Having visited the Museum of Modern Art for a little while last week, I promised that I would return to explore the rest of the gallery and return I did! My first stop was in the design section which was inspiring, containing a ton of amazing solutions to problems in our imperfect world. There was […]

At the weekend we went to meet some friends at Cafe Cortadito in the Lower East Side. It’s a Cuban restaurant and offers a little more variety than my usual fair… Which is probably a blessing to those of you starting to tire of photos of eggs n’ bacon. Here you can see Lobster Benedict, […]

Much like my beloved Hayward Gallery in London does on occasion, the Metropolitan Museum of Art hosts a rooftop installation every summer. This year Tomás Saraceno has created a series of interconnected, mirrored modules called Cloud City. The mirrors on the outside of the structure reflect amazing views of NYC, as well as the sky, […]

One of my friends here works for a magazine and invited me to join her as her +1 at an event at the swanky W hotel. Being a sucker for free food and booze (and for the company of my pal) of course I accepted the kind invitation. Upon arrival I had no idea what […]

Apologies that I've been posting less recently. I've been a little more domesticated in the last couple of weeks, lots of cooking, gymming and hanging in our lovely local area. I really love it here in Midtown, it's constantly buzzy and lively and we're so close to everything. We're heading to our new place in […]

Our time in Midtown will come to an end in a couple of weeks, so I've been on a hunt this week for somewhere new to live. My search unearthed a very cheap cute little place in Brooklyn, so Mr and I headed over yesterday to check it out. While we were sat on the […]

When my mum was 20, she hitchhiked across the USA with an American girl… Sadly they lost touch afterwards and didn’t speak again for years. Fortunately the power of the Internet got them back in touch again a little while ago and they now visit each other fairly regularly. The friend lives in The Bronx […]

Central Park stretches 51 street blocks and 3 avenue blocks across NYC, making it a little much to explore on foot, so Mr and I hired a couple of bikes and set out to see what we could see. It actually transpired to be a less than ideal way to see everything on offer as […]

On Friday night me and Mr headed down to Toad Hall on Grand Street in Soho. In a City populated by places calling themselves Irish/British bars, which betray their Americanness with hostesses and table service, this is a proper pub. Mr and I had both been in separately to one another, and both of us […]

The gym I am a member of in NYC has a yacht, so it would have been rude not to make use of it during our time here. T-Pain sadly wasn’t available, so I was joined by Mr me and a friend. The boat set sail from 23rd Street and took us on a 3 […]
