What do you do when you live in the greatest city in the world? Well, how I spent my summer vacation was enjoying New York via a staycation. New York is the place to be, with the food, culture, sights, and did I mention food?! There are numerous opportunities to enjoy the vast offerings of New York, and of course the amazing views!
