Last week I took a mini trip to Connecticut and New York and it was...well it was a welcome change. You could not ask for a bigger contrast to Grenada than New York City, its fast paced, its crowded, its loud and there is a lot happening at any given time within a 10 foot radius of you.
While I certainly enjoyed the experience of so much sensory stimulation at once, and being in such a dynamic place, I completely understood why people from the busy metropolis go on Caribbean vacations.
Here are a few images from my trip to NYC.

Chelsea Market in the Village
I thoroughly enjoyed this place, my favourite was the space with the booths where local artists and jewellery makers sold their unique creations. I bought some beautiful paintings and a dainty chain with the OM symbol |

What would this photo diary be without the New York City Cab. I actually took a cab and I did have an interesting driver who is originally from India and says he loves that New York City Stress...but he himself never actually feels stress. |

Wise Street Art observed from the NYC Highline " Love is the Answer" |

I had to make it to Strawberry Fields in Central Park to see the Imagine Sign. This part of the park is a homage to the late John Lennon |

Got off the train which claimed to stop at 42nd Street but somehow ended up at 40th Street. I always wanted to see the New York Times Building so this little mix up was welcome. Also, next to The New York Times is a really trendy place called Dean and Deluca where I had a yummy avocado roll and the best Chai Tea ever! |

The Majestic just off Time Square |

Brooklyn Bridge and Brooklyn in the Background |
