NYC Day 3

So today I went to the Abercrombie & Fitch on 5th Avenue, and man it is huge. Not only was every line at least 15 people long but I got lost about 5 times. I bought way more than I should've and blew most of my budget, which is slightly embarrassing.

Soho Deli Tour

After shopping we hopped in a cab and went on a Deli tour around the Soho area, where we were shown lots of cool restaurants and cafés. However as the weather was rainy and cold I left early for drinks at the hotel, I'm weak.

I didn't have a great start to the tour, I arrived late, ran off busting for the toilet and then dropped my pizza all over the shop and a man, not just a man, a big scary New Yorker who I did not dare to tell. Oops :/

Wicked

In the evening after stuffing our faces on the tour, we went to see the show Wicked on Broadway. It's the first show I've seen in America, unless the shows at Disney World count? Anyway Americans social etiquette at the theatre is very different to us Brits. They all woop and cheer when a character comes on stage and the atmosphere was electric. The performance was incredible and I definitely want to see more musicals when I return to the States.

Thanks for reading guys, until next time...

NYC Day 2

So today was pretty chilled. Although it started off pretty hectic as we tried to figure out the subway system. The tube is much easier!
Some of our group went up the Empire State Building however because I had been up before and it was a really nice day I went for a nice stroll around the shops and of course made a little pitstop in Victoria Secrets.

How many people does it take to buy a ticket?

I have to say I much prefer shopping in America then England as the service is so much better and the assistants are so helpful it's brilliant.

For lunch we went to this cute little restaurant in a hotel between 5th and 6th Avenue. We only wanted a light snack however the oversized portions here blew that idea out the window. Old tunes were playing and the atmosphere was chilled.

Sex and the City Tour

To all the Sex and the City fans out there, get you Dolce&Gabbana on and listen up. The sex and the city tour is a great girls day out and seeing all things Carrie Bradshaw. Not only do you see loads of the locations where filming took place you also find out more about the show and cast in general. 
For instance, did you know Sarah Jessica Parker would have a snack in between each take, someone please tell me how she's a size 0?

Aidan and Steve's bar

Complimentary cosmopolitans 

 The tour begins at Central Park and ends in Soho, the 3 hour tour is mostly on a coach with a few pitstops that include complimentary cupcakes, drinks and a weapon of the spanking variety. ;)

The tour is a great way of course to spend a day all about Sex and the City but also to see New York.
I would really recommend it to anyone that is remotely interested as you really learn a lot and enjoy yourself.

NYC Day 1

So I'm here in New York on a girly holiday, and after only one day, it's already been great, except for that nasty passport control that goes on for hours. Not only have I already been shopping and bought  a shed load of stuff, I have also been to one of my favourite restaurants out here.

Woodbury Common

Now I'm not much of a sales shopper, so Woodbury Common, one of the biggest outlets, sounded very scary for me, however I plucked up the courage and spent a total of 7 hours there. This was obviously an unnecessary amount of time, but going on a bus you must follow there rules. :(
I wasn't one of the many people who had brought suitcases with them to fill whilst they were there but I did manage a couple of bags from some big names.

 Of course as in London, there is a Starbucks at very turn

After only buying a few things, as I want to save my money for Broadway and more importantly 5th Avenue, we returned home and went out to dinner.

The Tribeca Grill

Owned by Robert De Niro, one of the most atmospheric restaurants I have ever been to. The service is impeccable, the food is great and it is not ridiculously expensive.

 My overall experience was great. The food is simple and well-presented, which is good for my unsophisticated palette. I was slightly disappointed as the last time I visited there was a different menu (they change the menu each season) so I could not get what I had last time. However I feel it makes you try new things, which is good for me.

Thanks for reading guys, if any of you are from New York please give me some good restaurant names before I leave on Wednesday.

Much love x
