Food Glorious Food

The problem with travelling is there are so many great new restaurants to be discovered. Who am I to say no? Here are a few of my favourites from my recent NYC buying trip: Fika for coffee. I didn’t go near a Starbucks while in NYC – highly unusual. As soon as @sam_bottega and I...

Monika’s NYC Apartment

My Dream Car

My Dream Car

Every time someone asks me what kind of car I want I say a vintage Mercedes Gullwing – they make my heart race, and at around £200,000 they make Bobby Dazzler’s heart race too.  They’re beautiful, classic, slightly unattainable (!), and largely found living in LA.  Ideal really.  Silver, with red leather interior please.
