mag·pie \ˈmag-ˌpī\: A small scavenger bird that collects and hoards objects with a weakness for shiny things. In addition to decorating their nests with their loot, magpies are known to eat anything once it discovers it is edible. Worshiped in some parts of the world for their luck and gift of prophesy, in England these birds were named for their chattering and were good luck if seen in pairs.
We are much like magpies, although we aren’t as scrappy – we’re sweet. Enter sisters Amy and Lisa, urban magpies and blog-divas who made their nests in Manhattan and love discovering the small treats and sparkly treasures this great city has to offer.
Living in a city like NYC attracts a lot of visitors which we LOVE, because it’s given us plenty of practice putting together perfectly tailored itineraries that complement our guests. We are often tapped for suggestions and nothing makes us fluff our feathers more than feeling like sophisticated NYC locals!
We are magpies with action-packed agendas. The perfect Saturday is a well-planned day full of new streets and the possibility of a treat or treasure to bring home. We started this blog to share not only our hoard of itineraries, but our passion for New York City.
In our writing, we hope to take you off the beaten path and introduce you to those hidden gems and one of-a-kind places that make us squeal ‘I love it here’! We do not promise the latest and trendiest hot spot – as we believe some things are tried and true – but we will promise you our honest opinion and share what we feel is truly an experience you won’t want to miss.
