab a slice of classic New York pizza from a local pizzeria (our recommendation is always Joe's Pizza) Be sure to try a bagel or two while you're here!
