New York is fabulous! Driving from the airport was so amazing, it was like the opening of every Jennifer Anniston film ever. In fact, everything is like being on the set of a film. Sitting in the late afternoon sun in Central Park yesterday I kept expecting Serena van der Woodsen strolling through.
And when we drove over Brooklyn Bridge the city just hit us, just how the credits always make it look.
We went to Times Square last night and it's insane. It's such an assault on the senses I couldn't really take it all in... The smells and the lights and the noise and all the millions of people and the traffic and... Not even being born and raised a London girl can compare you for this.
At the moment we're staying in this really cool part of town in Upper West side - lots of boys in caps, card games outside apartment blocks and old people Spanish dancing in the street (all in the stifling night heat).
We've semi worked out the subway (which is way more complex than it looks!) but the whole street/avenue system is amazing; you can literally never get lost! I'm about to go and do a trial of my subway ride to Hurst Tower for tomorrow (eek!!) and then we'll do an open top bus tour (spiritual home, obvs).
I'm so excited to get out and going, so for now, that's all folks!
'Have a nice day'
Amazing!! Certainly beats a standard night out in Chiswick. Just hope the film it most resembles tomorrow is NOT The Devil Wears Prada! Soooo jealous....
