New York, New York

So, two months ago I had the privilege to turn 20 in the most exciting city of the world.

I'm sure you already know all about New York, either because you went yourself or because you're a fellow "Sex and the City" and "Gossip Girl" fan like myself *don't judge me, classics are classics *. I've never met someone who went home disappointed, and I was no exception. This city is totally overwhelming with its never-ending buildings, its thousands of yellow cabs, and its variety of sights...oh and its food. Do I even need to talk about New yorker shops ? Think of Oxford Street as a city and so much cheaper - God, my heart was so broken when coming back home to European shops. No need to say that damages were done...sorry not sorry.

The U.S, aka drugstore heaven (alright, Sephora heaven, too)

'Gotta love burgers eh? Last bite of heaven in Newark Airport

A good friend of mine (thanks, Athena!) recommended me the Tao and oh Lord, this one goes right up on the top of the list ! Best Asian restaurant ever - take me back?

Also, I went a bit crazy on Instagram (Vicky9469)

The highlight of our trip ? We got to see my well-missed cousin Marc, who's been a New yorker for quite some time now, hence the lack of opportunities to hang out. He met us for lunch on my birthday (I was a "IHop" virgin, let me tell you that one was unforgettable - American honey mustard, I love you dearly). He also invited us to an event, a Tango class in a cosy bar - we don't get to see that in Europe, do we ? I was amazed, the atmosphere, the people and damn, the Tango moves - very "Shall we dance". I was so proud of my cousin, as I didn't really get the chance to grow up with him, it's a totally different person I met in that IHop restaurant in Union Square, a grown-up handsome man who has some serious talents that I'd never had suspected!

The bar is called "Milonga Loca" if you're interested, I highly recommend it, their burgers and cocktails are to die for - and if you fancy a unique Tango experience, don't miss their Thursday lesson!

Thank you, New York - you were magical. I hope we'll meet again someday.
