Sake tasting
This weekend, I attended a great event: a sake tasting and learning session. It was held at Kura Brewery, tucked away in Brooklyn’s Industry City, a dynamic new development area. It was a truly fun—and tasty—experience that brought me one step closer to genuinely enjoying sake. Just a short time ago, I wouldn’t have imagined…

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!…

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…

The MET
It’s been a long bank holiday weekend! Last year, I spent Labor Day with my friend in Sonoma- check out my post here. This year, I’ve explored New York City a bit more. My highlight was the Metropolitan Museum of Art which I’ve visited on Friday and loved it! It’s full of art, artefacts, history…

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? It was easy to put one and one together when I started seeing people walking around the city dressed up as anime characters. It’s…

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…
