NEW YORK CITY – Review Part V (Chelsea Market)
NEW YORK CITY – Review Part V (Chelsea Market)
While wandering up Ninth Avenue for art galleries, we stumbled upon a quaint marketplace.
In the 1890s, the National Biscuit Company built a two million square feet factory that stretches from Ninth to Tenth Avenue, and up 15th to 16th Street. The former Oreo production house now resides big broadcasting companies like the Food Network and Oxygen Media. Located directly below the corporate businesses is Chelsea Market. Multicultural foods, adorable desserts, and a vast array of shops were set against a back drop of brick walls and exposed pipes. This rustic chic destination was a visual and palatal feast that attracted locals and tourists alike.

NEW YORK CITY – Review Part III (MoMa Ps1)
NEW YORK CITY – Review Part III (MoMa Ps1)
Modern art and installations aren’t usually in my top list of must-sees, so I’m glad my friend suggested going to the MoMA Ps1. If the MoMA was eye opening, then the MoMA Ps1 was mind-altering. This Long Island gallery housed an array of mystifying pieces. I was intrigued and perplexed by everything I saw. From hand painted murals to full room installations, each piece challenged our perception of reality and mental boundaries. It makes us reevaluate the way we see the world. I love the way ordinary topics can be turned into multifaceted works of art; how one concept, can result in an astonishing blend of colours, textures, sounds and emotions.

NEW YORK CITY - July 2013
NEW YORK CITY - July 2013
Successfully planning and leading a week long trip to New York City has been my biggest accomplishment of 2013 thus far. That may seem silly, but I have never planned a vacation on my own before. I spent a week comparing flights, accommodations and prices before booking a “hotel + flight plan” from Expedia. After that, I spent another month finessing our trip itinerary, studying maps and researching transit routes. That may sound excessive, but we only had one week to visit over thirty sights by foot and public transit. That’s multiple galleries, museums, bars, parties and shopping districts all across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Long Island.
A calculated plan was essential to conquer this city…
