Solo travel is trending right now, and it's easy to see why. It can be difficult to align budgets, schedules, and even travel interests with the people in your life. You could miss out on so much by waiting for others to get on board. So, why not go alone? It may be a bit intimidating at first, but you'll learn so much about yourself and the world along the way.
Once you've decided to take a solo trip, you've gotta decide where to go. Some destinations were literally made for solo travel, and New York City is definitely one of them.
Movie fanatics will love checking out New York's rooftop cinema club in the summer. This isn't your typical movie theatre setup, either.

You'll be given wireless headphones as you sit in a comfy chair under the stars. This is a movie experience you'll never forget.
You'll get the full New York City experience at The Blue Box Cafe, which is located at Tiffany's New York flagship store.
