Travel Diaries: New York

1. For me, all year round it’s the museums. I love the MET. It’s so big inside and there’s so much to see. I also enjoy exploring at the Sony Wonderland. There’s tons to do like playing with technology. The Intrepid Museum in Chelsea Piers is also a favourite of mine. Then normally, I like to go bowling at Pier 60 nearby and go to Sugar Factory in Meat Packing for the sugar rainbow coloured mini delicious burgers!

2. Coney Island! I love that place, it's one of the best places to visit in New York. It’s a fun place to hang out with friends. There are rides, a roller coaster that’s older than my mom, ice cream, a boardwalk and a beach. What more can you ask for?!

3. If you are into fashion like me, shopping on 5th Avenue and Madison Avenue are my absolute favourites. From 86 St & Madison to 50th you just walk on a spring day and it’s the absolute best. Nothing like a nice new outfit to make you feel confident.

4. The Central Park Zoo. I love animals and it’s cool to see a bunch of cool animals in the middle of the city! It feels like a little escape with all of the greenery around.

5. No one does a parade better than NYC! As a New Yorker, I look forward to the New York Easter Parade. It's my absolutely favourite time of the year because 1. my birthday is usually near and 2. I get so much fashion inspiration from the people who come out with their best hats and amazing fashion. I love the crowd of people that get together and every year I’ve made some good friends. I have so much fun just watching people walk by and the Easter floats are always exciting. I often dream of being on one too. There’s also a fun Easter egg hunt, face painting, balloons, cotton candy and some streets close down for block parties. I always come with my Easter basket empty and I get back home with tons of stuff. Plus, I also get to shop for a cute outfit. 

Ok so I’m allergic to hot dogs. It was a sudden thing which I’m very upset by because I love hot dogs. But when I was able to have them, the best I've had is from Feltmans in Coney Island. If you want to commute or are around the area, they're great! However, I would often go to Grays Papaya mainly because it’s in the city and not a far commute.
