As one of the biggest cities in the world, there is no shortage of things to do in New York. It can even be overwhelming for people coming in from out of town. Often, traveling to a loved one’s wedding can be an excuse to take a longer vacation and explore a new city, but many times all you really have is the weekend of the celebration. When it comes to shorter visits to New York, sticking to the borough that host the nuptials can help to narrow down the options of what to visit.
