Flash Shoe: The Book

                             

I turned my favorite NY photos from this blog into a Photo Book! There are about 30 pages of nearly all full-color photos taking the reader onto a journey through some of the prettiest places in NYC, over time and through the seasons. Each page (except 1) has 4 photos, all re-edited by me this year.

2015 was a darn good year. I explored the City more than I ever had, completing my "NYC Photos" project; met with friends; celebrated with family at home; drank cups upon cups upon cups of coffee at cafes (favorite: Intelligentsia); ran on the treadmill, in parks, and in races; discovered so much good new music and finally went to Tanglewood; read some pretty good books (favorites: Just Kids and Novels and Stories); played in the best piano trio; crossed so many items off my NYC bucket list; watched movies and videos that made me think, laugh, and cry; learned new things at work and said goodbye to my work friends; started grad school; and started getting to know more people.

I'm so ready for 2016! It's going to be bolder and better than ever before!

The adventure continues here.

Back in NYC

So much packed into a three-day visit. Some favorites: the windows at Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue, the delicious lunch at Hummus Place in the Village on Christmas Day, the Art of Style at the Met (accompanied by a Chopin piano piece arranged for strings), and the colors and lights all over the City.

Coda

It doesn't feel right to continue adding my non-NY adventures to this blog. My current adventures, updated from time to time, will be moved to a different location TBA.

{ Pause }

After I left NYC for a new city in mid-August, my computer (with all my photos) unfortunately died.  This blog will be on pause for a bit as I get settled. I anticipate at least continuing my "week in photos" series, if in a different format. 

More adventures to come soon!

Weekend

Shakespeare in the Park at last (patience and luck prevailed). French toast with fresh mascarpone at Extra Virgin in the morning. The best coffee in my neighborhood (Postmark).  Avocado toast in the morning and a digestive with tea in the afternoon. Strolls in West Village and the Upper West Side, and peek into a performance at Lincoln Center. And a green juice to close out the day.
