A short while ago, although admittedly it feels a lifetime ago, I very luckily got the chance to visit the Big Apple with my family. In a whirlwind of a week filled with Christmas lights and bustle, we switched on tourist mode, crammed in all the art galleries possible and absorbed all we could of this fabulous city.
Having been a blogging recluse in the past few months, there’s no better way to bounce back into writing than with a post all about the city ‘where dreams are made of’. And being a once in a lifetime trip, we made sure to capture our memories of wandering around this concrete jungle.
So, here’s the trip to NYC in photos. I hope you enjoy scrolling through the holiday pics and seeing these snapshots of time.
Coat: Jakke, Bag: Mulberry, Hat: Oliver Bonas When you’re coat matches the background in NYC, it’s impossible to not take a pic!
A trip to the Color Factory NYC is a must. With multiple interactive art installations, all focusing on the uses of color, be prepared to be immersed into a colourful world – ballpit first!
Snowy Walks around Central Park on quite possible one of the chilliest days yet! Walking around the park, you can clearly see why it’s a romantic spot for many couples. I, for one, have definitely fallen in love with this park.
Walks along the Hudson – the perfect way to blow off any dust, and get away from the hustle of Times Square.
The infamous Times Square! As busy as you could have imagined but a place like no other. From the intimidating bright lights, to the random Santa Con 2019, there’s always something happening here.
Probably my favourite thing to do in NYC. Strolling along the High Line and seeing the city from a different angle. Make sure to hop off at Chelsea Market for some delicious, independent food.
From the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Guggenheim, we wisely spent lots of time soaking up some culture. Definitely check out the Met for an outstanding museum trip – but be warned, it’s easy to get lost!
Top tip: go up the Rockerfeller building in the daytime, and the Empire State building at night (or vice versa) to see alternative views of the city Finally, my trip would have not been complete without a visit to the Friends Apartment. A very surreal moment.
