These Brownstone Lanes of New York remind us of our college days. 🤗
.
When we were planning our recent visit to NY, visiting West Village was on top of our list. It is not only a hip & happening neighborhood with many lively bars and restaurants around, but also has some classic architecture worth checking out. 📸🌟 #mysecretnyc .
We remember the summer of 2014 when we were interning in NY and this was our humble abode at that time. .
The young and stupid college-goers that we were, we used to be late for work every morning, rushing to catch the subway. 😂
.
But even during that frenzy, every so often we’d get a “good morning dear”, “have a good day” from strangers walking by. THIS is our New York. 🤗
.
Even though from the outside it might seem like a city that’s always on the run, but the city really does care. ❤️
.
What’s a college memory that you’d like to share? 😉
What time do you think we must have reached the bridge? 🙈
.
So you guys, continuing our love for New York bridges, Brooklyn Bridge is definitely one of the most iconic attractions in NY. 🤩
.
With so many famous movie scenes shot around the bridge, it surely lures a lot of tourists throughout the day all year round. 💁🏻♀️
.
We were there at the bridge by 6 am and even through we were able to beat the touristy crowds, there were still so many bikers and joggers all around. I guess it’s just impossible to get one of the most romantic spots in the city to yourself, huh! 🤷🏻♂️
.
But still it was so much better than the stampede we’ve seen during later hours of the day. 😳
.
And oh did we tell you how windy it always is on the bridge?! We almost froze to death because of the wind chill. 😅
.
But in the end it was all worth it because this city is WORTH IT. 💖💎

What all Wonders of the World have you seen till now? 😍😲
.
We aim to see all the Wonders of the World before we’re 30! 😁🙈

We tried reaching Chichen Itza around 8 am which meant starting our 2 hour long drive from Cancun at 6, but as you can see in the picture, some places are always crowded. I guess the crowd beat us by just a few minutes. 😂
.
Anyway, with Chichen Itza began the journey of our this very travel goal.
.
Since then, we’ve ticked off the Taj Mahal as well. 👻💜🧡
.
While Chichen Itza being the top attraction for us in Cancun, it surely had a lot of other fun activities to do as well.
.
Our new blog post about some incredibly fun things to do in Cancun is live today. Link in bio. Go check out now! 😃
Do you know what DUMBO stands for? 😜
.
One of the most photographed spots of New York these days is definitely this beautiful street in DUMBO, Brooklyn. 📸🌃
.
Funnily though, throughout our 2 years in the city, we had never visited this place. We visited the Brooklyn Bridge, even the Brooklyn Bridge Park many times over, but not this very street. 🙈 In fact, we didn’t even know it existed. .
With the rise of Instagram, new and unique spots are coming up all the time. The latest favorite among New Yorkers and tourists alike, not Times Square, not Empire State, but DUMBO. 💖
.
This time when I visited NYC, I was most excited about this area because it was the only new thing we were doing. So we had to see this the very first day! 🤷🏻♂️
.
But with famous spots come huge pools of crowd. And with that our nervousness rose. 🥺 Then how did we manage to get this photo with nobody else in it, you ask? Let’s talk about our secrets in our next post. 😉🤫💖

Took a break from the gram for a while to spend some quality time with this lovely in New York! 💞🥰
.
But we’re back now with some amazing stories to share. 😁😉
.
So as you guys know we’ve lived in New York for over 2 years and have probably visited even the tiniest of spots quite many times but we never really thought of them from a photography perspective. 📸
.
However, after Akriti moved to Seattle, we realized the real worth of it. 😜 We had all those beautiful memories in our hearts but nothing to show for them. 🤷🏻♂️
.
So, this time we decided to have an all-touristy NYC trip (yet again), only to capture some beautiful moments we spend with each other. 🤗💖

We loved every bit of it, but there were struggles involved. More on that in our upcoming posts over the next few days! 🤫😋
