Just off the High Line in Chelsea, at 18th Street and 10th Avenue, you’ll come across a thought-provoking art piece by Glenn Ligon titled Untitled (America/Me). It’s the kind of work that invites interpretation. Ligon’s piece cleverly critiques the “me first” mentality that seems to dominate modern life, particularly in America. It reflects on how…

Little island
Tucked along the Hudson River, Little Island is one of those NYC spots that look absolutely stunning from afar, especially when its unique design glows in the evening sun. It’s a little urban oasis supported by pot shaped structures in form of tulips with their individual sections referred to as petals. It can get very…

Coffee
Is there anything better than that first sip of hot coffee in the morning? For me, it’s the flavor I savor most, but today, I find myself craving its energy more than usual. With autumn settling in, the crisp air and darker mornings have made it harder to find that mid-morning motivation. Some days, a…

Yellow cabs
New York City wouldn’t be the same without its bright yellow taxis zipping through the streets, adding that perfect splash of color to the skyline. But did you know those cabs weren’t always yellow? The first cabs were actually painted green and red. It wasn’t until Allen’s New York Taxicab Company decided to switch to…

Elephants
Are loose in the Meatpacking District, a hotspot for art lovers. Its latest outdoor installation titled ‘The Great Elephant Migration’ aims to promote conservation and coexistence between humans and wildlife. And the best part?! You can by them and exhibit them in your tiny NYC apartment 😅 Jokes aside, this is for a great cause!…

Tastes like home
And just like that, fall has arrived overnight, bringing with it cooler mornings, refreshing breezes, and longer evenings. It’s the perfect season for hearty meals and cozy nights at home. So, it was a delightful coincidence that I finally discovered a wonderfully moist and tangy 100% rye bread at a local farmers market. For those…

MoMA
The Museum of Modern Art has an extraordinary collection of modern and contemporary art. When contemplating especially the newer pieces, I cannot help but wonder if, like my British friends would call it, the artists are taking the mickey out of us viewers. In my eyes, some of those installations, paintings, sculptures and other things…

Broadway
I attending my first Broadway play this weekend- such a fantastic experience! The area is truly unique! If you ignore the uncoordinated flocks of tourists, you feel the showbiz vibes and sense great talent. The play I booked was cancelled but I was lucky to secure tickets for another one and it kept me engaged…

New York Fashion week
Has now ended after a couple of days full of glamour, cool vibes and curiosities. But truth be told, most of what I was able to witness were fences and barriers. From time to time I caught a glimpse of high fashion and absurdities (sometimes hard to differentiate) but unfortunately I was never quick enough…

Relaxation
It’s been a while since I last had a spa day! So I went on a quest to find a nice and affordable place to enjoy a relaxing massage (not an easy undertaking in the world’s most expensive city). After hours reading through google reviews and comparing those outraged prices the luxury hotels offer, this…
