My Gypsy Life

My old roomie and I stopped by the Brooklyn Flea this past weekend and stopped by this adorable booth run by Claudia Pearson. We both purchased some items and today I stopped by her website only to find more delightful images. I really want this one below.

My delicious Israeli breakfast this morning…quite similar to Turkish so it made me happy

Why yes please! Giant Slide here I come.

(turkish coffee, New York)

Last week, jetlagged and needing my Turkish fix, I convinced a friend to assist me on my hunt for Turkish coffee. Found and delicious!

I’m home and I still have so many more stories and photos to post about my time in China. Until then, this is what I was thinking about in the cab from the airport to my apartment, driving down the BQE, seeing the Manhattan skyline for the first time in 6.5 weeks.

There are 3 stages of a traveler:

#1: Visiting place for a few days is like a first date, everyone is on their best behavior. Both are perfect in this moment.

#2: Staying in a place for 6 weeks is like the first time you have sex with that person. You are addicted and you want more. You are giddy with passion.

#3: Living in a place is like being in a relationship. You are comfortable but there are flaws. Sometimes you need to reignite the romance.

I’m not ready to reignite the romance with New York because I’m giddy over Shanghai.

Another photo from last weekend. Looking out my window it looks to be another beautiful weekend in New York. 

Happy Weekend…here are some photos I took around the city last weekend.

Spotted in Meatpacking the other day

New York.

I want to be cool and drive the streets of Manhattan in a vespa.

The sunset in the city last night was amazing. This photo does no justice. Grateful for the rooftop. Grant’s Tomb (on the left) and the Jerz across the river.
