Shopping is definitely one of the top 5 things to do in NYC due to the insane number of stores you can find. Manhattan alone has more shopping streets than you can imagine. Stop on Broadway or on Fifth Avenue. If it happens to be raining, enjoy one of the many indoor malls, such as Bergdorf Goodman, Macy’s, or Bloomingdales.

Capturing the Manhattan Skyline

You can’t come all the way to NYC and not take a picture of your bridal party with the Manhattan skyline in the background. There are two places in the city that offer the best skyline views: in Brooklyn and at the Statue of Liberty. You can take A both a liberty cruise to and a Brooklyn bus tour.

Celebrate with a Margarita

Take a break from all the sightseeing and go get some margaritas with your friends. There are a lot of places in the city where you can get some great margaritas, but you should definitely check out Mayahuel, Ofrenda, El Parador Café, or La Biblioteca de Tequila.

Catch a Broadway Show
