As I say farwell to NY, I am realizing I am also saying goodbye to comfort food for a while…No more American pancakes for breakfast, hamburger and fries for lunch and chocolate chip cookies as an afternoon snack. Believe me after 9 days in NY I need my Scandinavian diet (fish, fish and…fish). The list is highly subjective but here is my current top pick for NY restaurants:

1. Bond Street (still the best sushi in town)

2. Waverly Inn (hard to get a table but incredibly charming)

3. Freemans (comfort food, like you wish your mum would cook for you)

4. Mr Chow (nothing beats Chinese food served by Italian waiters )

5. The Burger Joint – Le Parker Meridien Hotel (if you only will eat one hamburger in your life you have to do it here)

One of the reasons I came to NY was to work with  Kenn Hicks, famous singer and vocal coach of the stars. Unfortunately I didn’t get as much time with him as I wanted to because I lost my voice but I managed to have an amazing session with him on Friday. I can´t wait to come back and work with him again, a singer always needs coaching and I had forgotten how fun it was. Let me just say that Kenn really gave me some of his magic….

I had the best Sunday in a very long time….it started with a walk with my Olympus Pen in The Meatpacking district.

You can´t leave NY without a great manicure. This metallic nailpolish from Dior is almost as good as Minx nails, which I still haven´t tried.

I don´t smoke but I still love the packaging of American Spirit cigarettes…

And how cool do the chocolate ones look??

A (largely exaggerated) storm warning is all over the local news in New York… Meanwhile, I am enjoying a brunch at The Grill, waiting for the wind and rain to stop….What to wear in a rain storm? Well, Pingis got it all right!

Hello lovers…

If you like to have an audience, this is the hotel for you. You can only imagine what has been going on behind these windows.

Let me just say, I´ve been a naughty girl today…

My day couldn´t have a better start…

Outside The Standard. My new favourite hotel in NY.

Memories from my last visit in Planet Funk’s studio in Naples…can´t wait to go back and write new songs.

Yesterday night I dragged myself out of bed and had dinner at the very cosy Freemans. Wonderful food, great ambience and a good crowd. I even bumped into Björn af Kleen who was sitting at the bar writing…maybe working on a new book?

I was wearing my usual uniform: Coat by House of Holland, Sweater by Helmut Lang, Shoes by Rick Owens, Tights by Whyred, Bag by Hermès, Earring by Maria Nilsdotter.

Freemans has also a boutique for men and a barber, just next to the restaurant, worth cheking out.
