PART ONE

I just returned from one of the BEST trips ever to my second home, New York City. After living there for almost three years, this was my first return to the city of dreams. My trip was nothing short of magical, from reuniting with friends, to exploring new hot spots. I honestly wish I could have just one more day, but for now, I’m busy planning my next big trip back home.

I used to get this question almost weekly when I lived in Manhattan: What should I do in New York City? So I thought I’d start sharing my tips and tricks of a former local, and the best spots for different occassions. Because this could get lengthy, I’m starting off with a PART ONE of WHAT TO DO IN NEW YORK CITY. I’ll be back with more, so don’t hesitate to ask questions.

Lastly, shop my latest trip’s outfits with all of the links below. And yes, I did wear these Comfortiva Sneakers every single day. Enjoy friends!
