As digital nomads and full time house sitters we have the opportunity to visit cities all around the world.
When we visit a city we want to see as much of it as possible and we’ve learned the best way to do that is to explore it by foot. Walking gives us a chance to see things we’d miss in a car or a bus because we can slow down and look all around us. We’ve discovered so many unique treasures this way! Among them, are street art and murals. We’ve shared a few of our favorites in Athens, Greece and San Francisco, California, and now we want to share some absolutely beautiful art we saw in Jersey City, New Jersey and New York City, New York.
As you can imagine, while in New York City, we found many unique, obscure, and inexpensive things to do as well. So, be sure to take a look at our City Guide to New York City | Must See Attractions, Unique & On a Budget.
