The reflecting pool at the Met expresses pure tranquility to me and every time I visit the museum, I have to spend some time there. While my mom was visiting New York we made sure to go to the museum right after it opened.
Sophie and I had brunch at the former very famous Boom Boom Room, now Top of The Standard Hotel.
The views are breathtaking any time of day ...
For many years I had a grudge against New York.
Mainly because we had to visit with the kids being small and I thoroughly believe it is a city for grown ups. Since last fall I fell in love with her again and find her amazing, always changing, never resting, challenging and demanding. All attributes I am open to and so here is my view of New York in B&W, which I love, by the way...
The High Line is an elevated freight rail line transformed into a public park on Manhattan’s West Side. It runs from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District - last photo on the post - to West 34th Street, between 10th and 12th Avenues and is 2,5 km long.
Unfamiliar with the area I thought I would just go to Le Bernardin and ask about the Wine Bar but as soon as I sat down the friendly waiter pointed right behind me throughout the window and told me that the newly opened Wine Bar is located just opposite in the the next building.
Last weekend I finally made it out to Smorgasburg in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Needless to say, despite the scorching heat and complete absence of shade I definitely wasn't disappointed by the many food options
Ralph's Coffee inside the new Polo Ralph Lauren Store is the perfect safe haven from the mayhem of Midtown Manhattan.
The Smile is the perfect place to hide away from the world and eat abnormal amounts of good food while no one is watching.
With this week's cold and rainy weather, the first leaves starting to fall from the trees and my ever present cold, all I want is tea and scones while watching people from inside a cozy restaurant.
One can never have too much avocado toast, and in New York there are plenty of options out there right now.
