Are you ready to feel old? It’s been 30 years since Home Alone 2: Lost In New York was first released!
We all know that Home Alone 2 is iconic! It featured loads of landmarks throughout New York City that have obviously changed in the last 30 years — and I just so happened to have been invited to tour all of the major ones recently (in a limo fit for a Kevin)!
So let’s go through the differences between nine of New York City’s most-known and loved landmarks 30 years ago and now:

It was amazing to tour NYC and not only learn about how these landmarks have been maintained over the decades but also just to see how beautiful they are! I’d definitely recommend getting “lost in New York” to anyone who has the chance! (Except please don’t actually get lost! We have better technology than Kevin did 30 years ago!!)
