Having been to New York on a few occasions now, we have a pretty solid routine, but we do enjoy adding one or two new experiences on each trip. We were up early enough on the Saturday to get to the Westfield World Trade Center as it opened – mostly because we wanted to get … More New York in December – Everything Else
Staying in Chelsea meant we had some of the best eateries on our doorstop, and on at least one of the nights, we spent a good half an hour weighing up options. For our first night, we walked over to the next block to the Meatpacking District location of Dos Caminos for some amazing Mexican … More New York in December – where we ate
I wouldn’t normally review a Starbucks – I will happily admit that I visit Starbucks a lot (they have the best mochas) but they’re all essentially the same and mostly indistinct. However, a Roastery opened up in New York a few weeks before we visited which is very different to the average store so I … More Starbucks Reserve Roastery – New York
I love spending time in Greenwich Village and Chelsea, so as we were only going to be in NYC for three days, we treated ourselves to a hotel in the area rather than staying in our usual hotel in Midtown. I can’t remember where I saw it first, but I have fantasised about staying in … More New York in December – where we stayed
Back in November, I noticed that the prices in the Virgin Atlantic Black Friday sale were good. Crazy good. So good that I found myself unable to say no, so booked a little trip to New York for the bit between Christmas and New Year. We initially wanted to go from the 27th to 30th December, … More Flying on New Year’s Eve
I started July in New York which was as wonderful as ever, continued with two average weeks, and finished with a week alone as Husband is away at a work trip. He’s off in South Africa seeing giraffes and elephants, whilst I’m sat feeling sorry for myself on the sofa. Hot, sweaty NYC New York … More July Things
We did a lot of walking during our 5 days in New York. A lot. But that is part of the reason why I enjoy the city so much. Once you get away from the insanity in Midtown, it becomes an entirely different trip. There was a bit of shopping – Husband had a spree … More New York in July – the everything else
We hadn’t aimed to eat at (mostly) entirely new places on this trip, it just happened by chance. We’d hoped to have at least one fancy meal but the timings didn’t work out, and it was too hot to eat a lot of food but I would 100% go back to every place we visited. … More New York in July – where we ate
Having established that New York in July is hot hot hot, you’d be forgiven for thinking that being a very pale cold weather addict, I wouldn’t want to do very much. In reality, we actually managed to pack loads into our short stay, and were out every night which is most unusual for our trips. … More New York in July – what we did
When I was in New York a couple of months ago, I scored tickets to the live taping of Samantha Bee and it was awesome. I would have loved to have seen John Oliver as well, but I was only there from Wednesday to Saturday and he films on Sunday so it was not meant … More Last Week Tonight with John Oliver – live taping!
