Happy Leap Year!

Aw yeah.  You're looking at a dark hot chococlate with a peanut butter barge cookie decorated with a 24 kt gld leaf.  It only comes once every 4 years, so why not indulge in the city bakery's Leap Year hot chocolate. And yes, it tastes just as decadent as it looks. 

East village graffiti

I walk down 11th street almost every Saturday to go to our favorite brunch place, westville east. Today, I noticed this graffiti gracing the side of a building painted gray. Not a new idea, but a nice reminder nonetheless.

Early May Day?

Not sure who, why, or what happened to these trees in Union Square, but the blue streamers match the color of the sky today.

Stillness

On a quiet weekday in central park, you can really feel the balance of both the stillness and the life breathing through the trees.  It's been awhile since I've visited the upper east side part of central park, where I spent many weekends in my first few years in nyc, and it feels like I'm visiting old friends.
