Travel review: High Line, New York
Before we travelled to New York last summer, ‘future mom’, dad and I researched places to see. As we had all been to New York before, we were looking for newer attractions and the High Line kept popping up
Use the Force, dad!
“This is not the Malaysian you’re looking for”
One of the best known sayings from the Star Wars universe which has entered our popular culture alongside ‘Use the Force’ and ‘May the Force be with you’. It had even spawned the reason behind an annual Star Wars day (May the fourth) Continue reading
Travel review: Walking the Brooklyn Bridge
Brooklyn Bridge is one of New York’s iconic sights, connecting lower Manhattan to Brooklyn. The cable-stayed bridge spans the East river and the best tourist view is from South Street Seaport, where you can appreciate the beauty of the bridge
It opened in 1883 and the foundations of the bridge are so deep in the river that this was where the diving disease of the bends was first diagnosed in workers building the bridge. It has in the past carried trains and streetcars. However, today, it has 6 lanes of roadway and and elevated pedestrian and bicycle walkway suspended above the roadway Continue reading
Dad’s review of Smack Lobster Roll, Soho, London
Lobster roll is one of yummiest things if done right. While using a luxury ingredient, the beauty of the dish lies in its simplicity and bringing the simple harmony of a few ingredient into perfect union
Smack Lobster Roll is the little cousin of the Burger & Lobster chain where you can get a whole steamed lobster for £20. Can this restaurant bring the same successful formula of affordable lobster to a more fast food environment? See dad what thought of Smack Lobster Roll here

Travel review: New York Penn Station
New York Penn station was my and dad’s first introduction to Manhattan on our first visit to the Big Apple. To keep costs down, we stayed at a hotel near Newark Airport and took the New Jersey transit train to Penn station, a 25 minute journey
Firstly, to my non-USA readers, this station is huge, occupying several city blocks and spread over several floors. It can be hard to get your orientation as to which exit to head for but its bounded by 7th Ave to the east, 8th Ave to the west, 31st St to the south and 33rd street to the north. The signposting is generally good within the station though dad and I found that the odd route to some subway lines does suddenly disappear
Next fact to note is that the whole station is underground, so you won’t be able to spot it by any grand external facade. However, sitting on top of it is iconic Madison Square Gardens, so just aim for that instead Continue reading

Travel Review: New York, the Big Apple
I’m continuing my review of my holiday with dad and ‘future mom’ to the USA last summer. After starting in New Jersey, we headed up to New York for a few days
We were all veterans of the Big Apple (interesting article here as to how it acquired that name) but wanted to see a few of the new attractions like the Freedom Tower Observatory and Highline as well as allowing dad to share some of his favourite food with ‘future mom’ as it was their first visit together
