[@TheWanderingPurl]

Whoa! What a generous spirit Knitty City has!
Can't wait to see the next yarn store tour!

[@Morganroadknits]

Our best trip was taking our daughter to all the museums and a broadway show in the early 2000’s. She is very artsy and now lives in San Francisco and is a designer for a company in the Bay Area. We attribute a lot of her success to our many trips to New York.

[@micheledelacruz4301]

Funny, my son used to live in NY and now is back in the bay area, maybe those two p!aces are similar.

[@denisewessman1079]

I adore that he is keeping his mothers legacy alive!!!! Real men knit!!!!!!

[@AidaBoza]

It’s so generous of Knit City. I have had so many wonderful time in NYC with my children and my husband.

[@rhubarbburble5368]

I am in the UK. My husband and I visited New York in 2005.
We wanted to see ‘Wicked’ on Broadway because it hadn’t opened in London yet. We planned to watch it on the Monday evening but didn’t realise the shows were closed on Mondays and we were flying back on Tuesday afternoon. 😢 However, the rest of our visit was amazing! We did all the things like going up the Empire State Building, taking a horse and carriage ride thru Central Park, doing the NBC tour, going to FAO Schwartz toy store, visiting Times Square and taking the Staten Island ferry to see the Statue of Liberty. We will definitely visit again in a heartbeat but will have to wait till I’ve had, and recovered from, my double hip replacement!! 🎉 Thanks to Knitty City and you, Knitty Natty, for this amazing giveaway. ❤

[@evelynshedd585]

Had a wonderful trip to NYC with my granddaughter. A whole week of fun seeing as much as we could see. We even got to go to knit city. Best trip ever.

[@carolincedarmill]

Love this store and Zac’s continuation of his mother’s work.

[@thepvds6284]

My favorite visit to NYC was after my husband and I got engaged. He showed me the city, all the places he loved and used to work in, and all his family!

[@janbunnell9609]

The best times I had in NYC has been to walk around and people watch and see all the amazing plays!!!

[@catherineweaver3652]

My fav visit to NY was the Easter after 9/11 when my family met me there for a week together. I was living in Europe at the time, and feeling nostalgic for my US home and the NYC love. We saw the sites, visited a very devastated ground zero, saw Aida, and ate & ate all the things. Love to you Natalie - thx for this great KnittyCity tour!

[@karenmattingly362]

Very generous of Knitty City! Lived in NYC for a dozen years and still miss it. The museums! The Theater! The FOOD! 😂

[@portialee1885]

My favorite memory of NYC was visiting with my family when my kids were younger, catching up with old friends and eating amazing food! We stayed in Nola and has such a wonderful time!

[@ambling2]

Best time in NYC…..most recently in Jan 2023….loved walking, taking the subway, Whitney museum, seeing Chicago, Wall Street, …so so much but I love the great vib from all the people. What a fun exhilarating place!

[@ThinkingOutThere]

I’m very fortunate to live in Brooklyn, NY. I daily hop in the train and enjoy everything about NYC. I love the museums, book stores for crochet 🧶, incredible broadway shows and lately Lincoln Center. The operas are just wonderful along with the music concerts and ballets. Let’s not forget delicious food in every corner 😁 The list of wonderful experiences are endless. Thank you Kitty City for such great gifts 🧶 🗽

[@sandyaltman27]

One of my best days in NYC was when the Met museum reopened after the Covid lockdown. I spent five hours cherishing what I had missed for all the time they were closed. Every November on marathon day is another fabulous time to be in NYC. It is when people from the whole world come together and the streets become one gigantic 26.2miles of cheering and positive energy! And the Bryant Park knit along in public day in June! ❤️ 🧶!

[@caravancrafts1332]

Natalie! This was so well timed for me, as my son returned from his holiday in NY in the second week of June. I may have mentioned to him that it’d be cool if he found time to pop into Knitty City to buy me a souvenir! Lucky me! He did just that…… and bought me a skein of Lyndseys Five Boroughs yarn! Which is stunning.
He is only 19 and this was his first trip on a plane -I was super anxious about him being in the Big Apple, but came home with wonderful tales to tell of NewYorkers and their friendly demeanour! Who knew? Not me!
I would love to come and see the city for myself some day and now I’ve seen inside the shop - Knitty City will be a definite destination.
Thanks for your cool content - good luck with the move - I’ll be living my travelling dreams vicariously through you guys for the next wee while!

