Don't You Love It When.......

...you have a business meeting and it ends up being at an office/conference room with a fabulous city view? This is the view from 120 Wall Street in Manhattan...of course you have to be on the east side of the building and on a high floor to have access to it!

NYC is experiencing mild weather this February - no need for the "Danger-Thin Ice" signs yet!

Hardy Street Trees - NYC Style

NYC trees have had a rough Fall so far...Hurricane Irene and then the freakish October snow storm felled many and damaged many more. But these "trees," made from colorful plastic ties wrapped around lamp posts around Cooper Square in Manhattan survived unscathed!

October Feast - PS 183 Flea & Farmer's Market

The PS 183 (Manhattan) Flea & Farmer's Market is held every Saturday, year-round. The manager of the market pays the school's PTA for the use of the space and the PTA uses the money to fund the school library, after-school program, arts programs, teaching assistants etc. Several NYC public schools have adopted this model for raising extra money. PS 183 is located at 66th Street between First and York Avenues. Enter the market on the 67th Street side of the building.

Lincoln Center ~ the New and Improved Version!

I've Decided ~ This IS Worth the Tree Pollen Allergies!

The city is talking about planting hypo-allergenic trees and I don't have a problem with that. I wonder whether the hypo-allergenic trees will produce the bursts of soft Spring blossoms like these old trees do. I'm just sayin'.

Friends

I was inspired by Nichole at little brown pen who always has beautiful photographs of streets, shops and "everyday" things, first from Paris and now from Pennsylvania, posted on her blog. I decided to take a lesson from her... that beauty is in the eye of the beholder....and that if you look for it, you will find it. Granted, I am not the photographer Nicole is and I may have to look a bit harder in parts of NYC than she did in Paris...but it's true, you can find beauty anywhere if you're looking for it.
For example:
The Friends Meeting House, off Stuyvesant Square Park, is a beautiful red brick building built in 1860 by the Hicksites, a group of Quakers who separated from the main congregation to pursue more traditional forms of worship.
