NEW YORK. DAY 6

DAY SIX.

I found some WiFi at the airport so, keeping you guys up to date of our last day. After checking out we decided to do some last minute shopping and also have authentic New York pancakes! We went to a quaint diner, I had pancakes with bacon and coffee, what I am seriously going to miss American coffee, it was a delicious breakfast!

We had to come back to the hotel at 15:00pm which sadly went too quick.
New York has been such an incredible experience which I find everybody has to do! Their customs and life is so different yet amazing. These past few days have gone so quick and it makes it harder to go and leave NYC but, I will be back!

Before ending this post I wanted to mention the visual merchandising I saw around New York, as part of our tasks when we arrived, in all fairness I was not overly impressed. Most window displays seemed to be repetitive of previous seasons and did not stand out to me and some windows were being dressed, Louis Vuitton, Tiffanys & Co (though we were just in time to see their christmas). We were lucky enough to see Bergdorf Goodman before they took them down.

New York has been such a pleasure and I have learnt many things! 

Until next time

NEW YORK. DAY 5

DAY FIVE.

Our last full day in New York! So upsetting. We decided to go to The MET, no not The METS, and it was amazing! So many floors and galleries you could spend a whole day wondering around. We visited two exhibitions, we saw the 'History of the Kimono' and Anna Wintour's 'Mourning Attire' exhibition.






After the MET we walked down along Madison Avenue, we popped into some of the boutiques and noticed the seasonal changing visual merchandising, some windows were currently blank where some still had their christmas models and design.

We visited Grand Central Station and after been told by my sister, since her last visit to New York to try 'the best red velvet cupcake ever' we took a trip to Juniors and it was the best experience and idea ever. No other cupcake can compare.




On our way back from Grand Central, we decided to have a pit stop in the Public Library and seen the Public Sharing exhibition. It was an intuitive exhibition, we learnt how photographers from the 18th and 19th century distributed their artworks before technology became and how during this present time how social media has made a change in photo sharing, we were really glad we went to this exhibition.



To end off a great week in New York, we had dinner at Ellen's Singing Diner at this moment my battery died so I couldn't capture any pictures but there was never a drag moment and we all had an enjoyable experience!

I am currently now induced in a food coma and still have a lot to pack for tomorrow's 12pm checkout. 
Until next time!
