GREENWICH VILLAGE


Greenwich village was probably my favourite area of New York that I visited. It was to me how imagined America to be, it's just like when you watch a childhood film and what you see now, watching it, is not what you thought you remembered. This is the opposite, I had a picture in my head and this matched it perfectly, it was like Déjà vu. As we walked out of the metro I saw in front of me a huge HSBC bank!, well they says its the worlds local bank. Walking around the corner I saw S'nice, the coffee shop, as mentioned earlier. And further down was the most amazing magazine shop 'Casa Magazines' it was incredible, every magazine you could ever want? they have it. 


Walking further down the road we came across another of my pre-newyork post locations. Magnolia Bakery, it wasn't how I imagined if i'm honest, the store looked very dated, but it looked real, and that's why I like it. No corporate branding or over exaggeration like the kind i saw in Times Square. The smell was out of this world.
