Big Apple Barbecue Block Party

The Big Aple Barbecue Block Party takes place one weekend each June at Madison Square Park (in front of the Flatiron building and Eataly). This year it happened on the 9th and 10th of June. Basically, it is a free admission event to celebrate award-winning barbecue and Southern-inspired fare from the country’s top pitmasters available for $8/plate. There was a great Motown style band playing when we were there. The weather was absolutely beautiful and everyone was having a great time.
I truly enjoyed it!!!! As the queues were so long, we didn't have any food from the stands. Next year, I definetely will :) xxxx

Whereabouts....

I am so sad I haven't been writing here as much...Summer has arrived in New York and I am trying to make the most of it,  juggling work, exercise, fun, housekeeping duties, personal life, etc...

I have been up to so many things and I need to sit down and share with you guys!!!!!!!Among them: The Mermaid Parade @ Coney Island, Pride Parade, Klim'ts exhibition and Big Apple Barbecue. Time out, I love you!!!!!!

Loving the heat in this city, even when it get close to the 40s Celsius lol 

What a  change!!!!!! :) 

All good though. Had my first Birthday in the US and already looking forward to July 4th (my hubby's Bday too). Can't wait for the fireworks and the party to begin.

7 months in New York, nearly 3 months working. Life is good!!!!!!:):)

Summer, bring it on!!!!!

Loads of love xxxxxxxxx

Spiegelworld @ Empire New York

If you are in New York this summer, don't miss Spiegelworld @ Empire New York!!!!!!Mainly if your are looking for something different and off the beaten track of Broadway (in spite of being based in the middle of Times Square).  It was my first show in New York and I was truly impressed. I had seen a similar show in London a couple of years ago called La Soiree.  It is a mix of vaudeville, burlesque, circus with impressive performances and a hint of comedy.
 I went with work and we had amazing tickets on the 1st and 2nd row.
The lady singing during the show reminded me of Florence and the Machine as well. 
Have a look at some of the amazing photos:

 One word to define it: AWESOME!!!!!!

Hope you enjoy!!!!! xxxxx

Sunset on Hudson with Chuck Bramman Jazz Band

Back to New York after amazing 10 days in England. Oh dear, how I miss that country!!!!! Oh dear, how I love the American weather. I was freezing in England in the last couple of days...We definetely can't have it all.

So happy it is summer and there are so many free things to do in the city.

Last Friday, we went to this free event on Pier 45. Sunset + Jazz Band + NY's skyline in the background :) So nice!!!!!!!
