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!…

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.

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

Anime convention
Anime NYC is happening this weekend! A three day event that unites fans from all over for unique exhibitions and exclusive screenings. You probably ask yourself how do I know this?

Need a little cash?
Back in New York, a city with a different kind of vibe and unique urban ambiance. Look at this charming 24 hour ATM machine… nothing wrong with it, fully functioning and well positioned 😉 I wonder who is using those and if it’s just me being superstitious as to me, this looks like a data…

Dreams
Hold fast to dreamsFor if dreams dieLife is a broken-winged birdThat cannot fly.Hold fast to dreamsFor when dreams goLife is a barren fieldFrozen with snow. By Langston Hughes

DMV
New York City DMV, here I come… For my international friends, the DMV is the Department of Motor Vehicles. But it also functions as some sort of ‘Bürgerbüro’ as the driver’s license is one of the main forms of identification. NY requires its residents to change an out of state drivers licence to a local…
