Television actor Manasi Parekh Gohil shares with us her experience in New York City



Actor Manasi Parekh Gohil has had a special association with the city New York. “I had spent a few months in New York when I was doing an acting course at Lee Strasberg, and I absolutely loved the city,” she gushes. And hence her palpable excitement when she went there with husband Parthiv, recently, to attend a friend’s wedding, was totally justified.
“I went there with my husband to attend our friend’s wedding. It was the perfect combination of a Gujrati and Catholic wedding,” says Manasi. “They had combined the best of both religions and the wedding took place at the 16th chapel on 52nd street. It was one of the most special weddings I have attended and definitely extremely memorable for me.”




Both Manasi and her husband indulged in food, shopping, site-seeing and of course the famous Broadway shows. “We took a yacht ride on the Hudson River, which was great, as we had the opportunity to tour the five boroughs of New York City while seeing landmarks such as the Statute of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge,” she says. “We even got to watch the Blueman Group which was a great show with a lot of miming and comedy. New York is a great place to shop and so we did a lot of shopping for books, clothes, etc.”
A big fan of the food in New York, the couple binged without guilt. “Two places I could not miss out on during my trip were Whole Foods and Max Brenner’s Chocolate Factory. Whole Foods has amazing organic and healthy salads and great soups and pastas. Max Brenner’s is surely a chocolate lover’s paradise. The place smells amazing as they make the chocolate right there and it’s great to stop by on a cold day to enjoy a nice, warm cup on hot chocolate.”
Manasi even took time out to meet a few of her old friends from Lee Strasberg. “It was great catching up with my friends and colleagues as we chatted for hours amidst warm and toasty sinful fries.” Though it was just a short four-day trip, the couple made the most of the time spent in “their favourite city”.
