Other Places to Visit

Century 21:

Situated in Tribeca, this is a discount department store on a MASSIVE scale. It houses many designer names at very cheap prices so expect at scrap for the last Marc Jacobs dress! As the website says "it's fashion worth fighting for", this could mean litteraly too!

Directly opposite Century 21 is the Ground Zero site, which has always been a place I have wanted to visit ever since 9/11.


The Coffee Shop:

This is situated in Union Square, and it seems like from the reviews that it is a place to be visited. Even though some reviews don't give it the best repuatation, it seems like it is still worth a visit. At night time it turns into a bar, with late night DJ's and you can go there if under 21. It sounds perfect!

PS1:

This is the largest institution in the U.S dedicated solely to contemporary art.

Ice Skating in Central Park:

If I get chance to, I definitely want to go ice skating in Central Park. It's such a wintery thing to do, and with the backdrop of the New York sky scrapers behind us it will be the perfect setting.

East Village:


This was the base of the beatnicks in the 1950s, and the neighbourhood had become a centre of counterculture. Other artistic movements that happended here was that of punk rock too. It is now known for it's diverse community, vibrant nightlife and artistic sensibility. I am definitely up for a night out here, it reminds me of the Camden town of London!
