Tall Girls Take NYC

WHERE : NEW YORK CITY

WHEN: JULY 2015

WHY: WORK / ADVENTURES

For those that didn’t know – I used to live in NYC a million moons ago so every time I go back its like I never left! NYC in the summer is amazing! The streets are buzzing (so are the mosquitos) – I just love the vibe.

I took a trip back this summer for some work for TTYA and forgot how much I love the city.

I was lucky enough to get a comp’d room at NewYork Edition. Located in the heart of New York City’s Flatiron District, steps from Madison Square Park, the hotel seamlessly blends the integrity and character of a prestigious landmark building with a simple, sophisticated design sensibility.

From the first night it was straight into party zone. A HOTEL LIFE celebrated its 2 year birthday. I lived the TTYA cami mini dress pretty much the whole time!

It’s always good to reconnect with friends, so this trip had personal elements as well as business. It’s great to build your network globally and I get so excited about meeting new people and travelling!!!

I’d thought I would give you a few tips and tricks of places I like to eat/ hidden gems

Enjoy!

Lovely Day 

My obsession with watermelon salad started here! It’s in Nolita, super cheap and Thai inspired. *NOTE* Everything is laid-back here including the service.

LISTEN! If you love trailing through 2nd hand clothes as much as I do, allow time for a trip to the good will – Once I left with 27 bags *bows head in shame*. It takes work to go through each rail, however you can pick up some absolute gems! I tend to head to the one in Brookyln as I kill 2 birds with 1 stone making a stop at my fav dollar slice pizzeria across the street..RESULT!!