[@reginatripp7492]

My family went to NY on New Years Eve day in the early 2000’s. It was the craziest experience ever! We were in a mini-van. The parking areas did not allow mini-vans. So we double parked & took turns going to the restroom. That was a chore as stores wanted you to purchase before using their restroom. We finally found a hospital in the middle of a block & used theirs. We were amazed to see the taxis with push bars on front & on back. We watched a taxi driver spray paint a dent right there on the street. The traffic was crazy. I doubt I ever get back to NY as my husband hated the experience. Thank you Natalie for showing me so much good in NY!!

[@keylamcclure552]

Visiting The Met will always be my favorite. It is always so inspiring and leaves me walking away with fresh, creative ideas. Can’t get enough ❤

[@marytutschek8689]

My most memorable trip to the Big Apple was my first solo subway ride, from 42nd- uptown. Dropping a token into the turnstile, the noise, smells and the people. Been MANY times since. Never gets old.

[@eileenkuehni5370]

I took my daughter and 2 grandson's to New York in 2019 right before Covid hit. It was the best vacation so far. The boys loved it. The 911 memorial was the most moving place we have ever been to. The boys were not born yet but knew of it. They were brought to tears.
New York is such an amazing place. I will hate to see you leave it. I have enjoyed your trips around town. Best of luck on your new van adventure.

[@DeathKnellPresents]

My husband had never been to NY before! - we planned a whole wonderful trip last spring & loved every minute! 💕 we wandered through parks, saw live music and managed to make beautiful memories. 😊I have so many friend in NY and I need to go back this minute to visit.

[@eileengoeslean-vsg7808]

Our best time in NYC was when our son was 9 or 10 years old and he was completely obsessed with Home Alone and all of the New York landmarks. So for his dream vacation, we came to NY and first went to see ‘Live with Regis and Kathie Lee’ then walked him all over the city. FAO Schwartz, Park Plaza, 30 Rock, Empire State Building, etc. He LOVED it! One other time, the company I work for (in Rhode Island) was to ring the Nasdaq opening bell. I had only been with the company about three months at the time. The company chartered a huge bus and 50 of us (we have about 600 employees) left Westerly RI, at 4am and did the Nasdaq thing. The photo of us ringing the bell was on the cover of our Annual Report that year. BTW, I knit the whole trip down and back. Then a group of us went over to the World Trade Center and took it all in, had a lovely lunch ar a wonderful Italian restaurant nearby and ended the day with me knitting in Bryant Park. Absolutely fantastic day - long (we got back to RI around 7:30 pm), but absolutely unforgettable! ❤

[@laurahauser6829]

Very generous of Nitty City to give 3 gifts away😊 I used to live on Long Island and I miss New York very much. We used to go into NYC at Christmas to see the tree, go in for Plays and concerts. I haven’t been there in many years now but would love to go to NYC and go to Central Park and just walk around. Have a safe trip Natalie and Kent!😊

[@HyperCactus72]

My favorite trip to New York City was when Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s “The Gates” orange curtains art display was up in Central Park in February 2005. Just stunningly beautiful against the snowy backdrop of the park and the City! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@nanahuff418]

When I came to NYCor to visit my friends and my now husband Jim. He proposed to my at the New Yorker Hotel and we have been together for 53 yrs and have lived in NYC for 46 yrs. Love this city. Thanks Natalie for doing a video about Knitty City. It is a great yarn store.

[@bymalloryb]

Natalie - What an awesome yarn store tour and how wonderful that they were so generous with gifts for you to give away to us! I'll definitely have to visit Knitty City (and Levain, of course!) the next time I'm in New York! My favorite NYC memory/trip is a tossup between our trips in July 2017 and June 2018. In 2017 when we were visiting, my sister took us to a Yankees game (my first ever and my avid-Yankees fan husband's first time in the new stadium) and little did we know ahead of time that we were on the first base line like 10 rows up from the field. It was incredible to get to see my husband so excited! Then our trip in June 2018 we visited my sister and her then-fiance, now husband, again and we had a wonderful couple of days with them. We enjoyed restaurants, walked up the High Line, and got to see The Cursed Child. Great memories of NYC and I can't wait to make more with yarn stores involved.

[@craftsywendy]

I would love to visit the museums and all of the yarn stores. Thank you to Knitty City for donating such an awesome giveaway.

[@yarnjam2022]

My best NYC memory was making a sign to say hello to my grandad while visiting the Today Show!! He saw it from our tiny town in Michigan that morning❤

[@alisonjohnson8623]

My mom took me to New York for my 19th birthday in 1998 and we had a blast going shopping, trying new restaurants and seeing shows on Broadway.

