This past spring was a truly insane one at work. I put in more hours than I ever have before, and the one (literal) bright spot was that, every so often, I’d get up slightly early and go see some of the flowers popping up all around the city. If your brain is swimming with … More New York: the Big Apple in Bloom
At the beginning of each new season, I’m always convinced that season is my favorite. But, in reality, if I had to pick a true number one, it would no doubt be fall. And while there are many reasons I adore fall, chief among them are, of course, the colors. There are lots of good … More New York: Autumn Splendor in Central Park
One thing I often think about when it comes to New York is how up-and-down my relationship with this city is. Sometimes? Sometimes I truly love it and can’t get over how lucky I am to live here and to have all these museums and restaurants and Broadway shows right at my fingertips. Other times? … More New York: May and June Favorites
One thing it’s easy to forget about, or at least not fully appreciate, when you live in New York is just how immense Central Park is. It’s three avenues wide and 51 blocks high – but if you live here, you probably wind up visiting the same little bits again and again. That’s why, when … More New York: A Slice of Early Summer in Central Park
For some reason, though I always remember how much I love fall in New York, I seem to forget that I love spring too. And yet each year, it rolls around and I find myself surprised by one fact: this city is pretty damn enjoyable in the springtime. Flowers are blooming and the streets aren’t suffocatingly hot … More New York: April Favorites
The moment springtime rolls around – if, in fact, it has well and truly rolled around and we don’t get some random cold spell next week – I become a massive cliché. Instantly, I want to photograph ALL. THE. FLOWERS. As luck would have it, though, New York gives me plenty of opportunities to do just … More New York: The First Signs of Spring at Central Park
If you are a human being with internet access, no doubt you’ve been made well aware: it’s officially fall, y’all! Get out your boots and your scarves, order that PSL, cavort in an apple orchard. It’s decorative gourd season, motherf*$&ers. But before we binge on pumpkin-flavored everything, I figured I might as well talk a … More The Last Bits of Summer in the City
This summer in the city has been….crazy. Crazy hot, crazy busy, crazy fast. In June, I did ALL THE NEW YORK THINGS. In July, I got slammed at work and had time to write about none of it. And so, instead of my usual monthly recap, this month is two for the price of one (what … More June and July in New York: A Few Favorites
Maybe it’s down to the spring weather – finally! – but April felt like the month where I did…everything, basically. Saw all the plays, ate all the food, and took ALL the flower pictures (that last point cannot be emphasized enough). Oh, and logged all the hours at work, but we won’t get into that one … More April in New York: A Few Favorites
I always thought I was more of an autumn person, but this spring has me reconsidering my stance. Seemingly overnight, blossoms sprung up all around the city, and though I know they won’t last for long, I cannot help but admire them. While spring flowers are on what feels like every corner, the best place by … More Central Park in Bloom
