Commenting again because I loved this video so much Cassie!! There are so many negative assumptions about NYC and I love that you talked about how safe you feel and how friendly New Yorkers are!! As a native here, this puts a big smile on my face. 😊
I’m so happy you appreciated that! I was shocked by how many messages I got when I said I was moving, saying I’d hate it etc. and I’ve been so so happy in NYC!
As a Native New Yorker, who's still here 39 years in, I LOVE that you are loving and enjoying our fine city. NY gets a bad rap often, and while we're not for everyone, I think more than anything the city and people are often misunderstood. Your point about NYers wanting other people to experience what they love and enjoy their time in NY is so true. I've loved seeing NY through your eyes and your experiences; it's made this sometimes jaded native fall further in love with her home. ❤
I was an early subscriber who left and has come back with your move to NYC. I was getting a bit overwhelmed with luxury channels and needed a break, but your new scheduling and topics are so refreshing and entertaining (the vlogs are everything!). A slice of your life and adventure is perfection when combined with your entertaining personality. You’ve got a great recipe brewing with your channel! I’m glad you find New Yorkers are sharing, friendly, and interactive! Enjoy it all and thanks for the entertaining and informative videos. ❤
As a New Yorker, I agree there’s not all that much of a difference between here and London. In fact, I’m headed back to London again (twice in 6 mos) because I’m quite comfortable there. I consider London a cleaner, more civilized version of NYC but NYC is my gritty home sweet home that I love. 😂 So glad you’re enjoying yourself here and living your best life Cassie! ❤ (And yes, NYC is much much faster paced than everywhere else in the world! So true. 💨)
There’s nothing like British humour. Growing up so many of my parents’ friends didn’t know how to take my dad. They often asked my mom if he was serious…..he never was. I’ve happily carried it in in my family and am very proud of my wit.❤️😂
Having lived in both cities I absolutely agree with EVERYTHING said! The tube vs subway was the BIGGEST shock to the system for me! I have witnessed fist fights on the subway at 6am, I’ve seen a grown man tell a heavily pregnant woman he’s not moving from his seat because he did not get her pregnant on the subway! Now compared to London where I came down the escalator in Canary Wharf to the scene of what is called a queue!! People literally standing in an organised line where the doors will open to wait to get onto the train one by one 😮the shock! I took a picture and sent it to everyone I knew in New York
And my favorite thing about NYC is exactly what you said at the end. New Yorkers don’t bag an eye at anything. Live your best life. Dress how you want. Be yourself. It’s wonderful.
May I say the people you have in New York definitely seem to have played a key role in helping you settle, despite only knowing them over a screen they all seem amazing and great people to lean on.
Such a positive video. No regret at all. That’s what matters! And me and the others will keep sending you good vibes only to keep thriving on all levels, work, friends, money, love, health, security, food (yep that’s very important too 😅)! Stay blessed Cassandra 💞 and thank you for answering my question, I felt special lol 😅
Great Q&A, thank you for being honest. For spices, look for ethnic groceries mostly in Brooklyn if you’re willing to make the trip. To save $, you should reconsider the subway. It’s quicker than taxi or Uber during rush hour and cheaper than both. It’s safe - just be aware of your surroundings like in any city. Loved your energy before and love it now that you’re stateside!!
I wholeheartedly second this! While yes, NYC as a whole is expensive, Manhattan is not representative of NYC’s offerings. I’m from Queens and if you’re willing to hop on the subway, stopping along the 7 alone will take you all around the world and you can get good food for cheap! For good Indian, the Jackson Heights area is only about a half-hour from Midtown. (I will say there are some good Indian restaurants in the city, like Indian Accent on the upscale side, Dhaba in what they call “Curry Hill” or Punjabi Deli in the LES for a more “hole in the wall”). Also, to save on groceries I also recommend Aldi! There’s one in East Harlem. A bit of a trek but definitely a good place to save! That said, you’ve only been here 3 months. There are native New Yorkers who haven’t ventured outside their bubble. Glad you’re enjoying your time here! It’s not for everyone but there’s no place like it.
i’m a fashion student from singapore, and after a full day of draining lessons, this is the perfect little treat for me ❤️ sending so much love to you cassie!
