*made some edits to the schedule after much help*

I’m going on a solo trip to New York! I’m a black 28 year old woman from the West Coast. This is my rough itinerary. Not sure if hitting all these places in one day is realistic? Or if I should re-order some of them.

I would like to fit in shopping on 5th Ave & going to The Top of the Rock. Also any nighttime suggestions like lounges with rnb music in Manhattan?

I’m not renting a car because I’ve been told it’s pointless. I’ll plan on walking or taking the subway most places and I’m thinking of staying in a hotel in Midtown.
