Three Things I Love About My Favourite City

ByLisa Jayne
Anyone who knows me will know that I’m obsessed with New York, completely and utterly obsessed. For as long as I can remember I’ve been in love with the city, and I was so happy when I visited my favourite city in 2009. I remember planning my trip in amazing detail, especially as I was only there for a few days! Despite my trip now being 6 years ago (sob), and being a rather short visit, I still found many things I love about the city and I thought I’d share a few of my favourites.








The Empire State Building


The Empire State Building is an iconic part of the Manhattan sky line, standing out from most of the buildings. While I was in New York I enjoyed seeing it light up at night, once being bright blue when the Yankees won. I planned to go to the top of the Empire State but I ran out of time, but I did get the chance to go to the Rockefeller where I got a great view of the Empire State, and took this photo!


 






The Statue Of Liberty


Another iconic landmark is the Statue of Liberty situated on Ellis Island. Despite being a huge New York fan I only recently found out that it was originally from France.. I’ve never been good at history. I thought Lady Liberty looked beautiful as I sailed past her on the Hudson river, and luckily we picked a lovely clear day to do so!


 






The Yellow Taxis 


I loved seeing the yellow taxi’s everywhere in New York, but as they can be rather pricey I only used one to get back to the airport on my last day. I thought they added a great splash of colour to the city, and they made me feel rather cheerful, so I spent hours photographing them. I loved them so much that I edited this photo of them, and made it into a canvas hanging above my bed so I remind myself of my favourite city everyday.




I like reminding myself why I love New York, filling my room with photos of the city, and I even seem to always watch TV shows based in the city. I’m planning on saving up so I can visit again one day, but I’m the worst person at saving money so you can probably guess how that’s going…

    Christmas time can be quite stressful. I know I’m certainly starting to feel stressed out. Have I bought everyone a present? Is there enough wrapping paper? What if I run out of tags? Do I have enough sellotape? Will everyone like their presents?!?! Not only that but I’m driving up north to my other halves parents…

    Since we’ve adopted our deaf cat Jeff, we’ve pretty much spoilt him rotten. Since I found out he had a sad past I’ve felt bad for him, and want to show him that he’s loved and wanted. This means we like to make sure he’s got plenty of toys, gets loads of fuss, and the…

    A while ago now a friend of mine introduced me to bingo. We were looking for a way to do something different when we met up, but would still be rather cheap as we were both on budgets. We usually used to spend hours nursing pints in our local pub, but things were getting a…

    A Mystery

    A few days ago I saw a tweet a few days ago involving a mystery that needs to be cracked. From this Tumblr account it seems to suggest something is invading cities like Tokyo and New York. A photo shows something large and purple but the photos aren’t very clear. I have no idea what it could be, but it’s a…