So glad you mentioned how friendly Americans are and how complimentary. It’s not just NYC, who gets an unfair bad rep. We are some of the nicest and friendly people. Always happy to help someone lost. I have no problem going up to complete stranger and giving them a compliment on their bag, shoes, outfit, hair and others have done the same. I love that about us!
Loved this video!! Cannot wait for the trend differences!!! Also, we Americans love Brits!!! Plus your scintillating personality, sense of humor and natural magnetism draws people to you!!!! You are making America a better place!!
Great video Cassie! I agree with you completely about safety, wearing designer things etc. NYC is magical and there is nowhere like it. So glad you love it!❤
So glad you are here in the US and enjoying NY!!! This was a very fun video! I appreciated getting to know you better! Looking forward to your next video soon!🥰
Hi Cassie, Native New Yorker here who also LOVES London. So refreshing to hear from someone who "gets" us. I think we're friendly and helpful. We want to share what we love with you. You got it right away. Thanks and welcome.
Great video. I am not surprised by your continued and well deserved success/ opportunites in NYC. I keep telling you that people know who you are. The Fendi invite, the mini Kelly offer. Darling- you are a STAR🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😀.
Huge thanks Cassie for showing NYC in a positive light. We're so used to being bashed, particularly by non-Americans, but as someone who has lived in other countries and traveled all over, I feel there's really nothing anywhere that comes close to the energy, opportunities and overall greatness like NYC. And yes, we ARE friendly and nice!
Three months have flown by. As a New Yorker, there really is so much to do and the seasons are great just wait for a few weeks when the leaves are gorgeous and there are all the holiday events! Keep on doing what you’re doing. We will keep watching and supporting 🎃
I live in Miami but I go to New York often and I honestly never understood why people say New Yorkers are mean. I find them to be so friendly and helpful, much kinder then the people in Miami. And omg the SAs are THE BEST, I don’t even have SAs in Miami anymore if I need something I’ll ask one of my amazing SAs in New York.
Awesome video! The energy of NYC for sure, nowhere else in the US is like it, I don’t sleep for the first 3 days of a visit. I’ll never forget a late 90s year when the Mets and Yankees hit the World Series together. The game that set it up, I heard the whole city whoop at once from my hotel room. In the next days, people in the street just randomly ranting at me and gesticulating over it. As an extrovert, I felt at home. People always say exactly what they think, because surviving there is you-because-you-are-you, and nobody else, and New Yorkers know it.
If your accent starts to fade, then all you need to do is watch Peppa Pig. My niece, a native Texan who rarely leaves Texas, ended up with an English accent after becoming addicted to the show. My sister in law was told that this is a common phenomenon amongst Peppa loving American toddlers.
It’s always such a joy to watch you & listen to your content! You are by far my favorite TH-camr!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Beautiful, authentic, smart and fun! I live in Brooklyn & so glad you chose our city!😘
That is why I love New Orleans. No matter what I’m doing, someone else is doing something more insane n no one is looking at me. So glad you are enjoying it! ❤❤
I think you moving to NY has been a wonderful change for you. You look happy you're more open and confident. And I love seeing it. You just give good vibes all around. Ciao from Italy bella ❤️
Glad to hear you are doing well! I was wondering if you have had a rat encounter (you have!) and if you have been called mami yet. I can’t spend a day in NYC without either of those two experiences. I think the cultural diversity really contributes to the sense of fashion there. I live in the west coast and miss seeing women wearing color! We are very bland in the San Francisco Bay Area. The outer boroughs are a very different cultural experience and may be a good place to find Indian food and do some non-perishable grocery shopping. The Asian markets are phenomenal for spices and dry goods.
