Vertigo


Still can't get enough of those rooftops without glass and wires. The one's with 360° view. 38thish floor with butterflies.

Rocking sofa with dog


On sunny spring sundays these rocking sofas are made for brunch. Constantly ordering yummie pastries coffees sandwiches and juices from the supercute cafe with the way too tacky name ciao for now.

Wall decoration

Yesterday I went to artists and fleas to check out the vinyls. A good friend of mine has eight dollys on the wall and of course I am greatly inspired. Looking at the black and white madonna the vendor instantly became interested in my mission. Soon we agreed on 70ies boogie so next week there will be a special collection only for me.

Spuyten Duyvil mail box

Fifties nostalgia


Just opposite of Fette Sau but oceans apart is Spuyten Duyvil. Bar and cafe with a very streamlined fifties interior. Great wines great beers but do try the ginger soda for some additional authentic feeling.

For the pork lover


Fette Sau reminds me so much of Delicatessen. Almost creepy but still warm and cosy. Dark and yellowish with rough interiors and brusque staff. Mainly meat and only pork is served straight on the tray and tastes great. In other words it's a must.

Walking the bridges


Recommending biking as the main transport in New York I still love walking for pleasure. Last Monday me and a friend strolled Williamsburg Bridge over to LES and SoHo. Shot some absolutely amazing photos and somehow this simple one became my favourite.

Some decent Thursday fashion

Part from peace - few things are as welcome as sustainable high fashion. Soft cmarchuska tees and jersey dresses apparel style without the fuzz. So pass by Vivons Vert Eco Fashion Show Thursday evening for a look. Swedish fashion appetizer ELSAandME. ____________________

Aurora in the morning






















Instead of waiting in line an hour for brunch at Egg - stroll a few blocks and have an amazing breakfast at Aurora. Supernice and pro staff. Truly recommend to share a Frittata and a French Toast.

The New Yorkers New York in Swedish


One of the main Swedish newspapers provide a guide to the New Yorkers New York. Although in Swedish it does give tips for strolling.

At the bus stop