[@AnotherCloudyDay]

I have been fortunate to visit New York City several times in my life. I have seen 42nd street on Broadway, eaten at Sardi’s, shopped at all the famous name stores for dresses as a young girl, watched the opening of animated Pocahontas in Central Park during college days, and just a few weeks ago spent a fabulous weekend seeing Hamilton and The Lion King. Every time I am in the city it is a new experience and it just adds to the fabulous memories that I have of NYC!

[@ellensutliff2310]

Dreaming of a trip to visit my daughter (who works for Central Park Conservancy) where she drops me at Knitty City on her way to work, I stop by Levain Bakery and then Knit on a Central Park bench. Thank you Natalie for your inspiration! You are a true treasure.

[@debbieoglesby1431]

My sister and I visited NYC many years ago. We went to Ellis Island and looked up our grandmother as she came through Ellis Island in 1908 from Sweden. Getting her manifest provided us with the town where she was raised and we were able to visit her hometown and the house she where she grew up in Hjo, Sweden. The owners were very gracious and let us see the inside of the house. My sister and I also visited the 911 memorial, which was very sobering. We ate at Tavern on the Green before they closed, which was amazing. I love your podcasts and look forward to seeing what states you visit in your next chapter of van life.

[@casmith06615]

So generous of Knitty City! My favorite trip to NYC was to see Meghan Trainer on the Plaza at the Today Show. We were right in front of the stage and had the best time!

[@janicerizzi1935]

I grew up on Long Island and work in music. I spent most of the 90s in dirty, gritty rock clubs in the village, watching all my friends' bands play their brains out. I always drove in because no train schedule can contain me!!! But I also ended up with more than a few parking tickets 😂😂😂 but we were in our 20s and invincible. Best time ever.

[@heatherrohrs728]

My best trip to New York? I've been there 4 times. 3 to see my sister who lived there and most recently to do the 5 Boro Bike Tour. It was an amazing experience. I went with my son, sister, her boyfriend, and his siblings. We had beautiful weather and an amazing time. Thank you Knitty City for this chance to win! While I don't have Instagram I did like their Facebook page!

[@marypassalacqua2490]

My favorite visit to New York City was on my first date with my husband. It was our first time meeting in person, and we went to the MET. We just walked and talked for hours, and I didn’t want to the day to end. 6 years later and I’ll never forget it - New York will always hold a piece of my heart.

[@esy516]

Any trip to NYC is my favorite trip. But being a native New Yorker now living in Canada, I love visiting whenever I can. But my favorite trip is one filled with eating my favorite foods, seeing a Broadway show, and just walking every where.

[@samanthabrook9323]

I grew up about 45 minutes from Manhattan, and I have the greatest memories of skating at Rockefeller Center, seeing amazing Broadway shows, and the delicious food! I miss it so much, and can't wait to visit again someday with my daughter.

[@SuperTragicClown]

Had a bit of a crisis turning 30 so I got on a plane from sweden to New York for my first ever solo trip for my birthday. I'll always conect NY with feeling independent and free after that amazing holiday.

[@lindas.5986]

Have not been to New York City, but have been to upstate New York. Beautiful area and full of history. Knitty City was very generous with their donations. Enjoy your upcoming adventures.

[@thatygurez498]

My best memory of New York is walking next to the old, old buildings and seeing how time has passed. See how people lived before vs now. To see the trees when they change in autumn to those bright oranges, to see how the city changes even though everything is concrete.

[@marinaroark2323]

My best trip to NYC was for my daughters 10th birthday. We brought her to the American Girl Doll store, then went out for a great lunch. She had a blast, it was a great day!

[@ninawilhelm36]

I went to the New York World"s Fair in 1965 with girlfriends.. Had such a great time, I booked a trip for my parent's 25th wedding anniversary to attend as well. Then my Mom felt bad that my little sister hadn't gone, so she took her. So we all went to NYC in 1965. Great memories.

[@beckyembree9371]

My favorite memory of NYC was going every year on Black Friday to see a show and look at the window displays!

[@quil10it]

I love NEW YORK RESTAURANTS!! Of course I would also love Knitty City. Thank you for bringing it us Natalie.

[@suzl1]

My best trip to New York was when I traveled by train from North Carolina to New York in December. I loved seeing New York in December. The decorations were beautiful. I’ll never forget this trip.

