The last time I went to NYC was last July and you can achieve it here. Planning an itinerary requires lots of brainstorming, some trial and error, and researching about an ideal place that fits the time as well as budget.
This time is during my midterms at Temple along with my senior thesis papers.
So I have a chance to visit NYC and this time to One World Observatory Deck (a bucket list) because it is the extraordinarily fun place to experience the observatory view of NYC.
My last trip did not visit there, and I want to endorse my travel experiences. Here is my itinerary I created three weeks from my fun NYC weekend:
Day 1:
- Drop off my bag at Q4 Hostel
- One World Observatory Deck – My favorite
- Quick Lunch @ McDonald’s (not my favorite)
- Walk at Hudson River Park – Scenic View
- Check in at Q4 Hostel
- Flushing, NY for Dinner (Diverse Dim Sum)
- Walking around Flushing and New World Mall
Day 2:
- Breakfast at DD
- Check-out at Q4 Hostel
- Buy souvenirs at Sunrise Mart (Japanese Market) – (Kit Kat, Matcha Tea in box, Pocky snacks, other snacks for my family)
- Walk on 14th Street – Across Manhattan
- Columbus Circle Shopping Mall – Brought Lunch
- High Line Park

Because of these places I have not been to before, I researched which sites I want to visit. I was grateful my NYC planning went smoothly. You will see how I worked out with my itinerary planning.
I used my activity planned to plan by using which activities are suitable for me personally. I am delighted that my trip went well so I can reflect my NYC travel experience.
