Touchdown to the greatest city on earth. After finding our sweet little apartment and snoozing for 12 hours Emma and I headed to Times Square. The very first thing that happened? A woman gave us free cupcakes!
From there we headed to Union Square and schlepped around a giant (to my teeny Kiwi eyes) Barnes & Noble. Novel. There I found Domo, preparing for Halloween:
Talk about making friends with the subway maps. A + E + 1 + W + ? I adore all the station mosaics. They’re like Pokemon, I want to capture them all…
Food summary of the day: Ordered an amazing pizza and sipped some truly disgusting “coffee”. Desperate for a good one, I have been coffee free for about a week – this is truly abnormal. If you know where to find some let me know! xx

You need to go to Five Leaves in Williamsburg, Brooklyn – they were my coffee saviours. However, I did miss the elusive flat white that just does not exist in NY, but all the lattes did come in flat white cups.. We’re very spoilt on this side of the world when it comes to coffee.
Can’t believe the weather has changed so much when I was only there just over a month ago! Completely different!
Oh and don’t go to Barnes & Noble – go to The Strand on Broadway by Union Square, super cheap and great! (P.s where are you staying?)
I would love to take you for a good quality coffee! Maybe this weekend?
I am very sorry I didn’t come to the show tonight; I was at work until 11pm!
I love reading about NY through someone else’s point of view, it’s truly awesome. Sounds like you’re having just the right amount of wonderful so far :)
Enjoy it all – soak up the atmosphere our little Kiwi girl!
New York looks like such a great place! I can’t wait to go there.
La Colombe coffee on Lafayette Street between prince & spring streets!
Maaaaaan…your adventures make me want to hop on a plane and just GO. I’m eight hours from NYC and can’t afford the trip, but it’s like a little siren song in the back of my head. Looking forward to more adventures!
If you’re in SOHO There’s super good coffee next to supreme on layfayette, between prince & housten x
