missing PNW moments like this extra hard today. It’s been hot, humid with occasional rain, and I’m wondering if I’ve brought the Seattle gloom over to New York.

I’m currently mapping out places I want to visit and things I want to do for the end-of-summer road trip. Going to fly back to Seattle and move most of our stuff out from storage, drive our car over to New York, and hit a few bucket list places along the way. I’ll definitely stop by either Mt. Rainier or North Cascades to do a few hikes, and then Glacier National Park in Montana! Hoping places won’t get too packed with early September dates and with kids being back to school.

What else should I add to my list/stop by during the trip? Have you done or do you know anyone who has done cross-country road trip like this? It’s going to be an epic trip that I’m so excited to take you all along.

Lastly, my NYC Guide is up on my blog, styleandsenses.com, so check it out if you’re wondering what’s in my list now that I get to call NYC home. ☺️Blogging it kinda makes me emotional and super thankful for the places I’ve been and the people I’ve met. On top of all, PNW has a special place in my heart.

Hi, it’s An! 👋🏻 hope y’all have had a great start to the week! It’s been 2 months since I moved to NYC, so I thought I’d share some recent thoughts plus 3 things I’m super into lately!

1. I love walking through the streets of NYC by myself and discovering so many cool buildings and shops. It’s the best place to spend the day alone, and you cannot get bored here!
2. My recent obsession is all things interior decor and furniture. NYC really is the city that offers so much design and decor inspiration, from worldwide famous brands to locally made art pieces. I’ve been curating a list of cool places here and will share it on my NYC City Guide blog post (will be up this week!)
3. I’ve been waking up super early (in contrast to my Seattle days), and mornings are my most favorite times because of the calm and quiet moments that I feel like so rare these days.

Mid-June to July has been the weirdest time in my life, and many things don’t go the way I want it to be. I feel like I’ve been taking one step forward (moving to NYC) but many steps back right after that. I know I just have to be patient and trust in the process, but it’s hard sometimes. After all, I know that I’ve gotten further than I think I have, so today is a self-appreciation day and giving myself the credit I deserve. Just grateful to be here.

Hope you do the same to yourself today, too! Leave me a comment sharing where you’re from and how you’re doing. Hi and thanks for following along! 🤗😘

Been having so much fun making my way down the lis

Been having so much fun making my way down the list of cool places (mostly restaurants and bars) in NYC that many of you have recommended. My ideal day always includes a coffee, browsing local shops (thrift stores for clothes and vintage furniture, plants, homeware and stationery shops), a brunch or dinner place (depending on how early or late I head out), and a drink at a bar.

What does your ideal day look like these days? What do you like to do when traveling to big cities like NYC? I’m a big foodie person, so food is one of the many reasons why I wouldn’t mind traveling far for good food.

📍Jeju Noodle Bar @jejunoodlebar - Korean restaurant focused on ramyun (noodle soups). Love the modern interior and friendly service. The Family Ramyum is my favorite since it's so different than many noodle soup dishes I’ve tried before. It's porky, garlicky, and every ingredient works so well together. Rated as one Michelin star restaurant with quality cooking. Worth a stop!

first hot sweaty summer spent as a New Yorker, and

first hot sweaty summer spent as a New Yorker, and I’ve got some tips to share if you’re planning to visit the city. #sponsored First of all, thanks @walgreens for working with me on this post. Walgreens has everything I need to have a fun-filled summer.

Tips to survive NYC summer:
- Don’t forget daily sunscreen and deodorant.
- You’re going to get sweaty and sticky, so dress light and comfy. At night, it can get chilly, so pack a light layer like a linen shirt just in case. Feel free to dress up because people here do really look like they’ve spent hours picking an outfit. 😝
- Plan ahead so that you don’t have to walk around trying to find what to do next. Of course avoid direct sun and try to stay cool. I always bring my Hydroflask with me on days that I know I’ll stay out longer.
- Check weather, and pack along a small umbrella if you don’t want to get soaking wet! Yes, I learnt that New Yorkers do bring umbrellas with them (vs. Seattleites don’t!).
- Bring a reusable tote bag or incorporate it in as a part of your outfit. You’ll never know what you might pick up along the way since NY has tons of cool shops and grocery stores! I love picking up bakery goods, snacks, and fruits whenever I’m out exploring the city, any cities.
- Wear comfortable shoes!!!
- Uber and Lyft are expensive these days, so opt for a can or biking. Make sure you have all of the apps downloaded with payment setup since you’ll never know when you really need to make it somewhere in time.
- NYC is back, but some places might still limit people or might even be closed for the day! Best is to call or reserve ahead!
- Lastly, have your summer music playlist ready! I have one song on repeat, and it’s Solar Power. ‘Can you reach me? No, you can’t (aha)!’🎶

Leave me your questions (I’d love to share my NYC experience!) or comment any tips you have to help survive the NYC heat. What summer essentials will you pick up at Walgreens? Shop in-store, online (link in my bio), and don’t forget that they also offer curb-side pickup, too!

Who’s coming over? #AD I love testing new recipe

Who’s coming over? #AD I love testing new recipes, and creating/recreating cocktail drinks has been my favorite activity to do at home. I’m thrilled to partner with @RoeAndCoWhiskey to share with you an easy refreshing tasting drink.

#RoeAndCo is a 45% ABV Irish Whiskey, aged in Bourbon Casks in Dublin. The whiskey itself is velvety, bright, and it holds up well in a cocktail. I can taste the spice and the woodsy vanilla.

Order via @DrizlyInc since the app #Drizly makes it easy to narrow down local stores, and they can deliver right to your door! Look for the pear-shaped bottle with the verdigris color label.

Roe Whiskey & Ginger Cocktail:
1. Fill a highball glass with ice (I used a 6 oz juice glass. Cubed or crushed ice works).
2. Pour Ginger Ale and gently stir (I added about 5 oz. but feel free to add more if you use a highball glass)
3. Add 1.5 oz of Roe & Co Whiskey
4. Garnish with a mint sprig, lemon or orange peel
Enjoy!
