Meander through endless halls of artsy inspiration at The Met.
I’m capping off this list with a controversial one! New York City doesn’t typically make these sorts of solo travel lists because non-locals can view it as a bit intimidating or unsafe. But, in truth, I can’t think of a better U.S. city for solo travel! It is one of the only places where it’s TOTALLY normal to walk around, dine, and explore a city alone. It’s also incredibly accessible without a car. Stroll through Central Park, then brunch at Sarabeth’s on Central Park South. Peruse adorable boutiques in SoHo. Meander through endless halls of artsy inspiration at The Met. Dine at some of Manhattan’s BEST restaurants in the cobblestone streets of the west village. Hop over the bridge and walk along the DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights waterfronts. There’s so much to keep you busy! Feel like you need a night in to recoup from all of that city walking? No place on earth has a stronger food delivery game! If you can muster up the courage for it, New York City is truly a solo traveler’s paradise. And check out some of my best solo travel safety tips!
