Friday was all about the Village and Soho. The Village in my opinion has to be the most romantic part of New York, with tones of tiny streets and brownstone apartments that I wish I could one day live in. My first stop was Washington Square Park. This little park has such a fun atmosphere where people are playing music or chess, taking their pictures in front of the fountain or making chalk art on the pavements. It’s definitely the place to sit down for a few minutes and people watch. In the area Perry Street is my favourite little street without no doub. It boasts the most beautiful townhouses with pretty doors and is also close to Magnolia Bakery: the cupcakes are so tasty and the decor is so cute. In the afternoon I went to Soho, the prime shopping and dining territory. Now that its impeccably preserved cast-iron fire escapes and industrial facades showcase the wares of Chanel, Prada and numerous less exalted brands, the area south of Houston Street is a far cry from the hardscrabble manufacturing zone that once earned the derisive nickname Hell’s Hundred Acres. But Soho isn’t just a mere urban shopping mall: though many of the art galleries that made Soho New York's contemporary art hot spot in the 1970s and ’80s decamped to Chelsea and the Lower East Side, some excellent art spaces remain. Walking along the cobblestone streets I found great restaurants, bars and things to do in this downtown neighborhood for the evening. It was such a great day and I definitely had a lot of fun.
