Day 1: Departure from Munich and late arrival in NYC at 11 p.m. Shuttle bus will take me to the hotel “New Yorker”

Day 2: I love architecture! So I’ll spend the first half of the day to admire the Flat Iron Building and the Empire Building. I’ll be for lunch at Chipotle Mexican Grill and try how a Burrito tastes. I have never eaten a burrito before. Some friends told me that it’s A MUST to eat burritos in NY.

Day 3: I’ll start with the 9/11 memorial. Then I’ll grab some lunch and relax in Central Park. In the evening I’ll discover Chinatown and go to the restaurant “Buddha Bodai” and have an excellent dinner there.

Day 4: On the 4^th day I’ll be exploring the Wall Street and I’m so excited what is going on there. An in the late afternoon I’ll watch “Wicked” show on the Broadway.

Day 5: Architecture again :D. So I’ll visit the Rockefeller Center and have a great scenery of Manhattan at the top of the roof. The next sight will be St. Patrick’s Cathedral. For lunch and dinner I’ll just grab some food from New York streets.

Day 6: Museum day! Well, I thought to buy an New York Pass, which allows you to visit any museum in New York. What I’d like to see is the Guggenheim Museum and the Skyscraper museum. And if there’s some time left I might visit other museums.

Day 7: Books :D, I love reading and therefore I’d like to see a pretty nice bookstore “The Housing Works Bookstore”. It should look like a living room in your own home and you can have a coffee or tea in there and decide in peace and quiet what you’d like to buy. Then I’ll see the Statue of Liberty.

Day 8: Lincoln Center is a huge area and a paradise for shopping. Here I’ll spend the whole day with shopping and hopefully I’ll be successful :D

Day 9: Shopping again! I think I won’t spend the whole day on shopping. But day 9 is still keep open. Maybe I’ll come up with something I’d like to do in the past few days.

Day 10: Oh noooo, I have already to leave NYC at 10 a.m. Flight back to Munich.
