A Day Living Like a "Street Rat" in New York ππ½
Today was all about exploring Midtown Manhattan. My hotel is down in the Wall Street area, so I started the morning at the π Brooklyn Bridge Pedestrian Walkway. It was an easy 10-minute walk from my location β just followed my phone's GPS. ππ£ Next, I ended up at π Times Square (originally meant to go to Fifth Avenue but got drawn into the bright lights!). One big advantage New York has over California? The subway system β it covers almost the entire city! Just follow your navigation to the nearest station. Gotta say, as soon as I entered the subway, that distinct herbal scent hit meβ¦ πΏπ Thankfully, around Times Square in winter, I didnβt notice the infamous urine smell people talk about online. Third stop: π Rockefeller Center to see the famous Christmas tree! πβ¨ The crowds were massive β probably because of the holiday season. Fourth stop: Fifth Avenue, where I spotted the gorgeous LV trunk building π’ β definitely coming back for afternoon tea if I have time! Fifth stop: Back to Rockefeller Center for our reservation at Top of the Rock. Why here? Because Summit One Vanderbilt was completely sold out for days β a real regret for this trip! π Reminder: Book Summit tickets way in advance if you want to go!

Final tips for NY travelers: bring moisturizer, wear comfy shoes, and dress warmly β this city is dazzling, but winter here is brutally cold! βοΈπ§£ #StudyAbroad #NewYork #WanderingAround #Travel #NYCGuide #CityLife #WinterTravel #ExploreNYC #TravelTips #UrbanAdventure
