I LOVE YOU NEW YORK! That was what I've been screaming inside my head when I landed at JFK Airport. Think this... I just landed and I'm still at the airport and I'm mentally screaming with excitement and I'm 45 minutes away from Manhattan, that's how excited I was.
I remember writing down "dream destinations" in my notebook and on top of that list was NYC. I even taped a cutout photo of Time Square and wrote down "walking down the streets of NYC". And 2 years after it happened. I really was walking down the streets of NYC for 5 days :) Magic notebook perhaps? ha! I wish!
NYC is expensive and I've decided to get my accommodations through AirBnB.com, (if you're traveling on a budget checkout that website). I rented a room in Upper East Side for less than USD100. It's a four-storey walk up building located along Lexington Ave cor 62nd Street and the apartment I'm staying at is on the 3rd floor. I thought this way I could really experience how it feels like living in NYC. And what's more important is location location location.
I only know one person in NYC, one of my closest friend, Happy (or Happeeee! that's how we normally greet each other haha). It was nice seeing her again after 3 years. She is a jewelry designer as well. And through her I got to meet and hang out with the great jewelry designers from Harry Winston & Alexis Bittar.
