I LOVE New York. Adore would perhaps be a better word.
But I no longer live in New York. Having lived there for 25 years or so, with breaks living in London and California, including travels across other continents, I still love the fact that this city will not only surprise you, it will blow you away and... inspire you.
Food is my main tour medium. I will show you New York via the best places to eat, snack, drink for the least amount of money, but for ridiculously huge gastronomical pay-offs, i.e. the stuff tastes exactly as you would have dreamed it, if you could have dreamed it.
I also like a museums, galleries, exhibitions that expand your sense of humanity and transformation.
I also like shops to buy cool things that you need... yes, you do NEED them.
But, I will probably always talk about food.
Why am I writing this? Wherever I am, people ask me - I'm going to New York soon, what should I do??
Wow, how to answer that one! Do whatever you want is the short answer. It's all there for you.
The long answer... is this blog.
Told from a New Yorker who was born in London, but grew up in and fell in love with the city (as if she was a... man - hmmm, mixed metaphor, but work with me), because it is this amazing spontaneous, self-regulating experiment in humanity living and eating together.
Eat - being my operative word.
Indulge!
