We really got lucky with our accommodation. We’re staying with a lovely local, we have air-conditioning and the apartment is located in the Lower East Side right near Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown. We realised Soho warranted some further investigation and boy did it pay off. Cafe Gitane on Mott Street is our new favourite lunch spot. Best couscous ever and hibiscus iced tea was a revelation. Fantastic shoe shops, fun clothes shops and a great little art and photography book shop.
Times Square. Whoa. It was so bright we needed shades.
