Fashion in New York City

Each and every person is looking forward to a warm Summer in New York City and across the East River which is Long Island City. Check out www.fashionmia.com

2019

My thoughts and prayers are for the people of New Zealand. I am especially sad as both my grandchildren were born in Auckland. Christchurch is home to a high school friend of mine with whom I grew up in Shillong, Meghalaya, India. I am sentimental and wear a kiwi charm that dangles from a black string around my neck that my older son and his family sent me from Auckland. Air New Zealand is one of my favorite airlines as well.

Happy New Year 2019

It's been a few years since we celebrated New Year's Eve on Time Square in New York City. Each time, in the past, we got lucky and enjoyed incredibly warm temperatures. This time I believe it was cold and rainy. I wanted to watch the countdown but I fell asleep and awoke at 1:10 a.m., so I was incredibly disappointed. If you're looking for a great and easy guide to experience New York City, you can obtain Frommer's "Easy Guide to New York City 2018." It contains all the information you will need to make your visit enjoyable. This book is easy to follow and is full of all the tips with regards to hotel accommodations, transportation, restaurants, sight seeing tours, etc. Those of you who are brave to conquer the cold, you may like NYC, this time of the year. As you may know, it's extremely easy to maneuver as you can catch trains, cabs, and for some of you, you can walk!!

Flew into Laguardia on Friday, 09/28/18

Late post: Tuesday 10/16/18 Uber picked me up; courtesy of my niece; then on to Long Island City and dropped off my luggage. I was to spend a week with her. We headed on to Fifth Avenue to check my skin at her office. It had been over two years since I was back in NY City. I was looking forward to attending the New Jersey (Miss India/New Jersey beauty pageant on 10/30/18); We drove via Uber to the pageant in Edison, NJ. It was a very exciting and entertaining event as my niece was a judge at the pageant. Cocktails was followed by dinner. I met very interesting people to include (when you read this post, you know who you are)!! Will post some pictures later.

A weekend in New York City

I have not been to New York City in two years and I miss it a lot; especially crossing the East River to Long Island City. Fly to New York City right now as the weather is perfect and flights are cheap. There is so much to do in New York City and in Long Island City, especially in May; eat at great restaurants while you're there. Breakfast at H & H Bagels on 639 W 46th Street at Westside Highway. Vist the Museum of Modern Art and look at Vincent Van Gogh's The Starry Night. Fly back from your weekend

Wishing everybody a Happy New Year - a tad late!!

At last, I am able find time to write a little post about my wonderful trip to Hurtsville Grove, NSW, Australia. I arrived at Kingsford Smith International Airport in Sydney on a Wednesday, January 24, 2018 (I had just turned age 73) during flight!! My flight was long but I was able to relax quite a bit!! My grand kids ages (17 and 12) received me at the airport!! Once again, I was very lucky to be able to enjoy my visit my son, his wife, and kids. We did some sightseeing of which I will post some photos soon.

It's Sunday in New York City

Reminiscing my many visits to NYC and Long Island City this morning. I loved walking along Lexington Avenue and pop into some cosmetic stores.

Enjoy; a gripping article

Fly now

This is a good time to start checking it out; ahead of Thanks Giving Day, ahead of Christmas, and of course ahead of New Year's Day; by the way, Times Square; my favorite spot in New York City is the place to be:

Queens

Many years ago, my actual stay was in Queens in 2004 and 2006. Queens is a significantly large area of multicultural diversity. It's a residence for immigrants that's very vibrant despite the havoc caused by Hurricane Sandy of October 29, 2012. My revisit in 2015 surprised me; Queens and areas affected by the storm had rebuilt to attract tourists from around the world. My last trip in the Summer of 2016 was across the East Rive to Long Island City. I took a walk, popping in to look into east Indian stores. As always, I'm always in need of small towels to wipe off dust and grime from skin when I get too hot and sweaty.

A typical Fall Day

I am missing Fifth Avenue, NYC; I'm imagining the Empire State Building looking down on me!! I walked many miles around this area each time I visited. I made sure I had good walking shoes on and lots of moisturizer on my face and skin: Give the gift of Organic Beauty. Gift sets at great value. No code needed.

Tenth Avenue Square

As you know, the urban High Line Park is an amazing transformation of the old railway tracks. I loved to take that long walk on The High Line. Many different planking building materials went into transforming concrete areas. And while I observed and enjoyed the beauty of the park, I would frequently apply lipstick to keep my lips moist:

Time to check out some cheap flights

I am planning to travel again in early January 2018; searching for flights that's reasonably inexpensive is a job in itself; won't hurt to check some flights on this folks:

Fall in the United States of America

It's officially Fall in America. I am looking forward to seeing the leaves turn yellow, gold, and then brown. Even though it means Winter is fast approaching, you've got to take care of your skin: I love using Baby Wipes to wipe off makeup and dirt from my skin, at the end of the day!!

Agave Nectar with British Breakfast Tea

Fall has officially arrived

Recently, my niece from Long Island City, sent me two boxes of the most wonderful Sweets of India. Whenever I travel to New York City, I make it a point to visit all the small spice and tea stores. I am also a chocolate lover; are you?

Missing Long Island City

It's been a year since I visited my niece in Long Island City, NY. I loved this place along the bank of the East River. I often took the ferry across it to Manhattan; a significant hike to Fifth Avenue; and on to Time Square. Here, out side Fresco's Cantina, Long Island City; enjoying a strawberry margarita - Summer 2015

The High Line Park - a must on your "do" list

When you are in New York City, The High Line Park. It's simply spectacular; it's off Gansevoort Street in the meat packing district of Greenwich Village. I thoroughly enjoyed the long walk in perfect sunshine. There were tourists galore. Flowers bloomed along the trail. Shops and restaurants along the way.

Fly to New York City

Flew from Indianapolis on American Airlines to New York City on Wednesday, 06/01/16. It was an early 6:10 a.m. flight; the pilot moved a few of us to the front (First Class) as he wanted the plane well-balanced !! Caught a cab from Laguardia to Long Island City; a 15-minute drive; took me more than 30 minutes as the driver had no clue; finally we got my cell phone Google Map; believe it or not; I just bought the phone so I had limited knowledge; expensive ride ! After seeing my niece, spent the day in Manhattan, then met up with my niece and friends for dinner at Union Square, "The Republic" for a Vietnamese dinner. The highlight of the dinner ? We were joined by my niece's friend, Bollywood film star, Padmini Kholapuri; a simply gorgeous woman; am trying to upload a picture; will have to try it later;

Have been sight seeing, eating at great restaurants; will post when I return to Indianapolis; am residing @ In Long Island City

Still a bit chilly in NYC
