Hi friends, welcome back! I’ve got the promised part two of my Central Park spring tour today and it might be one of my favorite Central Park posts I’ve done. I walked the entire park on this day from 110th to 59th street staying mostly on the east side, but following the pretty colors. It…
Hi friends, welcome back! Spring seems to be here in NYC and I am loving it! Two years ago (April 2020) Jon and I walked through Battery Park and discovered so many tulips and beautiful spring blooms, and that post brought me so much joy and hope during the initial lockdowns. I was very excited…

Hi friends, welcome back! I’ve got another fall foliage tour for you today. I originally went to the High Line to take pictures for a future post, but the fall colors were showing off so much that I just had to share. The High Line is a walkway and park built on an elevated, abandoned…
Hi friends, welcome back! I’ve been impatiently waiting for the leaves to change color in Central Park, but it seemed to be the last place in the Northeast to do so. Last week I took the subway all the way to 110th Street at the northern most end of Central Park to explore and search for…
