New York City - Centre of the Universe!

Honey, I'm home! After a crazy last couple of weeks in Sydney,  I made it back to the Big Apple! Crab House was such a great success - so many wonderful people came, and it was such a joy to bring to show to Sydney. Thank you so much to everyone who came! I arrived into JFK, and hit the ground running. So many to do, in only seven days! Here's some photographic evidence of a really wonderful week!

My two beautiful friends, Linnea and Johan, and I, having a vegan feast. I had just been to the most incredible Meisner Technique class with Linnea - it was unreal!

Another one of my best friends, Jenna, also carved out some time to hang, at one of my favourite places: Alice's Tea Cup!

We really know how to pack it all in. Not only did we catch up, but Jenna saved some wildlife from the torrential flooding that was happening outside. No big deal.

I caught up with fellow Aussie (and the very handsome) Damien. We had a wonderful wander around the MOMA (Museum of Modern Art):

This absolutely made us crack up. It was totally asking for it! Art, for sure!

Salvador Dali is my favourite artist of all time. The Persistence of Memory is NEVER
at the MOMA when I'm in New York! Never!

Damien and I also saw Alan Cumming's Macbeth. Oh. Wow. Absolutely fantastic show!!

Sneaky shot inside the theatre!

I was so grateful that I got to spend so much time with Linnea. We been hard and fast friends, ever since Crab House - A New Musical (Linnea was the original Amy). Linnea is quite the amazing baker, so she taught me how to make Swedish cinnamon buns! Läcker!!

That's some bad ass baking going on right there!

Yes. They were delicious! :)

I returned the favour, with my favourite dish to make - stuffed peppers! 

They must have been ok!

Spending time in the city, at this time of year, is an absolute treat. The weather is perfect (20C/ 68F), people are defrosting (from this year's especially long winter!), and the city is truly brimming with excitement. 

Strolling around the West Village. What a privilege.

Photos will never do it justice.

And THEN, the most resplendent Renata. What a joy it is to see her!

She drew me like one of her French girls.

Exploring Brooklyn is something I haven't done nearly enough of.

Absolutely no filter. What a divine view!

And then there's this. This pretty much sums it all up. 

I had such a wonderful week! So many wonderful friends, things to see, places to fall in love with. No matter how many times you go - heck, even after living here, I still haven't even come close to making a dent in the city! I just can't wait to get back!! :)
