NEW YORK QUICK GUIDE

My dears! Finally we're back from the Big Apple and ready to share my New York finds with you. We were so lucky to land on JFK airport the day after X-Mas. There was so much snow that only 8 planes were able to land on JFK that day. Isn't that a miracle? Needless to say we had a wonderful time in this sparkling city. It was great to travel with my Mr. again and we lived life to the max in Manhattan. (Because life is too short...) Many blog friends asked me to give some tips and ideas where to go while in New York. So I thought it may be nice to pull together a quick guide of some of the hotspots I've visited while I was in New York last week...

Where to sleep...
We decided to sleep in the Pod Hotel on 51st street. The location is perfect BUT: On their website they show you an urban design hotel but in real it's far below that standard. At the entrance you will see some design but your room is simple and basic. I must admit that's not a problem but for $300,- a night you expect a little more. The service of the hotel is below my standards: no roomservice, no breakfast and the wifi connection in the rooms is very weak so you can't even check update my blog...

Where to eat...
New York has over 18.000 very good and affordable restaurants so it's impossible to mention them all. Here are some good ones that I visited:
i Trulli: The name reveals it already. This is true Italian food. We had a wonderful diner here. Their pastas and 'secondi's' are divine. In addition they have a great wine list.
Spice Market: In the meatpack district there are many good restaurants. This is one of them. 
Villa Pacri: Fine dining with Italian styling and decor
And for breakfast:
Le Pain Quotidien This Belgian Breadshop gives New York and extra good breakfast and lunchplace.

Later this week I will post an additional list with my shopping tips for NYC. I hope you will enjoy it!

Moomah NYC

A lovely new cafe in the Soho area in New York has arised: Moomah is an arty cafe with a creative mind for adults and their children.They state on their website it is, "A place of sweet whimsy, wonder and warmth, Moomah is a creative playscape, a cozy cafe, a living classroom, a quiet hideaway, an art oasis, your neighborhood meeting spot. Your favorite place to be together, and a place for your child to simply be." Brilliant, don't you think? Wow -- I wish more places like this existed!

Pretty in Pink

Pink can by pretty. Look at this beautiful loft. Decorated by interior designer Ghislaine Viñas. This loft is located in Tribeca, New York. It is 200 square feet and located on the eighth floor of a former printing industry,
This style is based on a few principles: simplicity, functionality and pink. So pink.


The owner, a teacher of jazz dance, has a passion especially for the bright tones of pink, from pink to magenta. She wanted to give these colours personality to the family home. She lives in this loft apartment with her husband and four little ones. Live with her husband, banker, and four children. As you can see it is not impossible to live in an apartment with kids:-)



I just love the magenta touch in the kitchen. The large corner sofa is also an awesome item.

The house design reveals the origin of the Danish owner. If you take a closer look you may find many essential pieces of furniture by Arne Jacobsen and Hans Wegner.

The registry changes color in the bedrooms. There are the blue and green for the children's bedrooms. The materials are practical and functional. I'm looking for more inspiring interiors with magenta. Do you have some inspiration? Please let me know!!
