Once you’re done with brunch, get your shopping fix in SoHo! Afterwards, take some pics with all your shopping bags on one of the many cobblestone streets.

Don’t be afraid to splurge in SoHo, the famous high-end shopping district in New York City. The cobblestone roads capture the classic 70’s aesthetic.

Oculus

Head west toward One World Trade and you’ll find the Oculus. You really can’t miss it, it looks like the spine of a prehistoric creature smack dab in lower Manhattan.
