Soho is a staple Manhattan Icon. It has cobble stone streets, coloured buildings littered with coordinated fire escapes and impeccably dressed women flitting in and out of luxury stores. It it’s gorgeous opulence I find myself wandering through the streets constantly taking pictures of every fire escape or cobble stone that I pass treating every…

Metropolitan Museum
The Museum Mile Festival is one night a year when 5th ave is closed off on museum mile for a street festival. For us who had class from 9-4, Monday to Friday or work during those same hours visiting a museum can be difficult. Because of this one night Marianne and I decided to take…
The Boathouse Central Park
June 8th is a day I will not forget. Why? I went to the Boathouse for dinner. The Boathouse overlooks the pond in Central park and Bethesda Terrace. While dining under its red awnings it’s common to catch a glimpse of the turtles and fish who live in these waters. The grandeur of the Boathouse…
Central Park City
Central Park is gorgeous, an oasis within the concrete jungle. It’s where you can disappear in New York and find yourself not within a crowd. Where being alone doesn’t feel lonely. Around Park Avenue Princes and Princesses, tourists and the occasional downtown dweller who ventured up town for the park, the looming canopy is serenity…
Rockefeller Centre Dreams
Rockefeller is a world unto itself. Tucked between avenues cushioned by sky scrapers the sounds of traffic and tourists fighting through hoards of different tourists makes you feel that this is what the good city life must be. Sitting in what is normally a skating rink during the colder months you look up to the…

A Torontonian in New York
Being a Canadian in New York is difficult. For one the drinking age throws one off when you consider that you’ve been legal to drink since 19 years of age and a year and a bit later you can’t even get a sampler at a liquor store let alone a whiff. You also become acutely…
North Cove
In the first week of class our teacher took us on a field trip to the newly developed Brookfield Place in North Cove. While there Joan (our teacher) took us through a J Crew store to show us what she looks for when she is doing research for her own product lines. After going through…
Puddle Jump
Flying to New York from Toronto Pearson is painless… almost sleepwalk-able… almost. I mean ladies and gentlemen this trip isn’t your usual tropical vacation 4am wake up stumble to the airport, sleep on the plane for an hour, wake up to the day drinkers at the back of the plane, fall asleep again, wake up…
