Here's to you New York, New York
Saturday: brunch at Cafe Gitane, Nolita.
I love it when the day starts with rose champagne and chorizo baked eggs.
And then you go shopping.
Utterly amazing. I love your food, your mood and your style New York.
HAPPY PLACE: defined.
Central Park.
Just a few weeks too early for colour. But beautiful all the same.
And good for a quiet little nap as it turns out.
Hans Christian Anderson tells a good bedtime story.
Home to the gorgeous Bryant Park Hotel.
So Fashion District.
The big Gothic building in all its amazeballs glory -
that's where the blondes laid down their retail-wearied locks.
It doesn't sleep.

Havana finale
The Tropicana girls.
Must have been amazing here in the 50s and 60s.
Currently my favourite photo (below).
A fluke to have seen this votive sitting on a doorstop in the middle of Old Havana.
Sunset light was pretty great.
Some street scenes and whatnot.
The guy and the dog - very strange.
They acted out little vignettes like this 'security dog' thing.
And no I didn't give them money.
Love a good cemetery.
Final night dinner at this incredible place.
Crumbling staircase to climb to get there
but magical spot when you got there and amazing food.
So long Cuba.
