New York City Part 1

New York seems like an age away. It sort of was & I have been lazy again with the blog... But reliving it through writing this just makes me realise what an incredible time I had. I still cant believe how many restaurants we managed to squeeze into our time in New York! The week was straight out of a fairy tale for me. Meeting up with my man-friend in New York after 2 and a half months of anticipation, our first night strolling down the high line hand in hand,watching the sunset from the roof top at the Standard and things only got better.

I am going to split my New York posts on the blog into two. There are just so many places to cover and I don't want to miss a thing. 

We stayed at a great AirBnB apartment in Chelsea near the market & high line, this picture was a block away from where we were and captures my feelings of the trip! 



Catch


Catch - Seafood restaurant in Meatpacking district. For obvious reasons with the name we wanted to go here. For our first meal in NYC it set the bench mark pretty high. Couldn't fault a dish although the popcorn shrimp was a highlight. 



Central Park - Beautiful, we got Wholefoods from Columbus Circus and ate it in the park. I still haven't made it up to the 'boat house' but I will one day! 


Daniel 




Great selfie mirror picture here before Daniel. What an incredible dining experience that was, our booking was for 5:45pm so that we could order the 'pre-theatre' menu. I must say the meal itself was quite a theatre, with the most attentive waiters I have ever experienced. 3 chosen courses with paired wines, 2 chefs specialties and a couple of petite fours later we rolled out onto 5th Avenue.

We were on our way to SoHo for dinner when the cab stopped at some lights in the West VIllage, the vibe was so 'electric' we decided to jump out and have a drink in the area. Chatting to someone in a bar they suggested we go here for dinner. It was incredible Mexican food, interesting cocktails and Jason Wu was sitted behind us! It was also a street down from 'Carrie's stoop.' Where I made my man-friend give me a kiss after stumbling upon it - must have been fate!

Jack's Wife Freda


I am going to be completly honest here, I only found this place from Ashley 'Ring my Bell''s instagram! I was sort of hoping for a celeb spot, but instead we got to sit outside and watch all the gorgeous SoHo New York women pass us by. I also got to see my friend Steph for the first time in nearly 5 months!
