Welcome to the Big Apple – the city that never sleeps and quite possibly one of the greatest cities on earth, do you agree? We thought so. We love New York and we also love lists. Put them together and you get these 20 things you should do in New York. You’re welcome.

Shop till you drop on 5th Avenue and get lost in department store heaven – Bloomingdales, Barneys, and the mother of them all – Macy’s.
