A taste of the Big Apple

New York City had been on my list of places to visit for some time now, so when it was finally booked and my last stop before returning home, I couldn't wait for it to arrive! What I wasn't prepared for though was the weather - we just happened to be there for the hottest week of the summer where high temperatures and New York's humidity equalled quite a sticky situation.

Besides the weather I thoroughly enjoyed the trip with Malado and her sister for five days (which wasn't long enough). Here are my top 10 from my trip to the Big Apple.

1) Bike riding through and around Central Park

2) Time Square at night

3) Spending the day with my family who I met for the first time and enjoying an American BBQ

4) Shopping - all the best brands!

5) Magnolia Bakery and other locations from some of my favourite TV series'

6) Rooftop bars in the Meatpacking District

7) View of the Statue of Liberty on the ferry to Statton Island

8) View of Manhattan from Brooklyn Bridge

9) Going to a Yankees game at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx

10) Grand Central Station... just like the movies!
