Bryant Park New York City

Even though this was only the second time Youssef had come to visit me in New York, it felt like he was home. He knew all the good spots and could manage the subway sans fautes. In fact he went beyond being a New Yorker and turned hipster on me (even though it took him 2 years to learn what the word means). We were all about the BK this trip. …

Coming to you from New York, New York!

A sleep in this morning, set us back with regards to how much time we had to sight see but helped us get over the last of our jet lag.

We didn't want to do too much today as Danielle our friend from Ireland isn't due in NY until tomorrow and most sights we want to see, she will want to see …

Katrina and I were definitely born to be ladies of leisure.

Our first day (after an A-MAZING dinner of meatballs on our first night) was fabulous! The sun was shining, lovely blue skies and horrendous bitterly freezing winds. Even my eyeballs froze. However, we wandered up fifth avenue taking shelter in Urban Outfitters, Guess and all …

This morning I did something I hadn't done since being in New York... I set my alarm... but I woke up 1 minute before it went off so it doesn't count, right? By 9am I'm at the light rail station to take a different route to the city - downtown. Today I'm visiting the World Trade Centre Memorial, I've booked my pass for 11am. Things have changed …

Fue un día donde las artes nos llenaron de vida, empezamos con música y diferentes actividades en el Bryant Park, Entramos en la New York Public Library, una biblioteca fantástica y donde nos sorprendieron algunas actividades hechas por niños. Paseamos por el Lincoln Center donde está la Metropolitan Opera house. Y acabamos en el Gugguenheim Museo …

Today is Thanksgiving Day in America. Whilst I am not sure that most Americans really know why they started celebrating it, they almost universally understand how to celebrate it. And despite the easy cynical observation to be that they celebrate by shopping and eating - nearly everyone I've spoken to in the last couple of days is looking forward …

Today was a very cool day. In every sense of the word. It was 'cool' in the fashionable and hip sense of the word, because we got to wander around Central Park in Autumn (aka 'the fall') and it just looks amazing. I can't describe it. Made all the more amazing that it is in the middle of this massive city.

And cool because, well .. it's …

As a treat from my mom, her, my step-dad, sister, her boyfriend, my friend and myself got to take a bus to NYC for the day. I've been there before but never actually got to walk around do to a torrential downpour. Santa Con was going on and that was something to experience. We went to Toys R Us, Forever 21, the Disney Store, McDonalds, M&M …

We got to our hotel, the Grand Hyatt, on 42nd Street, wedged between Grand Central and the Chrysler Building. The room is a typical, but nice hotel room and let's just describe the bathroom as compact. Apparently we have a 'room with a view', but because all the buildings are so tall the view is the other buildings across the street. After we've …

Ich denke dieser Eintrag benötigt keine Worte, außer: AMAZING!

Wow I actually wore a pair or shoes clean through on Thursday.  New York really is a walking city. Picked the boys and Jasper up from Grand Central in the morning and set off on a jam packed day. Depending on your age and inclinations we managed to ...
