Why this blog ?

I thought I would "introduce" this new blog of mine and explain why I felt compelled to start writing here...

Being from Paris, having lived in Montreal (Canada), I come from a background of good food, good wine, all this while keeping a healthy vibe in mind...
So imagine the shock when I move in to New York City, the city that never sleeps, where restaurants, bars are in profusion, and spacious gyms, olympic size swimming pools, tennis courts.....well, not so much.

I found myself looking forward to living the high life, but always wanting to maintain real hard core exercise in my life...And jogging simply isn't enough for me.
And so, my new quest in this concrete jungle is to experience the restaurants, the bars, find fresh grocery stores for my home comfort food, and enjoy my 5 star gym (found after doing 2 weeks trials in a lot of NYC gyms for 2 months!)  :)

So I have decided to share all that...For anyone's interest, for a newcomer's interest in New York City and what this city has to offer to those who want a little bit more than food and drinks, and that don't "require" 8 hours of sleep of course ;) ... Because there are only 24 hours in a day unfortunately...

More to come on where to go, where to eat, where to drink, where to run, where to swim, where to buy a fresh red snapper, where to.....anything!
