My last full day in New York and you can guess how I spend it!
Obviously when I talk about shopping I mainly mean browsing, as New York is proving to be a very expensive place. I guess it's mainly Manhattan but I am continually shocked to see jewellery and clothes which would be priced at £20-40 in the UK selling here for the equivalent of £200.
Even Christmas trees, which I would expect to pay £30 or so for here, were selling on the street for the equivalent of £120. Very weird.
Anyway, this time we head to the Meat Packing District.
First brunch at The Fig & Olive and then onto a few shops for much trying on of out-of-my-price-range jewellery.
Then a walk along The High Line which is to be recommended simply for people watching and architecture admiring.
Lastly it's onto dinner and saying goodbye to Suzanne Golden who has been a fabulous host!
