NEW YORK

Hello from Manhattan! We finally made it! It's my first time in NYC and Oli has not been back since he was 14 so you can imagine how excited we were once we left DC on the famous BoltBus to NY. Our kind hosts Charity & Patrick and Sam were extremely hospitable and for this we say a huge thansyou for accommodating us at their homes.

Everything about NY is fun, hip and happening...from the street fusion, fashion, bistros, cupcakes, theaters, art houses...there is something for everyone here in NY...it caters to all taste buds! Literally! The street art and graffiti, the yellow cabs,city life and the community of artists and fashionistas for us makes New York unforgettable!

We watched The West Side Story on Broadway, which was amazing...I sat in awe of the talented cast! We walked the streets of Manhattan flat, from 5th Avenue, West Village, SoHo, TriBeCa, lower east side to Broadway...the designer boutiques and concept stores present many a challenge to back papers if you know what I mean! :) we did find a little room for shopping though...we got my wedding dress and some of our bridesmaids attair here in Manhattan...

Central Park is a massive area that is pretty much as depicted in the movies...a real chill out place where people meet and greet, oh, and jog :)

Last night we passed the Blue Note Jazz Bar and Vanguard Village...the streets are packed, NY's night life beats most other countries we have experienced...we managed to attend a friends party in a penthouse suite...definatley memorable times...

                                                 

achh, and by the way...we weren't affected by the latest terrorist attack at Times Square here in NYC, as you may gather from the news papers...

The constant buzz and cultural diversity makes NY an exciting destination...as the song goes...I love NY, this place will make you feel brand new and it will inspire you! It definitely has had that effect on us!

We off to Toronto on Wednesday...but before that we will check Brooklyn and the Statue of Liberty! Watch this space!

Love
