So we flew out to New York last Monday (29th December) which also happened to be my birthday. We got to Heathrow airport very early in the morning and once we got through security and bag drop we didn't have much time to spare so while we were waiting for our breakfast to arrive I quickly ran off to Duty Free to get my favourite perfume YSL Black Opium which smells absolutely divine. Once we had our breakfast we had to sprint to our boarding gate as we were running pretty late... don't worry this isn't unusual for us.
Nicest smelling perfume, ever!
We arrived in New Jersey at about 2'o clock and took the hour drive to New York City. It was lovely to drive around the city before getting to our hotel as our taxi driver was absolutely lovely and pointed everything out to us. Although this was my second time in the city it's nice to be reminded of places. We drove past The New York Times building... dream job! Which was slightly insane for me to see it for real.

We then arrived at out hotel Courtyard Marriott which was on 3rd & 52nd. It was about a 20 minute walk from Times Square. On our first night we went for a walk around the City and for the first time walked through 5th Avenue, which if you aren't familiar it is where all of the designer shops are... heaven.
Always time for a birthday selfie
Although surprisingly we couldn't find anywhere to eat so we went to TGI Fridays... which is hilarious considering we probably walked past hundreds of restaurants... oh well!
That was it for my birthday & first evening in New York I look forward to sharing the rest of the week in the upcoming weeks.