Ah I would never have guessed that the Bay Area doesn’t do much colour in their fashion! That’s so interesting and I need to find an Asian supermarket near me 🙌🏽💖
Hi Cassie. This was an intresting informative video. Am glad that you seem to have settled in well and are positive about your experience thus far in New York. A positive and realistic outlook is the key to making comfortable adjustments as you settle in. Stay blessed dear
Cassie, Hi 👋🏾... I've observed that your food plates in NYC look so much tastier than the UK ones... 🤷🏽♀️ I mean I almost booked a flight just because of your dinner once. We must be missing somethjng here...🥘
I was holding my breath till you said “we”. So glad you and Neve(sp?) are still together. Food in grocery stores in America is 20-40% higher than the UK. Don’t know why? Restaurant food is about the same. Any “gig”services are usually higher Welcome to America. My hubby’s from OZ (Sydney) and he didn’t think he could live in the south but now he loves it. Once you get use to Americans you don’t know constantly talking to you 😂
I’m elated you’re enjoying life in New York thus far. Thankfully technology allows the constant communication with your family back home. It’s been great seeing you flourish while living in NYC. Whether you live in NYC or not, I’m confident you’re going to continue to make the most out of your time in NYC (long or short term). Thanks for sharing an update. Can’t wait for the trend comparison video. BTW, you look great with the new camera (the out of focus isn’t too bad, the kinks will iron out). Xx
Loved this video. Before the pandemic, I use to do at least one trip to the states a year and then I would do another trip to Europe of somewhere else. Glad you did not move to LA. for a period I use to go to LA every year. It takes ages to get there, you have to drive everywhere, the jet lag is awful when you are there and it took me at least 2 weeks to recover on my return to London. I remember the first time I went to NY, it was loud and went for a day just to visit the Statue of Liberty (as we were staying in New Jersey) which ended up being closed for security reasons (and that was way before 9/11). Second time I went was on a 4 day girl trip, nice but rushed. Third time was in 2019 November before covid. Who you travel with makes your holiday. You have defo come out of your shell and have made friends compared to what I saw in your London vlogs and I think that's why you are happy, your more confident to try new things, your channel is growing and opportunities are coming your way. Your right American's pay complements even guys, I remember on the bus at the airport while I was busy getting something from my bag, this guy just said I love your purse. In London brands always seem to move towards TH-camrs with 400K plus followers, unlike the states which is definetly the land of opportunities. God directs our paths even when we do not realise it and when we do (Proverbs chapter 3 verses 5 to 7).❤. Enjoy your current situation and all the experiences that come with it
I hope you’re able to visit more cities in the US. The only city I would recommend dialing it back a bit in is Chicago. I was harassed by people on the street for simply carrying shopping bags from high-end stores. Also was demanded to “sit down and stfu (I wasn’t talking)” on public transport by a homeless person. Chicago is one of my favorites, but I’m more on the careful side when visiting and NEVER take public transport.
For Indian food go around the Baruch College section and you will have several options. There is also Joy Restaurant between Lexington and Third Ave and 44th or 45th Street.
I'm in Canada, and I soooo agree with you about the sweet bread lol. I had a good laugh over the skirt in your underwear, because it is so true! I do love that about NYC, that no one cares how you look. Glad you are enjoying it and it is cool to hear your perspective as a Londoner. As someone with many loud NY cousins, I still love that it is so unique. Nowhere else in the world is the same as NY. Enjoy your time there. I am sure you will make many great memories :)
Cant wait to see the video comparing New york fashion to London Fasion. I am surprised that NY is more expensive than London, People from London used to fly to NYC for Christmas shopping.
Great Q and A. I miss NYC…my last trip there was in 2018. New Yorkers are overall very friendly and helpful. I love their directness because I am a very direct person and I hate reading between the lines. I went to a cafe that sold snacks and a bottle of soda was quite pricey. ♥
I am so happy for you Cassie, I struggle to watch all your videos now thou.I fell in love with the people from New York. I have been living in London for many years but New Yorkers stole my heart. If it was easier to move, I would have tried.
Great video! There is no faster pace than NY, but London has so much history and more civility. For the world of fashion, I don’t think you can beat NYC. There is so much opportunity there!
Hello Cassie, so happy for the new you in NYC. Complement givers is something vey present in USA. I moved from the Boston area to Italy and I don’t remember being complemented by anybody. I miss being able to complain also. Here there’s no point in doing so I have learned to deal with bad food at restaurants and keeping defective clothes in the closet. But the thing I miss the most, is family and friends. It doesn’t matter if Florence is beautiful, I miss my Mom. Best of luck to you!
