A little bit of my trip to Philly..

Wow.. I found some shots of when I went to Philadelphia, which was in May..
I know it's almost nothing but I am gonna share more pictures of this trip as soon as I can get access to all my pictures again.
But for now.. this is Philly, a City where you can visit all tourist spots within two hours, just by walking.
So the rest of our days we could spend with our friend, who lives there and knows the city by heart.
He was able to take us to places where tourists wouldn't get, for example a small beer festival in a lovely neighborhood or his favorite Philly Cheesesteak place. Yummy!

What makes this city to what it is?

There are so many different aspects which make this city to what it is. Streetart is one of them. It is to be found at every corner. Here are just some examples I captured in Little Italy and by the Highline Park.

An alternative for every raindrop

Next to all different kinds of interesting people, colorful street art, giant buildings, charming neighborhoods, the crazy nightlife, beautiful and lively parks and too many good stores and boutiques, NYC also offers a bunch of amazing museums. So on one of the rainy days - of which we had quite a lot lately- I went to The Museum of Modern Art.

For now enjoy some pictures of my visit while I am off to Miami - South Beach-  to soak up some sun. 

Walk the High Line

Exept a few (or maybe a few more) rainy days we had an amazing sunny "August - Weather" the last couple of weeks in NYC. So there was no question, I had to spend time outside in the city.

And because New York City is a great "walking City" I didn´t feel too bad that my work out was left behind a little bit.

Anyway, one option is to walk down the High Line Park along the Lower Westside of Manhattan, which is a former NYC Railroad track. The park runs, among others, through the neighborhood Chelsea and ends in the Meatpacking District. While walking down the High Line you can gaze at all different architectures, art objects, graffitis, musicians ... and of course people ;) .

Artists and Fleas in Williamsburg - Part 1

My friend Nanna and I finally made it to the Williamsburg Fleamarket, which is located in Williamsburg (Brooklyn) right on the riverside of the eastriver.

Williamsburg is a very artistic neighborhood with a lot of charming Restaurants and Boutiques.

On our way back to the subway we found an indoor Flea and Art Market (called Artists & Fleas), which is definitely worth visiting as well.

May I introduce.. Lower East Side

Just a little sneak peek at the Lower East Side of Manhattan...
