It’s where all the well-known tourist attractions are found so naturally, those visiting NYC for the first time will gravitate to the touristy stuff.

Coming from Toronto, I am a short one and a half hour flight away which means I have the luxury of visiting the Big Apple more frequently.

The island is amazing! All I’m saying is that when you say New York there are four other boroughs besides Manhattan to explore. Since my beautiful family resides in Brooklyn New York it was the obvious borough to explore first.
