New York, New York...

Which city in the world deserves as many "love songs" as New York does??? Well, if you really know New York you have to say NONE!!! Sinatra, Madonna, KISS, Bob Dylan, Echo & the Bunnymen , Ramones, Caetano Veloso, Elton John, Norah Jones, Sex Pistols, Jay-Z - and I could continue on and on and on... - all have shared their love to this fantastic city. What I though to do in this post was to show off my love for New York by putting together some of these songs creating, somewhat a mixed love letter to this amazing city!!! SPREAD the love... And why not sing it too???

New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of

There is nothing you can't do

Now you're in New York

These streets will make you feel brand new

Big lights will inspire you

No place in the world that could compare

New York City

Such a beautiful disease

New York City

Such a beautiful,

Such a beautiful disease

No other city ever made me glad except New York

I love New York

And If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere

It’s up to you - New York, New York

(Norah Jones) (Jay-Z and Alicia Keys) (Sinatra) (Madonna)


 

OUTLET/DISCOUNT STORE IN MANHATTAN

They say Century 21 is NYC's Best Kept Secret so: shhhh! Keep it to yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite discount store - if not my favorite store AT ALL - in NYC is Century 21.
Century 21 is a Department store that sells lots and lots of brands with (BIG) discounts. You can find from Calvin Klein to Diesel jeans, luggage, bags, house stuff, ties, sunglasses, baby clothes, etc… It’s an entire department store with discounts all over the year! And you do not have to exit Manhattan to get that!!!
The selection of items varies a lot depending on their stock. I’ve always found Friday the best day to go – I think that it is the day they get most of the stuff…
The store opens early – so I advise you to go early to get the best stuff and all the sizes.
Here is the location:
22 Cortland St. (right in front Ground Zero)
How to get there:
You can take the following trains to get to Century 21:

A Century é minha loja de descontos preferida de NY - senão a minha loja número 1 em NYC!!!!!!

Ela é uma loja de departamentos que vende muitas e muitas coisas e marcas com descontos ENORMES. Lá você pode encontrar de um jeans Calvin Klein a um Diesel, malas, bolsas, coisas para casa, gravatas, óculos de sol, roupas de bebê etc... É uma loja de departamentos com desconto o ano inteiro!!!

O que você vai encontrar lá vai variar bastante de dia para dia, dependendo do estoque. Eu sempre achei Sexta-feira o melhor dia para ir – acho que é o dia que eles recebem a maioria das mercadorias...
A loja abre cedo – então eu sugiro ir bem cedinho para pegar as melhores coisas com todas as disponibilidade de tamanho etc...
