NYC Summary

Highlights of New York City holiday:

  • Amazing skyscrapers.
  • Systematic grids for easy navigation around the city.
  • Starbucks (considerably better choices for sandwiches and cakes), Citibank and Duane Reade (Boots equivalent) at every corner I kid you not.
  • Cheap Broadway musicals; we watched Grease.
  • Beautifully landscaped Central Park.
  • Great shopping - Designer outlets + Macy’s; generally everything is cheaper here vs. London.
  • The sale at Bath and Body Works; everything was going for $5 – Warm Vanilla Sugar is heavenly!
  • Friendly New Yorkers, although Americans from other parts think otherwise.
  • Discovering that flying British Airways far exceed my expectations.

Some unexpected setbacks too:

  • Very cold weather for a tropical girl like me; it was -5 degrees on average everyday brrrr...
  • We were both ill during trip.
  • Bickering with IK; regrettably our differences tend to get amplified during holidays.
  • Limited time to shop as much as I would have loved to boo hoo hoo.
