Sunday stroll
First time I’ve ventured outside Manhattan and explored Greenpoint. The northern tip of Brooklyn has nice vibes, cool restaurants and amazing views of the Manhattan skyline ☺️ The area was originally farmland and many European settlers landed on this strip of American soil which they referred to as the lush, tree covered tip of land…

The Whitney
The Whitney Museum of American Art was founded by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney in 1930. It is famous for collecting, preserving, interpreting, and exhibiting the finest twentieth century American Art.

Sunday Brunch
One thing New Yorkers apparently love to do is going for long and boozy brunches on the weekend. So I thought today is ideal to join in on the fun. Warm, sunny and the Sunday before the bank holiday, it was the perfect day for a rooftop terrace, a chilled glass of Rosé and an…