'An odd whiff of urine in the nostrils'- ok that line should be in a movie! 😂 Also- agree on the tube comment. We had the pleasure of living in Paris for several years and the underground system was unbelievable!! Not at all the same here in the US sadly. Glad you are happy in NY Cassie!
Lovely video cassie, You should be so proud, all you achieved in three months, glad your enjoying NYC!! After all it’s not the place, it’s the person, you’ve star quality.Keep shining 💛🍹✨✨
It is still early in your transition and you'll learn to roll with whatever comes. The streets are alive and there is no place like NYC!!! Enjoy and appreciate the time.
Yes, here in NYC, we do see some of the craziest things. My sister told me the other day that she was with our cousin and they drove past a lady with a big metal bucket on her head and she cut two holes for her eyes to see.
Hey beautiful! I live in Soho and love it. Nothing is perfect in NYC but there is amazing energy here. I traveled a lot and have to say NYC is special! So great to have you here!
Fellow NYCer You should try the citibikes I love them so easy to get around, stations everywhere, time saving if you’re not going too far. I love them even got the annual membership.
For basic groceries at a good price, try Western Beef on West End by Lincoln Center. I walk in the streets rather than the sidewalks to avoid the rats that jump out unexpectedly. Also- avoid walking near trash. I hope you continue to enjoy your time in NYC. Soon all of the amazing holiday decorations will be up at Saks, Bergdorf's, etc. The weather will be cooling and you can break out all of your fabulous looks for Fall. Next thing you know, NYFW will be here again. You will serving cold weather looks. Time flies when you are fabulous luxury influencer😀.
Wait until you visit Nashville and experience southern hospitality. Also you need to travel around this country to some of our national parks before you leave, if you ever do. Truly so many difference breathtaking beautiful places.
Cassie I loved this video. As a South African living here in the US, I resonated with your views so highly. You are spot on with your assessments. Couldn’t agree more on the friendliness as well as the bread! We also have more European style bread in South Africa so that is something I miss immensely! Keep up the great content!
I loved this. It was so interesting finding out so much about you and your feelings living in NYC. Looking in from the outside I personally think you are thriving there and obviously loving it. What a wonderful adventure for you. I just wish I was younger so I could do something like this. Can't wait for another Q & A. Much love to you lovely Cassie, Nii and your wonderful parents. Jenni from Australia. XXXX
I KNEW you would spread your unique self even further then London! This video was FANTASTIC as per usual... From your old 52 yr old follower since the wrong Monica V. ring link. Hahahaha. I know if I identify myself that way, you know generally what follower I am. Oh! I am shocked that the bread here vs London is so different? So weird? May you find your holy loaf of bread! hahaha. I'm sure you will, hello? You're in NY. The best food ever! So happy to see you expanding and being your authentic self :)
Cassie Thorpe = content creator extraordinaire! Loved this. I’ve lived 2 hours south of NYC my whole life. I’ve visited many times over the years. I can tell you that I can get a good size shaker of cinnamon for about $2 here in Delaware. So New York pricing is not at all indicative of the rest of the mid to North Atlantic coast. And as for the video quality, please don’t worry. It will be fixed soon enough.
Love hearing about all the comparisons and your experience, because I worked for my dad in Manhattan on 7th Ave between my junior and senior year of high school as well as after graduating. I hated it, but I think it was because my father didn’t take me anywhere, we lived in NJ, so lots of commuting. I only saw the bad parts I think and wasn’t old enough to enjoy it.
I miss how UK prices always include VAT, versus having to add the extra percentages for sales tax in the US. I'm glad that your move is working out in the best way possible!
Commenting again because I loved this video so much Cassie!! There are so many negative assumptions about NYC and I love that you talked about how safe you feel and how friendly New Yorkers are!! As a native here, this puts a big smile on my face. 😊
I’m so happy you appreciated that! I was shocked by how many messages I got when I said I was moving, saying I’d hate it etc. and I’ve been so so happy in NYC!
@@CassieThorpe So happy you’re feeling happy. 😉
I live in NYC. I love that it has a unsafe and unfriendly reputation because then I’m big and bag for living here! 😁
They are friendly! Whenever I go, people always strike up great and sane conversations, lol! Hi @hello catwalk city! Love your channel too!
