New York, Without the Guesswork

7 pages · 120+ links · instant download

New York is overwhelming. Too many options, too little time, and hours lost to research.

I did that research. I spent weeks planning my trip, then walked it — 15 to 20K steps a day — testing whether the famous places actually hold up. This guide is what came out of it. My own trip, my own photos. Not a list scraped off the internet.

What’s inside?

• Three full itineraries — 1 day, 3 days, 5 days — each day kept geographically tight so you’re not crossing the city twice
• My exact orders at every café and restaurant
• What’s worth the hype, and what I’d skip
• How much notice each thing needs, so you know what to book ahead and what you can decide on the day
• Six things I figured out the hard way, from the subway fare cap to how to actually pace a day
• A Google Maps list with every spot already pinned and grouped by neighbourhood

Not included: hotels, flights, or ticket prices. This is the plan, not the booking.

Whether it’s your first time or your second, this one saves you the work.
