I’ve lived in New York City for over a year and have loved getting to know the city more each day.
October is the true beginning of autumn, or “fall” as they say here, in New York City. It’s been a bit of a crazy month for me, mostly to do with trying to arrange my visa interview for a working visa, so I can start my new job. It’s stressed me out a lot, and has been hugely expensive – I have to fly back … Continue reading NYC Life: October 2019
I think I need to break up with pizza by the slice, but apart from that, September has been such a wonderful month. Maybe even our best month here yet! (I need to stop eating pizza, but if you want to eat excellent pizza may I suggest Prince Street Pizza in Nolita and for something crazy unhealthy but undoubtedly yummy, try the artichoke slice at … Continue reading NYC Life: September 2019
August was a sad month for me, but I am still grateful for the many moments filled with laughter and love, and some of my favourite people in the world. A few days after I got back to New York City from Greece, my grandmother passed away. I flew to Brisbane, Australia, to be with my family and help prepare for the funeral. It’s too big … Continue reading NYC Life: August 2019
West Village is one of my favourite neighbourhoods for photography in New York City. With plenty of quiet, tree-lined streets with historic brownstones and independent cafes, bars and boutiques, it has a lively neighbourhood atmosphere while also offering a respite from the madness of New York City. West Village is the western section of Greenwich Village, and you can really feel the different in atmosphere … Continue reading A Walk around West Village, New York City
This month’s recap will be very brief, because I was only in New York City for two weeks and they were very low key! I spent the second half of July in Greece, to celebrate a friend’s wedding and spend some time in the Cyclades. More on that soon. New York in July is very hot and sticky, and I can see why most New … Continue reading NYC Life: July 2019
Summer has arrived and it is a beautiful time to be in New York City! June has definitely been the most challenging move of the month to date, but the lowest lows have also come with a few of the highest highs. The difference between moving and travelling is being felt loud and clear this month – funnily enough, when I wrote about this the first time I was … Continue reading NYC Life: June 2019
As with everything in New York, the seasons here are intense. Nowhere displays this better than Central Park, the city’s green lung which throughout the year moves from green to gold, to brown & white, and finally to the colours of spring – including a lot of pink! Cherry blossoms and magnolias sprinkle Central Park with shades of pale pink at the start of spring, … Continue reading First Bloom Cherry Blossoms in Central Park
May marks my first full month in New York City. The start of May was chilly and rainy, but New York is one of the few cities I know of that improves in the rain. The air smells cleaner and fresher, the streets are momentarily cleaner and the sidewalks are quieter. As a result, the city is in full bloom. Near the end of May, we … Continue reading NYC Life: May 2019
New York City has a rich and diverse culture thanks to generations of immigration. The city has benefited from welcoming immigrants in countless ways, and the most tangible is it’s diverse and delicious cuisine! On a summer trip to New York before we moved there, I took the Tenements, Tales & Tastes food & history tour with Urban Adventures so I could learn how generation of … Continue reading Tenements, Tales & Tastes: A Food & History Tour of New York City
New York City is one of my favourite cities in the world as well as my favourite travel destination in the USA. Ever since my first visit, three years ago, I’ve practically been counting down the days til I could go back, and it felt like my month-long trip to the USA & Canada couldn’t come soon enough! After spending 8 weeks in New York … Continue reading Highlights from 10 Days in New York City
