We went to Iceland almost 8 years ago (how has it been so long!?) It is hands down my favorite place on earth. This is a list of all the places I loved.

Now these were the countries & territories I visited, during my entire lifetime. They're listed in the order I visted them in, without repeats.

Any Territories featured on the list, will be included after their parent country. Why? Because otherwise you people would be offended, if I stuck strictly to Chronological Order. Nationalist Reader: How could list a territory before it's Parent Country? Are you a Separatist?! Are you in cahoots with Terrorists?

A regularly updated curation of my best spots in the city, from an ex-East Village girl relocated to the West Side.Given how expansive Manhattan is, let alone considering the other four boroughs, I'd pick one neighborhood to explore each day.

With that in mind, these are the highlights I'd hit around Lower Manhattan (+ some Brooklyn house venues) with one weekend in the city from south to north.
