My favorite museum in New York is the Museum of Natural History. I especially love the hall of North American Mammals and the hall of African Mammals. I love standing in front of each incredible diorama and imagining what it would feel like to be transported directly into the natural scene in front of me,… Continue reading The Museum of Natural History

The Brooklyn Bridge
For a few years after I moved to New York, I didn’t have a specific, favorite place in the city. I loved this city, but nothing really stood out as a landmark or place that I loved most of all. I’ve always liked the Brooklyn Bridge, but it was after I moved to Brooklyn 3… Continue reading The Brooklyn Bridge
Christmas in New York
Most people who live in New York City, or visit often, agree that the city is at its absolute best during the holiday season. I run around from Thanksgiving (ok, usually before) until my flight home to Michigan each year trying to soak up as much NYC holiday atmosphere as I can. It’s my favorite… Continue reading Christmas in New York
Green-Wood Cemetery
Despite (or maybe because of) living in New York for over 7 years, I have a huge NYC Bucket List. I add to it all the time, and going on adventures to do the things on it helps curb my severe wanderlust. I love this city, and I love that no one can ever see… Continue reading Green-Wood Cemetery
Sunday at the Met
A few of my friends and I have established a new tradition this year called “The Sunday Brunch/Museum Group” (yes – we might need a better name). A few weeks ago we went to brunch at Lillies (now one of my favorite brunch spots in the city) and then headed over to the Met for… Continue reading Sunday at the Met
Brooklyn on a warm, sunny Thursday
As a follow up to my post “Brooklyn on a cold, windy Saturday,” here are some photos from the afternoon at the end of Emma’s trip that we spent in back in Brooklyn. The sun was much more cooperative for this outing. The first part of the afternoon was spent in Williamsburg. We were not… Continue reading Brooklyn on a warm, sunny Thursday
Brooklyn on a cold, windy Saturday
On Emma’s first day here, last Saturday, we got up early to get a head start on all the things we wanted to do in Brooklyn. We had stayed up until after 3 am talking the night before, so it was a rough morning. It was also pretty cold for April and extremely windy. First,… Continue reading Brooklyn on a cold, windy Saturday
Winter in Central Park
Last week I had a dentist appointment on 57th street, so I took the R uptown and my stop let out right at the bottom of Central Park. I love the park at all times of the year, and I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures of how peaceful and beautiful it looks during the… Continue reading Winter in Central Park
Spring in New York
I’m so delighted that we’re actually having a spring this year! Last year it went from 50 degrees to 90 degrees seemingly overnight. Ryan and I (and basically the entire office) have been heading to the closest park, Madison Square Park, during lunch every day. It’s gorgeous. Here are some photos I took on Wednesday:… Continue reading Spring in New York
Sex and the City Movie
I don’t have the energy for much of a post tonight, but I had to post this. My incredible luck lately has continued – we randomly walked by/into the filming of the Sex and the City movie! I was a wreck, giddy and manic and I kept snapping pictures and walking around (they told us… Continue reading Sex and the City Movie
John Mayer: Madison Square Garden
My first concert in New York. Madison Square Garden. John Mayer. Things don’t get much better than that. John was incredible, as always. He was charming, funny, clever, chatty and appreciative. I’ve seen him four times now, and each time has been better than the last. This show gave me a real appreciation for Continuum,… Continue reading John Mayer: Madison Square Garden
