I’ve been a little slack on the updating over the last few days as my adventures have been slightly limited by rain and apartment hunting. Happily, it’s now stopped raining and we move into our new place mid this week. We’ll be heading further midtown, so expect lots of wandering around Central Park and museum […]

It’s been ridiculously hot and humid in NYC since we arrived, but today things got just a little bit more comfortable, leaving a gorgeous summers day. So I decided to spend a large part of my day inside, checking out The Museum of Sex. I’m daffy like that. I took quite a lot of pictures […]

On our way back from dinner tonight we spotted an enormous sweet shop a couple of blocks from our apartment (the photo only shows one corner, there is also a huge chocolate section along with ice cream and loads of other sweet goodies). It was open. At 10pm on a Sunday night. This is a […]
