The one when the parents came to stay




The sky view at Wall Street


Classic American shopping at American Icon, Soho



Family time

Pancakes!


Hey :-)
My parents came to NYC on their jollies, so I got to spend some quality time with them before I move to DC!
We mainly ate and drank, a lot! But I'm not complaining :-) We did a spot of shopping down the lower east side of Manhattan and Soho, which has the coolest stores, 
I also experienced a real brunch at Sarabeths, opposite Central Park, it was amazing and I didn't realise that you're supposed to have alcohol with your food, which makes it even better.....oh hello prosecco! 
Oh and of course, blueberry pancakes!! Yuuuuum!

I'm off to Washington DC now, let's see what the countries capital city has to offer....
Bye x

Jeff Koons 'Split-Rocker'

Empire State Building

The 'Big' piano (and some weirdos I have to work with)

The super moon in Time Square

The Chrysler behind Grand Central 


Washington square park and more bad selfies! 


Hey :)
So I've spent the past few days walking around Manhattan, my feet are killing me! I went up 5th avenue to the radio city music hall and wandered around the Rockafella, to see the Jeff Koons sculpture of the 'Split-Rocker' which was very cool!
I also went to the famous FAO Schwarz toy store to see the piano from the movie BIG, life long ambition and one of my favorite movies!
There was a super moon the other night, which actually lit up Time Square, if that's even possible, shame about the H&M sign getting in the way, haha! I got to see what I think is one of the prettiest buildings in New York, the Chrysler!
Oh and I took some selfies in Washington square park, I'm getting better at them.....don't you think?!
