Florence’s adventures in New YorkFlorence’s New York video – Interview withe George Clooney
During her stay in New York, Florence was lucky enough to meet George Clooney, who unfortunately wasn’t much help with shopping ideas but did invite her for a coffee…We love George! (Discover all Florence’s videos in “Florence’s Extras”) Too Heavy!
Then off I went to the airport, sat in my cab, window down and hair blowing in the wind, bye bye New York… oh New York! A West Village Creation!West Village is one of my favourite places in Manhattan, which is just a little further down than the famous Time Square! On Bleeker Street all you find is shops, shops and more shops! So you can imagine I was very happy!

As a reporter shopping here in NYC, I just HAD to tell you about this shop, here you can find anything from leopard print leggings, a “I’ll kick your ass” hat and everything perfect for creating your new look! Read more The little treasures of East Village and Nolita
Nolita and East Village are two areas in the south east of Manhattan, right next to each other so very easy to walk between. It was very trendy, some years ago, to live in East Village, but today other neighbourhoods have become “the most fashionable places to live”. Read more New York !

Marc Jacobs has his headquarters there. Here you find Marc by Marc Jacobs where there is line of accessories signed by the famous stylist which are actually quite affordable and Little Marc Jacobs (at number 382, see photo) on the same road which is for children. There is also Ralph Lauren, some smaller designers, some cheaper shops and even a delicious bakery, where you can taste or gobble up the famous cupcakes and fresh melt in the mouth chocolate cheesecakes or refreshing lemon cheesecakes, perfect for a summer’s day. It is a shop to remember as it is without doubt the best in the area… maybe even the best in Manhattan? (I think I have decided; next best job: to discover the best pastries and culinary specialities…)
Now I am a great fan of the 70s, it is here that I discovered a new, very hippy, style, even though I was not born until 10 years later…but even in LA , the hippies greeted me with “sista” with a “peace” sign as an indication of recognition between “brothers”! Yeah man!
Brooklyn has the same kind of underground atmosphere that I felt in Berlin and London: an artistic ambiance and a quieter more calm vibe than Manhattan, the energy that you feel here is simply not the same… but I still love both places! Here it is less busy, there are less tourists. All in all a more peaceful life for those who like that kind of thing!
If you have ever dreamt of playing Carrie Bradshaw in NYC and wearing the famous “Flower Dress” then Patricia Field’s shop is the place for you. She is the stylist to thank for all the amazing clothes in the series (and also for some other famous films like “The Devil Wears Prada” and “Ugly Betty”).
I have really enjoyed walking around this cool hippie area, discovering the cool little shops instead of walking along the commercial streets of Soho, which are a lot more touristy and only two steps away from here.
