8 day itinerary check
Hi everyone, I'm in my early 20s and looking for a review and any further recs of my current itinerary for 8 days in NYC from 10th Aug - 18th.
Coming from Melbourne, Australia, for a concert, and this will be my first time. Might seem like a lot, but I tend to move quite fast between spots. The same goes for my brother, who will be joining me on some or most days.
I have a long list of food to check out, which I will decide upon on the day. Am also looking to see Hamilton one of the evenings, along with visiting numerous jazz/live music bars (which I also have a list of).
