Comments 1 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Before coming to New York I started following a few Twitter accounts: @WHotelsNYC (our hotel), @UnionSquareNY (Union Square, the area in which we’ve been staying), and @UrbanSpaceNYC (curator of New York’s public markets) to see what events and activities were taking place during our stay.

New York City Morning

Comments 4 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Since I’m currently away on business I won’t have much time to post until tomorrow. However, this morning was just too good not to cover. The only thing better than taking a morning stroll down the bustling streets of Manhattan is doing so in the company of Michael DiLorenzo, the Director of Social Media Marketing […]

Like Tim Hortons I'm Heading to New York

Comments 8 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Tim Hortons, Canada’s favourite coffee and donut pit stop, is rolling into New York with many locations opening up today. This means that at this time tomorrow (even though I don’t take sugar in my coffee) I could be getting a double double from their new Broadway, Madison Square Garden, Penn Station or Times Square […]
