My NYC 1 Year Anniversary Bucket List!

So in 4 months I will have been living in New York City for 1 year!!!! Whooooo hooooo!

My how time flies when you’re having fun. But only I haven’t had as much fun as I would have thought. There are so many things in New York that I have yet to experienced. So I decided to make a list.

My sister and I use to make list and we were very productive and felt very accomplished, so I’m hoping this will provide the same results.

This list is not in any specific order and I’m sure I will be updating it with more specific links and other information as I start crossing things off. I also hope to blog with a little more detail about each of my experiences. I picked 38 things because I just celebrated my 38^th Birthday (yeah me).
