Little Italy New York City

by Tazim Damji

new york little italy

Manhattan's Little Italy runs from about Canal Street to Spring Street down Mulberry Street. Last September, Greg and I walked through Little Italy one day while we were in the area. Luckily for us, there was some kind of festival going on and the streets were filled with people celebrating all that is Italy. Street food, music and markets lined the streets as people sat enjoying their food and drinks. Unfortunately, with so little time to see the city as we had, we didn't have much chance to ...

Metropolitan Museum of Art Interior Manhattan New York

by Tazim Damji

inside met

Last September, Greg and I spent a week in New York City, mostly checking out the museums and vegan restaurants. One of my favourite museums we visited was the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's too bad that we ended up having to visit so many places in one day—we didn't get to spend enough time at the MET.  ...

CB2 Store in Soho Manhattan New York

by Tazim Damji

cb2

One of the best things about spending time in a big city like New York is checking out the furniture and home décor shops. CB2, the little sister shop of Crate and Barrel, has a lot of furniture and accessories that I could see in my own home.  ...

Nintendo World Store Tour in New York City

by Tazim Damji

nintendo belts

More than just a place to buy things, the Nintendo World store in New York City is a place to check out the latest games and devices from Nintendo—and to try them out, too. I imagine this store is really packed and buzzing with excitement whenever there's a new release. The first floor is where the cashiers are, and some merchandise plus 3DS and other DS consoles are available to demo. The top floor has several big tvs that people can play Wii games on, and several other smaller tvs available ...

Top of the Rock—Rockefeller Center New York City

by Tazim Damji

top of the rock

The Top of the Rock observation deck is reached via an elevator from the visitor area/entrance. The building entrance (both outside and inside) are spectacular. Even if I had been waiting a while, I don't think I would have minded. This is the observation deck (don't you love the architecture?): ...

Wolf Home New York City—The Good Wife Inspired Bedding Sets

by Tazim Damji

I was walking around in New York, on my way to the Empire State Building, and there it was—near the famous Flatiron Building—a poster of the character Kalinda from The Good Wife show. Of course, this was back in September before the new season had started. The window displays really made me want to decorate my home in their lush, exquisite fabrics and furniture. Always on the lookout for home décor shops, I was pleased to come across Wolf Home, especially because they'd displayed bedding sets ...

Broadway Panhandler Kitchen Shop—New York City Travel

by Tazim Damji

There are certain places that I always try to find when going on vacation—museums, art galleries, vegan restaurants. . .and kitchen shops! One kitchen shop that kept coming up in searches for New York City is the Broadway Panhandler, located near NYU and Washington Square Park. The store is a good sized kitchen shop, with lots of room for various brands of pots, a nice selection of Bodum kitchenware, storage containers (the ones with the red tops are really great), and kitchen ...

DK Eyewitness NY iPad App Review

by Tazim Damji

When you're travelling to more than one destination at a time, you really need to think about limiting the number of items you pack that will only be used for part of the trip. One thing that comes to mind is a travel guide used for just one destination of many. On our most recent trip to this USA, Greg and I went to 7 different states and over 12 different cities. Can you imagine how heavy and huge our suitcases would have been if we'd taken travel guides with us for each of those? It is ...

Notes From The Road Eastern USA Travel

by Tazim Damji

It's hard to believe that we'll be heading back to Canada next week—to our new/old home in Calgary. Our stuff won't arrive until early October, from Vancouver, so we'll be living out of suitcases for a while longer! This month of travel has been amazing, but I look forward to seeing my family and digesting everything we've seen and experienced. I have a lot to share with you, since we visited so many places—but we aren't done yet! We will be spending 5 days in New York, staying in a sublet in ...

New York DK Eyewitness Travel Book Review

by Tazim Damji

With a city so massive—and massively interesting—like New York, where do you start when planning a trip? So many books, movies and tv shows have been made about New York that everything gets all confused in my mind, and I just can't get a handle on what the city is really about. The DK Eyewitness travel book dedicated to this city has helped me with my travel planning immensely, because of all the great photos and detailed maps. ...
