Travel Diaries: New York, Day 3

My third day in New York was kind of a lazy one, especially because it was Sunday and we were tired from partying the night before. Diego and I woke up near noon, had a late breakfast and then were ready to go.

We went to China Town to buy some exotic sweets, to take back home, but we ended up spending most of the day there. We tried lots of different fun sweets (I particularly loved the ginger ones), and then had late lunch there. We went to a noodle place Diego had tried before, and had noodle soup with won-tons and noodle soup with mushrooms. They were much better than their looks in the pics below, trust me!

We went to Times Square at night –something we hadn't done in a while– and walked all the way back. All in all, it was a good lazy day. There's nothing better than just hanging out around New York.

Travel Diaries: New York, Day 2

On my second day in New York, Diego and I went to the Met Museum to see the exposition Punk: Chaos To Couture. It's truly amazing to see the huge impact of punk culture in fashion.

Pictures were strictly forbidden... But Diego –probably inspired by all these rebel punk ideas– managed to take a few, which I'm sharing with you on this post.

After visiting the exposition, we were starving, so we went to Lexington Candy Shop, where we had the best egg sandwich ever, with onion rings and chocolate milkshake. It was everything but healthy, although truly delicious!

We walked by home, having a beautiful promenade on Park Ave., Madison and the Fifth. We then had a little nap, and then were ready to go out. We went to phd, where we met a hilarious Australian girl who didn't stop dancing in the whole night. I'd never seen someone with all that energy! I loved her! We also saw Cee Lo Green having a good time on the table right next to us. But what I loved the most was the view of the Empire State right from the terrace of the club.

Travel Diaries: Welcome To New York!

I'll be spending the next couple of days in New York, meeting Diego. I arrived on Friday morning, and he received me with the sweetest collection of presents in the whole world! I honestly never expected such an amazing welcome, but he did surprise me with all the things I love!

I especially liked the cropped dress he got for me in Soho... There's something about the colours I just loved from the first moment! It definitely is summer. When we entered a store, a women told me I looked just like summer... And it was all because of this amazing dress!

After having some good breakfast and a short nap, Diego and I adventured into the city and spent the day wandering around. For lunch, we had prosciutto panini with soda at Bottega Falai. We then stopped by at some Cuban bar, where he had a sangria and I had a Margarita. We came back home around midnight, and we ate the most amazing bowl of chocolate ice cream... It might not have been a very healthy day but it was amazing!

Hugs from the city that never sleeps (just like I feel right now),
