Spring in Bryant Park, NYC

Enjoyed this post? Give it some love and share!

It was a gorgeous spring day in NYC so I decided to take a stroll in the small, but lovely Bryant Park. When I worked in the area years ago this was the place I liked coming to to de-stress during my lunch hour or after work on warm nights. The park, surrounded by tall trees and with a flush green lawn right in the middle, is not only the place for such mid-day relaxation, it also home to the NYC Fashion Show each year, the fabulously trendy Bryant Park Cafe, and the backyard of the historical Stephen A. Schwarzman NYC Public Library building.

Though we were there pretty early in the morning, too early to even be able to ride Le Carrousel, we enjoyed sitting on the green chairs and taking in some of the fantastic weather. We enjoyed some of the activities being hosted by Poem in Your Pocket, a month long series of poetry reading and related events that they regularly host there every year.

This park is one of those hidden oasis one comes across in a city. After relaxing for a bit in the park, we decided to head over to Times Square. We decided to visit the massive Toys R’ Us there (now closed).The boys had been behaving so nicely that I thought they deserved a little gift in return.

It was that sort of day, full of strolls and resting at favorite stops, all while taking in the beauty of spring in their beloved city.

    I love bryant park! esp when the first warm weather breaks and everyone crowds the park on their lunch breaks to catch the sun…better yet, most of them end up ditching work and hitting up early happy hour (not that i know from experience or anything) LOL. Great post!

Hello world. I’d like to introduce you to a new Hello world. I’d like to introduce you to a new angel to this world, my beautiful little niece, Solénn 🥰

Did I cry? Of course. She is precious and as the oldest of 10 kids, I got to carry almost all of my siblings when they were this age too and care for them as they grew up. So, it is surreal to now have my “first babies” having babies! ♥️ It’s so sweet and beautiful and man, I can’t wait to see them give it to their parents as much as their parents gave it to me 😂. Being a Titi is the best!

One of the coolest brewery vibes I’ve experience One of the coolest brewery vibes I’ve experienced has been in @bigalicebrewing in Brooklyn, NY (they also have an Queens location). So you know I was excited when they opened up a spot in the Finger Lakes (Geneva)! 

It’s been a minute since I’ve visited and they’ve expanded their outdoor space (shown here) and now regularly host music as well as a food truck to pair goodies with your brew.

The sunsets here are pretty epic too, and it’s such a cool place to chill and be with friends. The staff is also super friendly. Definitely add them to your list of places to check out! Also, kinda have to have a special place in my heart for fellow city-folk who fell in love with this magical place too and are doing awesome things here. 🍻

To think I went so much of my life unaware of all To think I went so much of my life unaware of all the beauty right at my finger tips. I will forever to my core be proud to be born and raised in New York City, and for a moment I thought nothing could ever be greater. Turns out the world is filled with endless pockets of beauty and breathtaking spots. Some of them don’t always make it onto TikTok or Insta but they really are special.

I was out and about shooting for work in Tompkins County, and love that I get to experience beautiful places daily. 

I didn’t filter, and I edited only to fit this video, a glimpse into a day in the life here. I wish and hope people appreciate how this truly is a wonderful place to be. 

Featured are: Views of Dryden Lake (in the rain!), scenes from @underhill.farm (for a country stay, blueberry picking, and sheep!), @hopshirebrews (for photos but also a drink to cool off!), then we stopped at the super cute @thebigsbymarket where we got the sweetest peaches ever!
