I've been watching the news coming in from the Eastern Seaboard of the United States with grim horror.
Although I've never been to New York City, I use the underground here in London so pictures like this fill me with dread at how awful this must be. I've been in London when the whole city has closed down for one reason or another (usually a terrorist attack), and I know how horrible it is. You can't do anything but sit and wait.

Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamt of going to New York. The glamour, the creativity, the buzz, the people, the iconic landmarks - I need to experience them for myself.
So, in solidarity with NYC, I've compiled a list of my favourite New York based films, TV shows and stage shows. No disaster movies allowed. Stay safe, New Yorkers, we're all thinking of you.
1. 42nd Street
I'm talking about the stage musical here. This was one of the first shows I worked on when I came to London. I sold ice-creams in the interval & I couldn't believe my luck to actually be working in a real theatre in London. Every night I used to sneak into the auditorium and watch the show. The spectacle and the glamour were breathtaking.
2. Rear Window
I'm a big Hitchcock fan and this film is one of my favourites. I love the way the tension is built up from seemingly ordinary occurrences.

3. Ghostbusters
What's not to love?
Kate Hudson is the quintessential single New York girl about town. Career driven but looking for love.
Of course I wouldn't have forgotten it! Still the best programme I've ever seen about being single and trying to find love.
