Sunday Funday

Reggae Sunday takes place every Sunday at wynwood yard in Miami. Wynwood yard is a really cool setting for lounging and listening to music. Lots of nooks and corners and even a garden setting to relax and chill. The mortar and pistil bar makes drinks using the herbs from the garden, how cool is that! Also fun to hangout with my girl friend Gaia who just happens to work for Kulcha Shok.

Where we slept New York

I have decided to keep a visual record of the places we have slept during our travels. We never seem to remember half of the places.

The last visit to New York had us at the Affinia Hotel , 371 Seventh Ave, Chelsea.

This hotel is an old building that once housed NYU students. I like to stay in homey neighborhoods, but for this trip this location was perfect because of its proximity to Penn station. Easily could have moved in and stayed forever.

What we ate

I know a German girl that would love this place.

Brekkie!!

I have a bucket list of places to eat in New York, Paris and London. With only an average of two trips a year to New York and even less to Europe, more restaurants are added than crossed off from the list. There is a very small chance of actually completing the list but it has been fun trying.

I had the pleasure of crossing two places of the list during this last trip to New York. JACKS WIFE FREDA and The EGG SHOP . Both being immensely popular and on trend right now making it a challenge to get in the door without waiting on line for up to an hour or more.
Luckily, we are early risers, braved the cold and morning rain and we were able to get seated without waiting. Both lived up to the hype. Seriously great food, great people watching, great service. They go back on the list because I am not done.
