Some of us whom have lived in New York all of our lives never really take the time to fully appreciate it. I don’t look up to take in all of that glorious architecture. I hardly ever go to Broadway shows. Off Bway, maybe once a year. We’ve taken vacations at home before, but it always turns out to be a week of working on the house.

So what if….you’re a New Yorker who wants to experience NYC like a tourist? Get out of your own home, for one! Here’s a list of charming B&B’s. Stay yourself or keep them in mind for those annoying out of town guests when they land on your doorstep.
