I'm thinking of treating myself to a 3 night solo trip to NYC (my first time visiting!) in October... I'm overwhelmed by the size and all the experiences that are possible - what neighborhood should I stay in and any fun recommendation for a solo mom traveler would be so welcomed! My goal is to wander everywhere, eat good food, visit galleries and hopefully check out a show. Thank you!

Would love to hear favourite summer beach sandals (not thongs/flip flops) that can get wet but is pretty :)
