nyc – brooklyn

it was too hot, but when in ny last week, i had to do the cross-brooklyn-bridge experience – and the views were amazing!

i was so lucky to spend the day with a dear friend from back home – we then wandered through brooklyn,  did some shopping and had the nicest lunch break at building on bond, a great spot recommended to us by the jonathan adler shop round the corner.

rue

ever since i moved to provo i am more into the world wide web. i have started reading books, articles, newspapers and magazines online – we don’t have access to every issue we would have in a busy city.

during my online research i found a true gem called rue magazine, an addictive design and lifestyle magazine – it comes out every two months and i am SO hooked!

have a peek at issue six out today!

nyc – highline

i went twice, during my stay in ny!

the highline, a public park built on a 1.45-mile-long elevated rail structure, is one of the smartest initiatives i’ve heard of. it used to be a freight rail line that carried meat to the meatpacking district, agricultural goods to the factories and warehouses of the industrial west side, and mail to the post office.

there are loads of foodie spots around the highline – we had an uberdelicious brunch at the standard grill before the walk – the atmosphere was great and the sun was shining, so our outdoor seating was perfect. on another day, we stopped at the lot for drinks and snacks.

we walked and walked and walked, shopped, window-shopped and complained about our feet, but we couldn’t stop!
