Day 2 - Afternoon


 A quick cab ride and we were in Soho. This was by far my favourite part of New York. I enjoyed every second of being there. The cobble streets, the little stalls, the mix of high street and high-end shops and the diverse mix of people. We stopped at the Manhattan Bistro for lunch then it was back to exploring the city.


Here I saw some of the most beautiful examples of visual merchandising and some VM that Tim would definitely label as the work of a “lazy fashion stylist” (Louis Vuitton’s circus theme window to name one). Prada as we were told before the trip was amazing and truly original, I managed to snap a few blurry images of the inside before security came marching over to tell us off :) 


From Soho we made it to Chelsea and the Meat Packing District. The Chelsea market was beautiful and really lovely to walk around. Then it was to the High Line Park at night with all the lights, it was stunning.


Very tired we made it back to the hotel, got some food and walked two blocks to the Empire State Building. The views of the lights in New York at night have been featured in almost every film set in NY so seeing them in person was AMAZING.
