The days are flying by, soon days will turn into weeks, and weeks into months, and before you know it, it’ll be time to leave New York City and relocate to Southern California. I feel as though I’m being forced to break up with my boyfriend that I never want to say goodbye to, perhaps “goodbye” is too strong of a word (I have issues letting go), let’s just say it’s time to begin a new chapter. Growing up in NJ most of my life, NYC has always been accessible to me, and thus I took this beautiful city for granted. There is so much that I have wanted to do, but more importantly, so many places I’ve wanted to dine at, but I just never prioritized my bucket list thinking I’ll eventually get to it when I do. For me, my bucket list is merely a list of restaurants. Being a foodie in New York City is a dream and I’m going to fulfill my heart’s every desire! So here we go, here are the 50 things I want to do before I leave NYC. To my family & friends, I’m accepting dates so hit me up if you’re interested! Places To Dine $$$$1.
