manhattan was snowing on me

Loved seeing the snow sitting on top of the branches!

OH MANHATTAN! I've finally finished off the second installment of my New York photos. I still can't believe I was there just over a month ago! Seeing New York in all it's snowy-wintery-goodness was magical. And having seen New York in the height of summer only six months prior it was amazing to see the transformation. To me... it's the most amazing place on earth. There is an undeniable buzz - an energy that gets stuck in your veins.

On the day I took these photos it was my last day in New York. We woke to see it was quite hazy and snowy and I actually was worried thinking it wasn't good 'photography' conditions but how I was wrong - I love the naked trees with buildings fading off into the distance. So magical.

If you didn't see the first installment of my photos, check out the Brooklyn edition here.

The Flat Iron building is a must-see!

I popped into the Marimekko New York store which was like a warm and bright-coloured haven from the cold outside! How I miss my Marimekko Melbourne girls. The boss here in New York said I had a job if I wanted one...

Madewell - one of my fav clothing shops

My favourite building in Manhattan has to be the Chrysler building. It is an amazing testament to Art Deco - here is the lobby. Stunning. (It's almost impossible to photograph the building itself as all the building around it are so tall!)

Inside the Chrysler building - the lobby ceiling.

Grand Central Station. Another must-see in New York. 

The ceiling of the station is a massive painting of the constellations.  

Taking pictures of the snow falling. I was in love.

The New York Public Library - another must-see.

The Reading Room was spectacular... Ghost Busters anyone?

I then headed to Central Park which was just so beautiful covered in snow. I didn't stay long because my nose and fingers were starting to freeze!!

I think one of my favourite things about Central Park is being able to view the city from afar - the buildings towering over are so beautiful. 

I finished the day with a trip to Lombardi's pizza in Soho. Basically the best pizza EVER!!! I ordered the margarita and finished all but one slice... I think I did pretty well!

After the pizza I stopped off at The Little Cupcake Bakeshop for the most delicious cupcakes I've ever tasted. I visited this place THREE TIMES last time I was in New York! Do yourself a favour and order the 'Dreaming Princess'. It's as fluffy and sweet as it sounds. 

Not the best photo but just had to include it - this was my last glimse of Manhattan before disappearing underground to the subway. My favourite the beautiful Chrysler building was just popping out to say goodbye.

Thank you again little Jessie for taking care of us. How lucky are you... you LIVE here!!
