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
To repeat a common refrain around these parts, it’s a real shame I’m so behind at this whole blogging thing because I’m about to write about an exhibit that no longer exists. Ooops! Still, the Met’s annual costume exhibit is truly one of my very favorite things to do in New York, and it would … More New York: Heavenly Bodies at the Met

Every March, I find myself making a trip north to the Bronx. The reason? Orchids, of course. Since moving to New York three and a half years ago, it has become a yearly ritual for me to attend “The Orchid Show,” held annually in the beautiful greenhouse at the New York Botanical Garden. The show’s theme … More New York: My Annual Pilgrimage to the Orchid Show
