We were leaving Strawberry Fields, the John Lennon tribute in Central Park. There is a crowd every day, despite the weather, all day long, despite the time. Everyone is having a picture taken sitting next to the Imagine mosaic. There is a crowd around the mosaic waiting their turn for a photo. The area is... Continue Reading →
Night is different. When it gets dark that’s all it does. It just gets dark. Places don’t close and things don’t stop, but they do slow down. The sounds of New Yorkers doing their daily business change to laughter and music at the end of the day as friends meet to relax. The Streets are... Continue Reading →
When the sun decides to settle and go down somewhere over the Hudson and behind New Jersey, an entirely different City awakens here and comes to life. Narrow tree-lined streets with narrow uneven sidewalks weave through a maze of restaurants, chophouses and cafes from 8th Ave eastward toward Broadway and the Theater District along 46th...

The Long Ride The morning broke bright, calm, warm and dry. We were antsy to go. Deciding to take a bike ride through Central Park, we located the nearest bike stand that had bikes, (Sometimes they are not at the closest rack), and walked over to 50th and Broadway, about a mile, to find our...

We have been testing the options for getting around town. We love the walking, it puts us on the streets where we can see the people, and notice the little things that might easily be missed, but it is slow and there is a limit to how far we can roam. The subway is faster, but... Continue Reading →
We were fortunate enough to get tickets to see Live with Kelly. You have to sign up for tickets on-line and get either priority or general. Because of my connections and influence, we got general. This show plays live and it starts at 9 am Eastern. Lining up for getting in starts at 7:15 am... Continue Reading →
We have pretty much got our neighborhood down. If we want or need something, we have figured out which direction and how far we need to go to get it. Well, we now are ready to branch out and broaden our horizons. The MTA operates the mass transit system throughout New York City. The subways... Continue Reading →
Saturday morning, we are sleeping in. Snoozing listening to the morning news, and thinking about getting up to fix breakfast. Coffee is already brewing. The Saturday anchor is sharing small talk, mostly good things that are happening in the city. Next story up he mentions an annual pillow fight at Washington Square in the afternoon. ...
