Foodie

My travel cravings are for history, food and fresh air. My earliest travel memory is being given Legos by a flight attendant at age 4.

I would spend my perfect day in New York because it is New York! My most memorable moment here involved jazz, Woody Allen, and a crazy Swedish wedding reception. I would stay at The Carlyle when visiting New York.

The activities that can't be missed

1. Lincoln Center - Have a pre-theater dinner at Lincoln Ristorante, then see a show.

2. Gray's Papaya hot dogs - My secret shame.

3. SoHo Shopping - Alexander Wang, Isabel Marant, all the luxury stores, and Balthazar.
