I struggled with the decision. I should be job hunting instead of Bloomingdales hunting, right? Well, not really. For the past month I have been researching everything you can do for free or really, really on the cheap and I have found some fantastic things. I have been to New York three times before and wanted to do something different. So this trip will not include the Empire State Building or Ground Zero. I will not wait in line at the M & M store in Times Square nor will I take a ferry to visit the Statue of Liberty. Instead I will be venturing into the unknown; the equally brilliant, equally stylish, equally interesting things to do in New York for half the price and I cannot wait. Oh, I've found some quirky things to do and I will share them with you on my blog in case you ever fancy taking a bite of the Big Apple sometime in the future. Keep checking, you might find something you like.

New York, New York, It's a hell of a town
I am unemployed. I'm living in a recession. I can just about afford train fare into London and have to hitch-hike my way back into the sticks. I walk through Selfridges and Liberty drooling and walk out wiping my tears away with my empty hands. I desperately want a Longchamp bag and screamed with envy when I heard my dear friend has just bought one. I take pleasure in the fact my parents pay for the internet, so at least I can go on their website and design my own make believe one (You totally can do that. You can even get your name sewn on! http://www.longchamp.com/en/home-e-shopping/home-sur-mesure-usa-560.html) I yearn to douse myelf in Jo Malone's Vanilla and Asise (God I love that smell!) and buy every necklace Alex Monroe has ever created and yet I smell of my cat and make my own jewellry with dry pasta and string. But hang on a minute... in two weeks time I will be on a terrifying plane journey to New York!!
