Blogging and Eating in Manhattan

I recently attended my first official blogging conference in NYC called BlogHer15 – so watch out for some great content coming your way! While I was in the city, I also learned about so many cool restaurants. My brain is pulsating with tons of new information, so here’s just a tidbit of what I discovered at the conference followed by 5 wonderful NYC walking tours.

The BlogHer15 is the world's largest conference for women content creators and I sure learned a lot! For instance…

• Bloggers are called content creators.
• Branding is about being authentic. Your blog should scream YOU and touch your readers.
• Sometimes “useless knowledge” can be useful blogging.
• Have a 60 second pitch ready to go. Explain the problem and then explain the solution.
• Be persistent and keep attaining knowledge for your business and your blog.
• Publish early and publish often.
• Vlog (video blogging) is big right now. Be succinct and creative for your viewers.

Not only did I learn about how to be a better blogger and vlogger, I learned how to be a power walker and power eating machine in NYC. Woohoo! Here are my 5 recommended walking and eating tours:

1)
