“The beautiful city, the city of hurried and sparkling waters! The city of spires and masts! The city nested in bays! My city! The city of such women, I am mad to be with them! I will return after death to be with them! The city of such young men, I swear I cannot live happy, without I often go talk, walk, eat, drink, sleep, with them!”

~ Walt Whitman 

My home. My happy place. 


I hope that you will feel the same as soon as you visit the city yourself! I remember my first times in NYC... I wanted to see the most special places, slurp a coffee at a hip new place, and enjoy the best pizza in the Big Apple. Somehow it took me ages to find the best spots... here on OFF COLOR, I am sharing my favorite places with you and I hope my guides help you planning your perfect vacation, without browsing for hours. 

No matter what you need: coffe, matcha, chai tea, or just a cool spot to hang out while hiking through the Big Apple.
