My dear Célinette arrived in New York a few days ago. She always has good plans, and she’s the one who told me I should go take a look at Dyker Heights Christmas Illuminations in Brooklyn (her article here). The least you could say is it’s really worth the trip!

As she had told me, the people in the neighborhood try to outdo each other by decorating their houses in the most creative or kitsch manner. And that’s how this middle-class suburb turns into a magical amusement park for kids… and for grown-ups! All the houses are covered with … READ MORE

ça fait un peu plus de 3 mois maintenant… j’aurais pris mon temps pour vous l’annoncer !

Vous vous souvenez, quand, au mois de juin, je suis partie quelques jours à New York avec mon chéri ?

Le dimanche matin, nous sommes partis de Bushwick aux aurores direction Coney Island, un des endroits que j’avais préféré lors de notre premier séjour à New York il

endroit…
