CURIOUSER NEW YORK

NYC hasn't been known to be very family friendly EVER. It's the city for young, ambitious, single people from around the world to come to pursue a career and enjoy the many entertainment perks of the city. However, in the last few years, the city has been warming up to the idea that not everyone wants to move to New Jersey or Connecticut to have a family. So, the city has been trying to accommodate those New Yorkers who do NOT want to leave Manhattan, who still want to enjoy the city but be able to have a family too. One of such neighborhoods is - the Battery Park City where we now reside. One morning I decided to check it out from a perspective of a feature parent-to-be...

Sometimes a working gal has to do it all!

Day Two of the America's Cup 2016 was all that expected and more. Canceling the race yesterday, May 7, due to the lack of proper wind - (see the video from Day 1  here ), put the race at double stake for the next day. As a result, today, May 8th, 2016 - there were three races between the six teams that took part in the America's Cup 2016 in New York City: Oracle Team USA, Soft Bank Team Japan, Groupama Team France, Emirates Team New Zealand,  Land Rover Bar (UK) and  Team Artemis (Sweden). Today the wind (and the sun) was just about right. Watch the video to find out the winner of the America's Cup! See you in Bahamas next year?!

This year The America's Cup 2016 is taking place in New York City on Hudson and the American fans of this infamous sailing race couldn't be happier to see it in their home town this weekend. However, after days of preparations and excitement built up leading up to the race, the first day hasn't gone as planned. After two hours six teams cruised around the river, the race has been cancelled due to the lack of proper wind conditions.

The American Cup 2016 preparations are taking over the downtown of Manhattan right now! This weekend, the famous sailing race is coming to Hudson River and will take in Battery Park City May 7-8th. Don’t miss it. I was there yesterday to witness all the preparations and the excitement was already in the air! People were stopping by to take pictures and videos. You’ll see one french group that got especially excited about seeing one particular yacht on a billboard picture and wanted to take picture of it (I’m assuming it was a yacht of some French sailing team...)  Anyway, mark your calendars and I’ll see you there!

Ever wondered what water sports one can do in the middle of Manhattan? Guess no more, New Yorkers are taking advantage of Hudson River and now you can see them do paddling, jet skiing, kayaking and yachting! And they don't even want to wait for the summer, some of the New Yorkers opened the jet ski season last weekend!

For me, America always meant New York City. I associated everything 'American' with New York City - skyscrapers, wall street, broadway, times square... What is America for you? The nail color featured in the video is Big Apple Red by Opi - a perfect shade of red!