[@paulastoner499]

My only memory of going to NY City was when I was a very young child. My aunt owned a restaurant there. Above the restaurant was rooms she rented out and that's where we slept. I remember there was a big neon sign just outside our window that lit up the room at night with pretty colors and I loved that. We felt like we had the run of the place. We were allowed to go into the kitchen anytime we wanted to use the milk machine. It was ice cold and probably the best milk we ever drank. Being outside kids, as all kids were back in the day, we liked to play on the sidewalk outside. We were in awe of all the people, cars, and the noise... I remember going home with lots of red hot dogs. Mom loved them and we couldn't get them where we lived.

[@CraftingwithShuttermonkey]

I spent two wonderful weeks in NYC for my 40th birthday, and the best bit about it was visiting Knitty City. I saved that for the morning of my birthday 🎉

[@TheCraftedPearl]

Such a generous prize donation! It's been over 20 years since I've been to NYC, but my favorite thing about the city was seeing shows on Broadway! I would love to come back for a visit and see Knitty City in person!

[@candaceromy3049]

Back in 1981 I was a nanny in Connecticut, and remember, my friends and I
riding the train into NYC. I loved it and hope someday I'll be able to go back.

[@colleenrodriguez-lucas9161]

Between school trips and visiting family, I have had many great visits to New York City. One of my best visits was when we were in town for our cousin's high school graduation. It was a longer visit, and our children were not born yet, so we had the freedom to explore some nightlife without worrying about child care. We got to see one of our favorite Irish bands at the pub that they play at when not on the road, explore new restaurants, see some museums, and spend quality time with family.

[@Louard26]

My best (and only!) trip to NYC was last year with my two daughters. One of my favorite memories is the three of us sitting in Central Park, knitting and people watching ❤

[@apicklewalkslothknits5004]

My cousin used to live in The City. I visited for my 21st birthday and had such a great time. Her friends were so sweet and I can still remember how great the pizza and bagels were all of these years later.

[@crystilmurch5659]

I grew up outside of NYC (about an hour out) and was so blessed to be able to visit Broadway, the NY Philharmonic, the opera, the ballet and the museums as a kid. I have been living away from all of that culture for over 20 years and have kids of my own now. I want to come back to be able to give them the gift of a genuinely first rate cultural experience. And being able to visit all of the small businesses (yarn stores, cafe and restaurants and random, incredibly unique places that couldn't survive elsewhere) is a lovely part of that cultural draw, along with the bigger and bolder experiences.

[@neferetri]

My best time in NYC was when I was able to come to Vogue Knitting Live in February 2023. I had the best time meeting up with other knitters, getting to see some of the amazing yarns from NYC dyers that are featured at Knitty City, and I ate some amazing food. I'm still thinking about the fish and chips from Gordon Ramsey's and the Meatballs from The Meatball Shop in Hell's Kitchen. Oh and I got to see "The Play That Goes Wrong" at the New World Stages theater and it was amazing. I laughed so much it hurt afterwards. So many fun memories from that weekend!

[@karibrinkman-sull7239]

What a fun video and great lys! My favorite trip to NYC was with my dad when I turned 16. My first flight, we saw shows, ate great food and did tons of sightseeing. A favorite memory of My life.

[@angelaobernesser9167]

One of my favorite NYC experiences was when my boyfriend took me to see Book of Mormon! It was a total surprise right up until we walked up to the theater and we had a fantastic day. We took the train from Poughkeepsie, did a little shopping, had an amazing dinner, and then got to see my favorite musical 🎉

[@LimeadeGal]

I lived in the Big Apple for a year when I was in elementary school. My best memories were going to the yarn store with my mother and getting to pick out the yarn for my mother to make me a sweater or cardigan, taking a ride in a horse & carriage through Central Park, the Museum of Natural History & the Art Museum were my favorite places to go with my Dad, seeing the Macy's Day Parade, & the Pizza, Chinese Food & German Bakery were top of my list for food. I could keep going, there's so much more to say about NYC, lol 😊 I've been back a few times as an adult & love everything about the city.

[@annpapadopulo]

I have been so fortunate to have visited New York and Knitty City on a few occasions - love the city that never sleeps 🌺I

[@momohewey]

My family and I went to NYC for spring break 2023 and I got to visit Knitty City and @KnittyKnatty favorite bakery Levain! Such a lovely store with friendly staff and customers. I highly recommend!!!

[@MrsGrinnellma]

My godmother and I would go to NYC every November. We would stay at the Marriott Marquee, see a broadway show, and see the sights. Such wonderful memories.

