I’m a massive movie and TV geek, and so is my fiancé (it still feels funny to say that!) so I wanted to make a list of all the movie and TV food locations for next time we visit NYC. So this blog post is part for my future reference – and part for your enjoyment!…
NYC Shopping Map: Where to Find What
Without a doubt, hands-down, New York City has to be one of the best shopping destinations in the world. It’s hard to go there and not want to splurge and spend. You’ll find big designer brands, huge department stores, independent stores and thrift shops with hidden gems waiting to be discovered – it’s all there…
Autumn, I love you.
I love Autumn. I like all the other seasons too – but Autumn always wins it for me. I love the chilly breeze but the clear skies, I love the anticipations towards Christmas. I love the incredible colours – those burnt oranges and reds and the crunchy leaves on the pavements. I love all the…
The Ultimate Guide to DUMBO Brooklyn
The trendy DUMBO neighbourhood is one of the coolest places to visit in New York, and somewhere that is often overlooked by tourists, who may feel a bit overwhelmed or pushed for time to leave Manhattan.

I visited for the first time when I was 18, and have kept visiting every couple of years since then. It’s basically like a love-affair. My other love (cheesy, but let’s…
Thrift shopping in NYC: Where to find the best hidden gems

An email I sent to a friend about NYC.
A lovely friend of mine Harriet is heading to NYC this week, and she dropped me an email asking me what I recommended doing and seeing in the city. I love being asked for recommendations so I put together a way-too-lengthy reply and emailed her back. I figured I’d copy and paste the email into…
