I went to New York for the first time and it was awesome! It was so different than expected, I really loved it there except the first day when it snowed :) And yes, we did all the touristy stuff and much more. We had so much great food - Chinese and Korean were my favorite. The MoMA made me speechless and Lady Liberty was fun. Architecture was also really amazing (except the WTC transportation hub was strange) and the squirrels in Central Park were too cute.