[@ericaparini7862]

NY city has so much to do. I loved the ferris 🎡 when toys r us was around, and all the history, Ellis island, the statue of liberty, the empire state building. Hope y'all have fun on your new adventures!

[@bevsanchez-parodi1617]

I was in NY about 10 years ago and loved it. We did all the typical touristy things. If I ever go back, I will definitely be visiting Knitty City! Thanks for the tour.

[@meliabellaknits6835]

My favorite trip to NYC was when we brought our kiddos to Broadway. They loved it!

[@mayn4372]

This episode is wonderful. Knitty city is my go to local yarn store. The staffs are helpful and knowledgeable. It is welcoming and I always find some yarn to go home with. We gonna miss you and all the best for new adventure . ❤❤

[@masoksok]

I’ve been going to NYC since I was a child, so my best memories are Sunday afternoons in Chinatown, getting groceries to bring back home and sweet treats to eat on the car drive.

[@Sharon-ov6ft]

Thanks Knitty City for this wonderful Giveaway! Your shop is beautiful! If and when I visit New York again, I will surely stop in!
I was there in 2015, and had a Great time at the MET museum and enjoyed the Manhattan Cruise! Great Fun!🦋Thanks Natalie!

[@nancymorales2741]

My favorite time in NYC was back in 2015. My late brother lived there and my sisters, mom, a cousin and a dear friend and I all visited to celebrate his 40th birthday. My brother took me to Knitty City. I have the best memories of that trip especially since my brother is no longer with us. Thanks for sharing!

[@dirtfloorfibers4248]

I've never been to NYC, but my favorite part of visiting big cities is the walkability- I love people watching and ducking into small, locally owned restaurants and shops. And of course I'd love to visit all the museums!

[@sharongraber4715]

My favorite trip was a bus trip from our church during Christmas-my favorite time of year and seeing all the decorations. It was magical!

[@margaretsmith2778]

My niece lives in NYC and on my trip to visit her we went to Knitty City. What a fun time we had! I look forward to another trip to visit her!

[@cynthiaryan2901]

OMG! Many years ago, too many😊, I used to come into NYC by train from PA and shop at NY Yarn store (I think that was the name) on 6th Ave?, also at Coulture (spelling?) yarns near Bloomingdale’s, and School Products. I’m going back about 40 years ago. YES, I’m STILL knitting at age 74. Will be 75 on July 12. Still knitting & enjoying every soothing minute of it. Recently, I’ve knitted 24 pairs of socks for my husband. He has small feet, and store bought socks hand off his toes. He won’t part with the ones I’ve knitted for him. 😊. Makes my heart sing! This video made my day.

[@liasilva3750]

I have been to NY city a few times. The city is so alive. Had the best time.

[@robinbunis6792]

Love going to the Threatre District to see all the wonderful shows then having a scrumptious dinner at a local restaurant. Your visit to Knitty City was great, looking forward to your next shop tour!

[@carriemarman9482]

My best trip was to New York …10 years ago with my twin sister for our 40th birthday… loved the scenery, the Broadway plays… and all the new yorky things we saw and did.. it was one of my best memories. 🗽🇱🇷

[@danisbookshelf3167]

Oooo, I for sure have to stop by Knitty City!! I think one of my favorite things about NYC is how much there is to explore! It truly never gets old

[@juliehuycke5446]

I have always dreamed of going to a Broadway Musical in NYC. Phantom of the Opera is my favorite !The icing on the cake would be knitting during the show!

[@TheStaceyC]

The best moment in NY was my first time with my brother and getting off the subway under MSG. It was truly magical!

[@mrsjudys]

I've never been to NYC, but oh my.....what s beautiful and friendly knit store! I would just stay in the store all day....with s few breaks to get coffee and s cookie from the bakery! How generous of them to provide such a give-a-way.

[@daniellecrocker6877]

My only time in NYC was last month when I took my son to check out Seton Hall. We had 1 afternoon in NYC. We took the train in from NJ, stopped at Penn Station and Grand Central. We checked out the Chrysler and Flat Iron buildings. Then headed to Knitty City though got on the wrong subway initially. After Kitty City we got cookies at Levain's then wandered Central Park. We spent an hour watching a guy put people into giant bubbles. Then we went to FAO Schwartz, out to dinner at an Irish Pub, and finally to Book of Mormon. It was a great mom/son day and he was already picking out bulky yarn to get me to make him a blanket for when he moves to NJ from FL.😊

[@jamiebrown4566]

My favorite NYC trip was to see Cats with my sisters and my Dad !! We had an absolutely awesome time that I will aways cherish.

