BlogHer 2012 Bound Pt. 5 - The Extras

One of the other big features of the BlogHer experience is location! This year it's in good old New York City! While this isn't a big deal to me, since I'm semi-local, it's huge for those that have never been! So many things to see and do. Where does one start? Well, if you do manage to find some time to do some sightseeing while in the city, here are some recommendations:

  • Go shopping! 5th Avenue and Time Square have some amazing stores! Some of them are attractions themselves, like the giant ferris wheel in Toys R Us! And the windows along 5th Avenue are so fun to look at! Some of my favorite shopping spots: Lego, FAO Schwatz, M&M, Disney, and of course Toys R Us!
  • See a show! New York City is home to the Great White Way! Make time to see a play! Wicked and the Lion King are must dos, and if you are a fan of The Big Bang Theory... Jim Parsons is currently staring in a revival of Harvey!
  • See the sights! Rockefeller Center, The Empire State Building, Ground Zero, Central Park... all must dos when you visit the city. I'd tell you to see the Statue of Liberty to, but it's currently closed for repairs.
  • Visit a museum! NYC is home to some of my favorite museums. The Natural History Museum, The Met, MOMA, The Guggenheim, Rose Planetarium... all great ways to spend a day!
  • Eat! NYC has tons of restaurants to fit every kind of palette. Even the food trucks are highly talked about! 
I'm sure if you were planning on coming to NYC, you've done your research... that is if you can find time to leave the BlogHer world for a little bit. The best tip I can tell you about visiting NYC is a little research and planning can go a long way. Oh, and slow down... just enjoy the fact you are in one of the greatest cities in the world!

So of my BlogHer cohorts have also written about things to do while in New York City, so give them a gander!
