On my quest to discover the best spots New York has to offer I found a lot of cool surf shops. Like this legend called Saturdays Surf in Soho. You know I just wrote about their latest one in Tokyo (and news: they are gonna open a new one on the Lower East Side soon). Saturdays Surf is only for men, but the coolest species on earth.

I’m back from a 6 day trip to New York City (and enjoying a massive jetlag at the moment). Together with my boyfriend we celebrated my 30th birthday in the best hotels New York has to offer (The Nolitan, Americano Hotel and the Ace Hotel). I’ve been to all the spots on Petite Passport (and many more), to make sure you get the best advice before you go. Sometimes spots do seem beautiful on the pictures, but when you’re there it’s not that special. And other things you don’t know much about, can be fantastic. I will recommend you Read more…
