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. DUMBO Brooklyn is an acronym for ‘Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass’ – and now you can see why…
My favourite photos of NYC
I’ve been missing NYC a lot recently – so here’s a few of my favourite photos I’ve taken whilst I’ve been there.
The Empire State Building At Sunset
There’s a reason so many love stories are set in NYC. It’s because the city literally reeks of romance – and I mean this in the best way possible. NYC is one of my favourite places on Earth – and it’s because everything about it feels magic. Like every step you’re about to take might…
Central Park in the Snow
There is nowhere more magical than Central Park in the snow. Not just a little dusting of it, I’m talking about when the snow is inches thick, and the park suddenly goes quiet, with only a few people scattered around the white fields and pathways. When Central Park is like this, the city and whole…
A January Walk over Brooklyn Bridge
On my list of ‘happy places’ you’ll find Brooklyn Bridge. That big old slab of concrete in NYC is, in my opinion, one of the most gorgeous bridges around the world – with some of the most stunning views pretty much anywhere. These were taken on a brisk January evening, just before the sun sets…
How to Walk Across The Brooklyn Bridge… Maps, Route Suggestions and Photos!
When I first visited NYC, one of things I want to do the most was walk across Brooklyn Bridge. And then the second time I visited, I wanted to do it again. It’s the same story for the 3rd and 4th times too. It quite simply, is one of the best and most beautiful things…
Best restaurants in Manhattan – My ULTIMATE list
One of things I get asked most over email by readers and friends, is… “What are the best restaurants in Manhattan?” And it’s a good question. Manhattan is a huge place – and if you don’t go there with at least a few ideas, you fall into the trap of only eating at tourist places…
The time we got engaged in NYC.
I am (admittedly) a NYC obsessive. I grew up surrounding myself with everything NYC related, I was absolutely obsessed with the city – and still am. 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…
My photos of the (very beautiful) Central Park in Autumn
NYC is my long lost true love. I think of the city as a person, and them and I are forever torn apart by this evil villain called ‘greencard’. But just because I can’t live there, doesn’t mean I won’t endeavour to visit there as often as I possibly can. Pad and I are regulars…
