New York! The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

First State off the ranks is New York since we are working our way from one side to the other. The plans will probably change a million times before we actually make it to the great American shores but for now this is my dream. We will get to New York, I have already sourced a cute little backpackers for us to stay at because the cost of this trip is astronomical I want to save where and when I can.
The New York list also includes Massachusetts because that will be a one dayer to watch a baseball game at Fenway and meet the beautiful Melissa.

 THE BUCKET LIST
Drink at The Way Station - a bar with a TARDIS come on what is not to love! It is a must and hopefully the TARDIS is still there as this is the attraction for us!

Visit Central Park - ever since Stuart Little I have wanted to visit this park.

Visit Time Square - does this really have to be explained? Besides Sex and the City it's one of the first things people associate with New York.

Shop on 5th Avenue - this may mean window shop but a girl can dream right?!

Ride the subway - because they have subways!!!

See the Statue of Liberty - I want to see how big it really is.

Visit Ground Zero - because although not living in America 9/11 had a HUGE impact on the entire world, I still remember exactly where I was when the News announced the first plane had hit. I was in Mr O'Donnel's Chemistry class.

Shop at Macy's - it is in nearly every American movie that is set in New York, plus it has 2 floors of shoes, I am there for the shoes!

Go to Carlo's Bake Shop - I love the show, I love cake - winner!

Visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art - I love Art so this is a must for me.

Hail a cab in New York - Just because it is so different to here.

Have coffee at Central Perk - I was a HUGE friends fan back in the day so this would be pretty cool.

Drink at McGee's - this is the bar that McLaren's was based on in HIMYM

Again this list may grow, it may change but for the moment this is what I want to do while in New York. I'm sure I'll also be trying a hot dog from the cute little sidewalk (must get used to saying sidewalk, nobody will understand footpath I don't think) vendors. I have no doubt my husband will HAVE to eat cheesecake in New York. Food is a huge reason I want to visit the US, the food and culture just attract me so much. I certainly want to experience the street food.
