FACTORY PR, 9/11 MEMORIAL & TOP OF THE ROCK | NEW YORK TRAVEL DIARY DAY #4

Coming in at a close second for best day of my New York trip was day four. 

We started the day with shopping in SoHo where I picked up a vintage Zara skirt for an absolute bargain! We then visited to Factory PR in their new offices. The clothes of the brands the company represents were all laid out across several rooms, and the office even had a kitchen style are and funky sofas. I never thought a PR office could look so cool! (I'm also a sucker for exposed brick walls so that made the office even cooler). 

The day then took a slightly sombre turn with a trip to Ground Zero and the 9/11 Memorial Museum. When I visited New York previously back in 2008 the memorial was still under construction so it was absolutely breathtaking to see the finished product of years of hard work. I was so taken aback by how emotional I was, and my high emotions continued inside the Museum which I spent a good three hours in just taking in the magnitude of everything. I was reading every plaque, observing every artefact and object and listening to every video. I could have easily spent longer in there but my friends and I wanted to go up the Rockefeller Centre before it got too late.

 We got to the Rockefeller Centre at the perfect time. It had turned dark and the whole city was lit up and looked just magical. One thing is definitely true about New York - it has one of the best skylines in the world.
