NYC

Today I am hungover and feeling rather sorry for myself. Today, like most days, I miss New York. I was lucky enough to spend Christmas 2012 there. This holiday was extra special because it was mine and my partner's first proper holiday together and where he asked me to marry him (I said yes!)

I don't want this blog to become a bunch of lists...but here's a few things I miss about NYC!

Two Bros - this pizza place was the first 'meal' we had once we got to New York. We ended up going there a few times because the pizza was so good and it was only a dollar a slice (one slice was all I needed - it was massive!)

The size of the buildings - I found myself looking up the whole time I was walking down the street there. Everything is on such a big scale and pretty overwhelming. There are beautiful buildings and bright lights on every street.

Anthropologie - I have since found out that this store delivers online to the UK but it's not nearly as much fun as going to the actual store. I wanted to buy everything. They even had a whole section of stunning door handles!!

The diners - There is nothing like sitting in a steamy diner on a bitterly cold day and taking your time over a big pile of pancakes and a glass of orange juice. Bacon and maple syrup. Yum!

Bryant park - This is where we got engaged and where we spent a lot of our time! Because we went at Christmas there was an ice rink and lots of amazing stalls selling everything from popcorn to beautiful jewellery.

I know we will go back one day but for now
