We love New York City.

You know those tourist t-shirts that everyone who visits NYC seems to have? Well, yeah, they don’t lie. Everyone we’ve talked to who has been to the Big Apple has fallen in love with it.

So now we want you to as well!

For this wintry Wednesday (here in New Zealand, anyway) we thought it would be nice to show you some of our favourite photos of New York that will make you want to pack your bags right now!

Fancy taking a helicopter ride over Manhattan? The view is spectacular:

The buildings are so grand and there are always so many people everywhere. We loved the Whispering Gallery in Grand Central Station – ask a local if you can’t find it!

Despite NYC being a concrete jungle for the most part, there are lots of little green spaces that are pretty peaceful. We especially liked Washington Square Park in the West Village.

The views of Manhattan from Williamsburg can’t be beaten – and the food across that side of the East River is pretty damn good too!

The Highline (on the right) is one of our favourite parts of New York City. It’s so nice being elevated above the hot, loud city streets and it helps that there is some delicious food at the end – the Chelsea Markets!

Walking over the Brooklyn Bridge is a must-do for visitors to NYC. Yes, it’s busy, yes, it’s cliched, but you have to do it!

Do you want to visit New York City now? Bet you do!
