NYC

Here a just a few more pictures of New York and a video from Will Darbyshire in which he shows New York in the most beautiful way!

I could forever talk about NYC, and I actually do mention it probably at some point every day.... annoying I know but if you've been or have a place as special to your heart (cringe but true) then you will understand. 

Someone take me to NY?!

Afternoon Tea / The Ritz Carlton Hotel New York

Whilst we were in New York, I surprised Bella with a 21st birthday afternoon tea at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel (you have to book beforehand, I emailed a few weeks earlier, it was very easy and they were extremely helpful). We were greeted by complimentary cookies and taken to the Star Lounge in which they host the afternoon tea. We were taken to our table, chose our drinks (Old Blue Eyes for me, Mad Hatter's Tea Party for Bella. I'm not a tea drinker but it was good as far as fruit tea's go) and waited in anticipation for the food. 

The sandwich selection came first; egg salad, chicken tarragon salad (my favourite), cucumber and dill, lobster (Bella was not a fan of this and had to quickly run to the restrooms. Stay away from the fish Bella....I loved it though so if you are a fan of seafood, go for it and enjoy.)

Next to come was my favourite part.... the scones. However, I did not take a picture because I was too busy appreciating how yummy they were. They were moist, full of raisin's and the edges were brushed with caramelised sugar. One word: amazing. I'm still dreaming of them now. 

Finally, they produced a selection of cakes. These were okay, nothing special though, the scones were the real winner here.

I would definitely go back, it's so lovely for a special occasion or for a cheeky treat. When in New York...

New York Photo Diary: Part 1

When my friend asked me to meet her in NYC, I didn't take too much convincing. New York was a place I had always wanted to visit and I simply couldn't pass the opportunity up. Our other friend seemingly couldn't resist either as he decided to join as well (yay). Two of my favourite faces and New York? Quite possibly one of the best combinations I can think of. I was there for my 21^st birthday, which made me feel very lucky. I fell completely in love, like nowhere else and can't wait to go back.  

Some highlights of New York for me were:

Top of the Rock (The best views)

Chipotle (Chipotle is my life)

Dunkin Donuts

Biking around Central Park

Afternoon Tea at The Ritz

Shake Shack 

Chelsea Market

Highline

Le Bain (A club in the Meatpacking District with a pool and rooftop bar. This is a fab spot if you want to experience a taste of New York nightlife and see great views!)

Meeting some super cool Australian's

Coney Island

It was the most amazing two weeks ever and I wish I could go back and relive it.
