I know I know I am terrible at doing some of my scheduled things. Unfortunately, this is one of those things of mine that I have to reschedule over and over. Of course, I am talking about my video series “Coffee Talks with Newest Yorkers” which is supposed to be in every two months. Because of terrible weathers, messy schedules of New Yorkers that I want to chat with and…
There is Something Wicked About New York
December 16, 2016I don’t know who is the craziest? me or New York weather? Even though the light of my photos is great, It was a very cold day when we did this shoot. New York is insanely cold since last week and getting colder and colder. I’m even ok with 0 Celsius now as a born and raised Mediterranean. In fact, I’m always cold even in winter of Mediterranean. Then…
Fazil Say is my favorite classical music virtuoso. He is one the biggest artists in his time. Because he is not only a performer but also a composer. Can you imagine that he composed his first piano sonata when he was 14 years old? I barely started to write my first stories, at that age, lol. Such a talent. It is such a privilege to have him in…
I lived in Williamsburg for a year and I never need to go coffee shops like I do right now. And I haven’t thought of writing about best Williamsburg coffee shops. I used to live in this building that has so many space and amenities with a beautiful East River view. Fatih used to push me to go somewhere in the neighborhood all the time. I refused to go…
Coffee Talks with Newest Yorkers: Melissa A. Martin
November 27, 2016I finally complete my new Newest Yorker interview. I promise to do this videos every month but I was so busy during October and Arriana was so busy for November and I was kind of being lazy to pursue one of my friends to do this coffee talks with me. I was being late to do this video but I find the perfect Newest Yorker. 2nd episode’s guest…
Finally, I decided to write coffee shops in Greenpoint. I moved to this neighborhood last September. Since then I am all around the place. But first I want to talk about the history of me and coffee. I love to try new places, especially new coffee shops. I have to admit when I first come to New York, I couldn’t go any other places than Starbucks. It is embarrassing…
Today’s look is from East Village. I love to show you around in New York, I feel like you are browsing the city with me. It always fun to go a place and meet an acquaintance from the city to show you around just for a couple of hours. I think this is what I do with my New York Guide for a while. I am so excited about this look.…
Central Park is probably my favorite place above all. It is another universe in the middle of chaotic New York. I was one of those lucky people who live close enough to run in the park every morning. Those were the pretties 3 year in UES. (Check rest of New York Guide Posts) I realized that New Yorkers are really proud of Central Park. Perhaps this is one…
I did this photo shooting with my brother to show casing “business look”. I’m acting as fashion magazine editor in a very busy fashion week. 🙂 I bought this Prada skirt last year from one of my Woodbury visit. And the Prada shoes are from my famous ebay hunting session. These shoes were very iconic during 2013 Fashion Weeks and me as poor (financially) blogger couldn’t afford them…
I was thinking about starting this video series for a long time. I attempt to do by myself months ago for the first time. It was kind of disaster in terms of my editing and camera skills. When I was lucky enough to find Arriana, I was so excited about finally doing my youtube videos. These are the questions that everyone asks; “How to Make it in America?, How…
I am living in the city for 5 years now and Central Park is my the most favorite place in the city. The idea of writing about this list occurred to me after this photo shooting we did at Central Park with my brother last spring. I wanted to show him some hidden places other than famous places highly promoted in most of the Hollywood movies. So I…