You need a PODCAST!!!! You may be the first and only influencer I’d would say this about.
Maybe I need to investigate 👀
@@CassieThorpe I second that! Truly! 😉
As a Native New Yorker, who's still here 39 years in, I LOVE that you are loving and enjoying our fine city. NY gets a bad rap often, and while we're not for everyone, I think more than anything the city and people are often misunderstood. Your point about NYers wanting other people to experience what they love and enjoy their time in NY is so true. I've loved seeing NY through your eyes and your experiences; it's made this sometimes jaded native fall further in love with her home. ❤
Oh wow what a compliment!! It’s such a magical place 🤩
I’m intrigued with people who have an ease with words. A sort of flow. Cassie has that. She’s articulate as hell.
Why thank you 😂🙌🏽

They’re so similar but I love your description of NYC 😂🙌🏽
LOL you've never been to Hong Kong have you? I agree on the rest :)
@@blktauna I was thinking the same about Tokyo, 🤔 definitely a fast-paced city! But oh so marvelous! 🙌🏾 As are NYC and London. 💗
There’s nothing like British humour. Growing up so many of my parents’ friends didn’t know how to take my dad. They often asked my mom if he was serious…..he never was. I’ve happily carried it in in my family and am very proud of my wit.❤️😂

Hahahahaha the differences between tube/subway are truly astounding 😂😂
You clearly never took the tube or bus after a night out in London.. I’ve seen plenty of bloody faces in the London tube.
Ca$$ie + NYC = a match
Loved the energy in this video and so happy for you and Nii ❤
Aww thank you!! 🥹
As a lifetime New Yorker who has spent a lot of time in London, you really hit the nail on the head. I love NY so I’m glad you’re enjoying it too!
Ah so glad you could relate!!
its such a treat to come home from work to a video from you! my fav days of the week are mon, wed & fri 😂
Omgg that means so much to me!
And my favorite thing about NYC is exactly what you said at the end. New Yorkers don’t bag an eye at anything. Live your best life. Dress how you want. Be yourself. It’s wonderful.
Yes!! So freeing!!
May I say the people you have in New York definitely seem to have played a key role in helping you settle, despite only knowing them over a screen they all seem amazing and great people to lean on.
So true - they’ve made settling in so easy!
Such a positive video. No regret at all. That’s what matters! And me and the others will keep sending you good vibes only to keep thriving on all levels, work, friends, money, love, health, security, food (yep that’s very important too 😅)! Stay blessed Cassandra 💞 and thank you for answering my question, I felt special lol 😅

Thank you so much Kristin! 💖
Highly recommend Bhatti, Dhamaka, Semma & Baar Baar for Indian food in NYC!
Ah amazing thank you!
I think you look so gorgeous in this video. This more natural look and your warm smile is the best! ❤
Thanks Kathy! 💖

If your accent starts to fade, then all you need to do is watch Peppa Pig. My niece, a native Texan who rarely leaves Texas, ended up with an English accent after becoming addicted to the show. My sister in law was told that this is a common phenomenon amongst Peppa loving American toddlers.
This is cracking me up 😂😂😂
My young daughter as well! Philly girl spoke like a brit in prek
Started a new job and they straight out told me "We have a New York office, if you want to move we can do that." And this video is temptttinnnngggg me
Oohhhh 😉
New York sounds amazing but I think your attitude is really helping you do well and be happy.
I think you’re right! 💖

Ah I would never have guessed that the Bay Area doesn’t do much colour in their fashion! That’s so interesting and I need to find an Asian supermarket near me 🙌🏽💖
Hi Cassie. This was an intresting informative video. Am glad that you seem to have settled in well and are positive about your experience thus far in New York. A positive and realistic outlook is the key to making comfortable adjustments as you settle in. Stay blessed dear
So true 🙌🏽💖
When you said London is half the price----I'm ready to move there---packing up my BK apartment now! 🤣 I'm glad you're loving the city!
