In my efforts to start over, I am leaving New York. This has nothing to do with the whole not getting a career in publishing and everything to do with not being able to afford living in the city any longer. The two may correlate but it’s not a cause and effect type thing.
ANYWAY. I have an amazing friend who created a list of things for me to do before I leave the city. The New York City Bucket as shown below is split into two sections: things you can do for free and things that require a little money.
Free Stuff:
- Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge
- Coney Island. Ride the Cyclone (which may cost money, but >$5)
- Eat every food sample in Chelsea Market
- Try to get seats for a live taping of the Daily Show, SNL or something
- WTC Memorial
- Karaoke party with everyone at a bar. On friends.
Money Stuff:
- Go to the Met and the Cloisters ($25)

- Eat at Wo Hop with our friend Archie because he won’t stop talking about how awesome it is
- Take a boat ride in Central Park ($14.50)
http://www.thecentralparkboathouse.com/sections/boats.htm - Pier 25 Mini Golf ($5-10) http://pier25.com/mini-golf/
- Get a drink and tater tots at PDT ($20) http://pdtnyc.com/
All of this is, of course, things I haven't done in the city yet so... it musts be dones.
Addendum:
A couple more things to do before I go -
- Picnic with close friends on a beautiful spring day
- Exploring the top half of Central Park