[@christyandersonhendrie4225]

What a great shop! My husband and I honeymooned in NYC. Saw a show, ate in great restaurants, and visited the museums.

[@kathyzapcic1549]

My favorite visit to NYC ( there have been many) was when my son and daughter-in-law visited. We took the ferry into downtown and started out by googling a coffee shop and we kept googling random things that took us all over the city- parks, shops, views... We ended the day at a fabulous restaurant and then took the ferry home. One of the best days EVER!!

[@marianna-gypsysoulfibers141]

I haven’t been to NYC in so long!! I was a teenager and loved the hustle and bustle and people watching!

[@Valeriecooper-NC]

My favorite NY City memory is from this past January. My husband surprise gifted me a weekend there to go to a show for Christmas. We had the BEST time! I did not make it to any yarn stores but for my next trip I will be visiting Knitty City for sure!

[@pambacci9497]

Our favorite part of our trip to New York was our visit to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We got to see the names of my husbands family that came through Ellis Island from Italy on the wall there. SO emotional. ❤

[@nikkigrossman4244]

My best trip was for my 16th birthday with my dad; he took me to see Newsies on broadway! We also went out to eat, saw Central Park, and chatted. It was such a special time with my dad!

[@staceyh2028]

My best time in NYC was in October of 2019. I won an award for work and they flew me in from Arizona and a guest (my best friend who was in TX) in for a long weekend staying in Times Square! I was actually able to visit Knitty City! It was the only yarn store I got to visit and it happened to be on NYC yarn crawl day. I was able to meet Pearl and it was such a great experience! I wish I had known about your favorite cookie/coffee shop, but we did also go to Central Park and to Grand Bazaar nearby. We also went to The Stonewall Inn, The Vessel, The High Line and did sooooo much walking. It was a GREAT visit!

[@barbhopkins6500]

My favorite time in NYC was a weekend I just wandered. I did tourist stuff (Ellis Island, the Met, the Alice in Wonderland statue) and in between visited yarn shops. Knitty City was so welcoming and quickly became my favorite when I needed something (I worked as a consultant for 3yrs on a project). I had the joy of meeting Pearl - she just was so kind and a warm person.

[@summerqm9287]

Food in NYC! I love going around to different neighborhoods and explore the local food there and it is so cool that NYC covers such a HUGE variety of food and culture.

[@emmipaez4898]

[@janec9038]

I have never been to NYC but have always wanted too. I would like to see all the yarn shops in NYC. It has always been a special place to go visit I think. I love all the people always out and about. All the shops which are all special. New York City is just “SPECIAL”!

[@kennycoblentz8897]

Ten years ago my mom took me when I was pregnant with my daughter at Christmas time. It was magical! What a wonderful giveaway! Andrea

[@ravensrockknits]

My husband and I have been lucky enough to visit NYC on a number of occasions and love going to Knitty City. Pearl always remembered us from year to year and invited us to join the group in Bryant Park which was great fun. We have not been back since Covid but hopefully we will visit again soon 😊

[@kefknits]

I have lived all my life in NYC but one of my favorite knitting moments was spending the morning knitting with you in Central Park 🥰

[@hmbutler13]

On 9/11 my father was the first federal agent on scene at the plane that crashed in Shanksville, PA only about 20 minutes from our house. In 2002 on our way back from vacation he decided we should go to NYC to visit ground zero. It was still mainly just rubble, but still very touching to see. He was able to talk with the FDNY firefighters across the street and have a moment with others who understood the full heaviness of that awful day. We rode the ferry that goes around the Statue of Liberty, participating in a moment of silence going by ground zero. And we’re able to do lots of other fun NYC things…bagels, Empire State Building, subway, Grand Central Station, etc. ❤️ I need to go back as an adult with my children now.

[@callenaten1500]

My favorite NYC moment was on my first trip with my grandparents. I was 8 years old and dreamed of performing on Broadway, so I LOVED getting to see my first Broadway musical (the Lion King).

[@kerryomeara9729]

I can't wait to visit New York one day and visit Broadway, see a play, and of course visit Knitty City. What a lovely looking store, and friendly staff.

[@jessicalila3712]

My sister lived in Manhattan when she was first married so I made many trips to see her. Probably my favorite event was seeing the Broadway show of one of my favorite musicals, The Sound of Music!