😂😂🙌🏽
Come over! 😂 especially now the pound is dropping against the dollar
Cassie, Hi 👋🏾... I've observed that your food plates in NYC look so much tastier than the UK ones... 🤷🏽♀️ I mean I almost booked a flight just because of your dinner once. We must be missing somethjng here...🥘
Hahaha there’s so many more restaurants in NYC so I think the competition is higher 😂💖
I was holding my breath till you said “we”. So glad you and Neve(sp?) are still together. Food in grocery stores in America is 20-40% higher than the UK. Don’t know why? Restaurant food is about the same. Any “gig”services are usually higher Welcome to America.
My hubby’s from OZ (Sydney) and he didn’t think he could live in the south but now he loves it. Once you get use to Americans you don’t know constantly talking to you 😂
So glad you like it here , I’m a native New Yorker born and raised here .
Wait until the holiday season the luxury stores on 5th Ave really glows .
I’m so excited!
I’m so excited!
I’m elated you’re enjoying life in New York thus far. Thankfully technology allows the constant communication with your family back home. It’s been great seeing you flourish while living in NYC. Whether you live in NYC or not, I’m confident you’re going to continue to make the most out of your time in NYC (long or short term). Thanks for sharing an update. Can’t wait for the trend comparison video. BTW, you look great with the new camera (the out of focus isn’t too bad, the kinks will iron out). Xx
Thank you Athena! I’m so happy it’s been going well 🙌🏽💖
This was good. Your answers were great. Wouldn’t mind watching another one.
Yayy glad you liked it!
Loved this video. Before the pandemic, I use to do at least one trip to the states a year and then I would do another trip to Europe of somewhere else. Glad you did not move to LA. for a period I use to go to LA every year. It takes ages to get there, you have to drive everywhere, the jet lag is awful when you are there and it took me at least 2 weeks to recover on my return to London. I remember the first time I went to NY, it was loud and went for a day just to visit the Statue of Liberty (as we were staying in New Jersey) which ended up being closed for security reasons (and that was way before 9/11). Second time I went was on a 4 day girl trip, nice but rushed. Third time was in 2019 November before covid. Who you travel with makes your holiday. You have defo come out of your shell and have made friends compared to what I saw in your London vlogs and I think that's why you are happy, your more confident to try new things, your channel is growing and opportunities are coming your way. Your right American's pay complements even guys, I remember on the bus at the airport while I was busy getting something from my bag, this guy just said I love your purse. In London brands always seem to move towards TH-camrs with 400K plus followers, unlike the states which is definetly the land of opportunities. God directs our paths even when we do not realise it and when we do (Proverbs chapter 3 verses 5 to 7).❤. Enjoy your current situation and all the experiences that come with it
Thank you for sharing your experiences! And you’re so right I truly believe everything happens for a reason 🙌🏽💖
Omg so fun! Thanks for sharing Cassie! I’d so love to twin with you and that fab coat!!! 😍
😍😍
I hope you’re able to visit more cities in the US. The only city I would recommend dialing it back a bit in is Chicago. I was harassed by people on the street for simply carrying shopping bags from high-end stores. Also was demanded to “sit down and stfu (I wasn’t talking)” on public transport by a homeless person. Chicago is one of my favorites, but I’m more on the careful side when visiting and NEVER take public transport.
Oh gosh! It’s on my list to visit but I’ll keep that in mind 💖
You are thriving in NYC!! So happy for you cassie xoxo
Thank you so much 😭💖
For Indian food go around the Baruch College section and you will have several options. There is also Joy Restaurant between Lexington and Third Ave and 44th or 45th Street.
Great tip! Thank you!
I'm in Canada, and I soooo agree with you about the sweet bread lol. I had a good laugh over the skirt in your underwear, because it is so true! I do love that about NYC, that no one cares how you look. Glad you are enjoying it and it is cool to hear your perspective as a Londoner. As someone with many loud NY cousins, I still love that it is so unique. Nowhere else in the world is the same as NY. Enjoy your time there. I am sure you will make many great memories :)
So unique and exciting 🥹🙌🏽💖
That was really nice,Cassie. You are always so open about everything,you’re like a breeze of fresh air…love it ánd love you and your videos.🙏🏻🥰
You’re a gem!! Thank you 🙌🏽💖
I think we are all clearly really glad to see that you are so happy with the NYC move. Can't wait to see how the journey continues xx
Thank you 🥹
I’m so glad your experience so far has been mostly positive. I enjoyed your update.
