I heart NY

Well, as promised, we have compiled a concise list of must see's from our trip to the big apple, it was quite a challenge to break this down, but hopefully if you haven't seen these places already, you get the chance to check them out on your own trip to the city that never sleeps!

Best Exhibition...Alexander McQueen-Savage Beauty...
Currently on at The Metropolitan Museum, this is a definite must-see. Up close, these pieces were simply breath-taking. What stuck us the most was the all-round appreciation for McQueen's work, young & old, from all walks of life, it was just as interesting listening to people's responses as to seeing the work itself.

Best Exhibit...'Bingo' 1974 Gordon Matta-Clark...
Firm fans of his work, this piece currently on display at MoMA was a real treat to see up close, instead of from the pages of a book.

Best Diner...Juniors...
Just off Time Square this diner is THE place for a slice of their famous New York cheesecake and a great American breakfast, whether it's pancakes with sugar-cured bacon and maple syrup, or Eggs Benedict...mmm!

Best Restaurant...Buddakan...
Serving modern Asian cuisine in the heart of the Meatpacking District, the food is stunning and the crowd cooler than cool!

Best Bar...Apotheke...
Tucked away in Chinatown was the perfect hidden gem. A former Opium den, owners Christopher & Heather Tierney have transformed this into the ultimate NY cocktail bar.
