A Fictional Tour of New York City

I was recently inspired by my friend Rebecca who told me about Gayle Forman, the author of If I Stay and Where She Went, and how she went on a tour of New York City stopping at all the locations that were actually mentioned in her book. Gayle even made a video of the stops along the way.
This struck an idea for myself. 

I love books. If you haven't gathered that yet then I don't know what to do with you.

I have read so many books I honestly lose track of how many I read. I know it is close to 200 in the past 2 years. That is for sure. So I thought why not call upon my fellow book worms to help me set up an EPIC New York City tour where I stop at ALL the "real-life" places that have been mentioned in books read! 
I plan on taking the same tour that Gayle Forman took in her video to visit all the places that her characters, Adam and Mia, went to in Where She Went.

However, this isn't going to be easy. Some places are very obvious and can be tracked down fairly easy. Other places were just mentioned but there isn't an exact address. 

This is where YOU come in.
If you have read a book (preferably YA) where the characters were in New York City (for however long of time) and you would like me to visit the spot. Then please let me know by filling out the form below. I will collect the top 10 places and make a day of it!

This is going to be awesome!