🙌🏽💖💖
perfect timing, was just about to have a bite to eat 👌🏻😬 now I have something to watch 😝
Same 😂
It’s like a read your mind 😉
Great q and a video,glad you're loving living in NYC and enjoying the USA
😍🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@CassieThorpe your welcome 😊💙💙💜
Cant wait to see the video comparing New york fashion to London Fasion. I am surprised that NY is more expensive than London, People from London used to fly to NYC for Christmas shopping.
I remember those days 🥲
Great Q and A. I miss NYC…my last trip there was in 2018. New Yorkers are overall very friendly and helpful. I love their directness because I am a very direct person and I hate reading between the lines. I went to a cafe that sold snacks and a bottle of soda was quite pricey. ♥
Glad you had a good time in NYC!
I am so happy for you Cassie, I struggle to watch all your videos now thou.I fell in love with the people from New York. I have been living in London for many years but New Yorkers stole my heart. If it was easier to move, I would have tried.
Maybe one day soon you can visit NYC again! 💖
@@CassieThorpe small kids around, have to wait a couple of years!
Great video! There is no faster pace than NY, but London has so much history and more civility. For the world of fashion, I don’t think you can beat NYC. There is so much opportunity there!
🙌🏽💖💖
you could buy fantastic bread from local bakeries. my faves are partybus bakeshop, Mel’s and Cafe d’avignon :)
I’ll have a look! Thank you!
Hello Cassie, so happy for the new you in NYC. Complement givers is something vey present in USA. I moved from the Boston area to Italy and I don’t remember being complemented by anybody. I miss being able to complain also. Here there’s no point in doing so I have learned to deal with bad food at restaurants and keeping defective clothes in the closet. But the thing I miss the most, is family and friends. It doesn’t matter if Florence is beautiful, I miss my Mom. Best of luck to you!
Thank you for sharing your own experience! It’s not easy to move so far away from home ❤️❤️❤️
Love watching you navigating NYC! Thanks for this fun Q and A!!
🙌🏽💖💖
'An odd whiff of urine in the nostrils'- ok that line should be in a movie! 😂 Also- agree on the tube comment. We had the pleasure of living in Paris for several years and the underground system was unbelievable!! Not at all the same here in the US sadly. Glad you are happy in NY Cassie!
The Paris Metro is amazing!! And thank you 🥹💖
The Paris Metro is amazing!! And thank you 🥹💖
Lovely video cassie, You should be so proud, all you achieved in three months, glad your enjoying NYC!! After all it’s not the place, it’s the person, you’ve star quality.Keep shining 💛🍹✨✨
You’ve brought a big smile to my face Margaret! Thank you 🙌🏽💖
OMG! Wader vs Water!!! Keep the British version please! I’ve slid a little but it’s been 24 years living here.
I think you’re allowed after 24 years 😉
The bus IS totally underrated thank you!
🥳🥳🥳
It is still early in your transition and you'll learn to roll with whatever comes. The streets are alive and there is no place like NYC!!! Enjoy and appreciate the time.
I shall 🙌🏽🙏🏽💖
Enjoyed watching this video! Looking forward to see the fashion difference’s of London vs New York!
🙌🏽💖💖
Love that your happy, settled and contented. I hope everything continues to go well for you guy’s ❤️
Thank you so much!!
Yes, here in NYC, we do see some of the craziest things. My sister told me the other day that she was with our cousin and they drove past a lady with a big metal bucket on her head and she cut two holes for her eyes to see.
I just burst out laughing 🙈🙈
Hey beautiful!
I live in Soho and love it.
Nothing is perfect in NYC but there is amazing energy here.
I traveled a lot and have to say
NYC is special!
So great to have you here!
There’s a magic in NYC that I haven’t experienced anywhere else!
Fellow NYCer You should try the citibikes I love them so easy to get around, stations everywhere, time saving if you’re not going too far. I love them even got the annual membership.
I’ve used them a couple of times and love them but I definitely need to become more confident on them alone and not with a friend 💖
you seem so much happier and yourself since moving to nyc!! so happy for you!!
Thank you so much Shara 🥹
I'm happy NYC has been good for you. I love the vlogs and your excitement
Thank you so so much!
