Rocket Around the World
Stop #2: New York
One city.
Five boroughs.
Infinite rabbit holes.

What should Rocket discover?
→ Best pizza that isn't a tourist trap
→ Most underrated neighborhood
→ Best skyline view
→ Best place to work remotely
→ Where New Yorkers actually eat after midnight
→ Something only a local would know
