One of my favorite streets in NYC is West 14th Street.
The
Apple store there is a lot more pleasant to shop, because it's not as busy as the one on 5th Ave. The
Alexander McQueen store is definitely a must whenever my boyfriend and I are in town, and eventhough I don't exercise, I always visit the
McQueen/Puma-shop next door wishing I did. The
Jeffrey-store is
always amazing, and it's where I spotted the
Chanel Temporary Tattoo's I got for my sister and where I saw the Chanel-necklace I'm planning to get later this month. Across the street there's DVF and just a few minutes away you can find
Bleecker Street (think: Marc Jacobs!). What's not to like?
This year my boyfriend and I took a shopping break in
High Line Park, an old elevated railway track transformed into a little and quiet oasis. It looked amazing, and you can tell that hours and hours are put into keeping the 'park' as nice as possible. The view from up-there is great too. Too bad that the weather wasn't that great that day.
Afterwards we headed to Bleecker Street to hit the Marc Jacobs-stores on our way to
Red Bamboo, another nice vegetarian restaurant with the most amazing soy chicken salad. But while we were getting over there, we noticed that -contrary to last year- there wasn't a two hour-line at
Magnolia Bakery. There was actually nobody inside the shop. I'm not one to try out stuff just because it's been on tv or something but I blame that sweet smell of freshly baked cakes for luring us into the shop.
Although both the chocolate vanilla and the vanilla cupcake was very good, I was too sugary for my taste. But if you happen to walk by, and there's no ridiculous waiting line outside, go right in and get the vanilla one..
