New Yorker-approved experiences in the Big Apple

“I’d lived in NYC for a decade and never done anything on this list, so I went undercover as a tourist for the day to try them all out, taking my camera to capture every moment. From hop-on, hop-off buses (the view, OMG) to an iconic diner (meh) to sunset cruises in the East River (where even I learned some things about the city), I discovered what all the fuss was about. Some of them were much better than others, and if you can impress a New Yorker, it must be good.”