I effing loved this so much. I'm feeling the same right now.... I need a cultural hit to refresh my senses right now. I need to move to a new city 🙌
So glad you liked it!! 💖💖
Another great video! Thanks for sharing ur thoughts and feelings about ur experience here in NYC!
🙌🏽💖💖
For basic groceries at a good price, try Western Beef on West End by Lincoln Center. I walk in the streets rather than the sidewalks to avoid the rats that jump out unexpectedly. Also- avoid walking near trash. I hope you continue to enjoy your time in NYC. Soon all of the amazing holiday decorations will be up at Saks, Bergdorf's, etc. The weather will be cooling and you can break out all of your fabulous looks for Fall. Next thing you know, NYFW will be here again. You will serving cold weather looks. Time flies when you are fabulous luxury influencer😀.
Excellent tips! Thank you! Aahh you’re too lovely 🥹💖
I'm so happy your time in NY has been a positive one! ❤️
Me too 😍
I think if Cassie was a place, it would be NYC 😁 your energy is so much vibrant since you moved there. Love your videos much more now!
Aahh so glad you’re loving the videos since I moved 🙌🏽💖💖
Wait until you visit Nashville and experience southern hospitality. Also you need to travel around this country to some of our national parks before you leave, if you ever do. Truly so many difference breathtaking beautiful places.
Yes I’d love to see more cities and states!
Loved loved loved this update so much that I wish I could give it more thumbs up!
Awww I’ll pretend like you did 😉💖
Cassie I loved this video. As a South African living here in the US, I resonated with your views so highly. You are spot on with your assessments. Couldn’t agree more on the friendliness as well as the bread! We also have more European style bread in South Africa so that is something I miss immensely!
Keep up the great content!
Glad you could relate to a lot of this!! Thank you 🙏🏽💖
I loved this. It was so interesting finding out so much about you and your feelings living in NYC. Looking in from the outside I personally think you are thriving there and obviously loving it. What a wonderful adventure for you. I just wish I was younger so I could do something like this. Can't wait for another Q & A. Much love to you lovely Cassie, Nii and your wonderful parents. Jenni from Australia. XXXX
Glad you enjoyed this one Jenni! Cxxx
This was fun, thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Our bread is sweet…interesting 😂
😂🙌🏽
I'm so happy that you're thriving in NYC, Cassie! 💜
Thank you Kat! 😭💖
I KNEW you would spread your unique self even further then London! This video was FANTASTIC as per usual... From your old 52 yr old follower since the wrong Monica V. ring link. Hahahaha. I know if I identify myself that way, you know generally what follower I am. Oh! I am shocked that the bread here vs London is so different? So weird? May you find your holy loaf of bread! hahaha. I'm sure you will, hello? You're in NY. The best food ever! So happy to see you expanding and being your authentic self :)
I know exactly who you are 😉😂💖 hahaha thank you for your bread well wishes 🙌🏽😂
Cassie Thorpe = content creator extraordinaire! Loved this. I’ve lived 2 hours south of NYC my whole life. I’ve visited many times over the years. I can tell you that I can get a good size shaker of cinnamon for about $2 here in Delaware. So New York pricing is not at all indicative of the rest of the mid to North Atlantic coast. And as for the video quality, please don’t worry. It will be fixed soon enough.
Glad you enjoyed Melissa! And clearly I need to do more shopping around for cinnamon 😂😂💖
Glad you enjoyed Melissa! And clearly I need to do more shopping around for cinnamon 😂😂💖
Love hearing about all the comparisons and your experience, because I worked for my dad in Manhattan on 7th Ave between my junior and senior year of high school as well as after graduating. I hated it, but I think it was because my father didn’t take me anywhere, we lived in NJ, so lots of commuting. I only saw the bad parts I think and wasn’t old enough to enjoy it.
Hopefully you can visit again some day soon and see some parts you missed! 💖💖
I miss how UK prices always include VAT, versus having to add the extra percentages for sales tax in the US. I'm glad that your move is working out in the best way possible!
Yes that’s true!! I have come to terms with the fact that whatever they sell me at the cashier is a surprise 😂😂
I love your view on NY and I’m happy your having a great time so far ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!
