NYC Travel Photography: A Stroll to the Park

Not too long ago, the boys and I headed to one of my favorite playgrounds in Central Park, right off of 67th and 5th Avenue. We walked past all the energy and excitement often found along Fifth Avenue…even past some overly excited tourists taking pictures of a man being arrested (oh the excitement of it all!), and past the famous Plaza Hotel, and fairly new Apple Store and FAO Schwarz Toy Store and more.

Hope you enjoy their afternoon in pictures!

    That's awesome. I get really nervous in big cities(small town boy here). That doesn't mean I can't appreciate it though.

    Thanks Latina!

    Jason: Yeah, when we first moved back from WI the little ones…no, actually, even the older one, were all a little careless. It took some training…now, they are pros (pretty much)!

    I occasionally (often) envy those who live in NY and have all that culture available within blocks.

    Those of us living in the sticks (Houston) get recycled broadway and apple stores stuck in malls.

    But we have yards. Even if they do flood.

    Whining. I'm whining. Sorry.

    Lovely photos.

    The southern area of central park is great for just walking around and looking at scenery (or toy stores) but the prices for even a bottle of water are a rip off. Just bring your own food to have a picnic and it's a great place.

Life has been a LOT lately, and I am indulging in Life has been a LOT lately, and I am indulging in it. 

Especially enjoyed this recent walk through town as a storm slowly brewed. 

It felt lovely.

Last year he painted this board which was recently on display still at @communityartselmira. 

Hopefully we have a sunny day and you can come out to support Travis and all the muralists that day! See you there!

The time has come to move on from my role as a bar The time has come to move on from my role as a barista at @the_garage_at_rye and towards my next adventure. 

I started this journey with a curiosity for a craft I admired and wanted to learn more about. It turned into a job. Then a serious passion. And now here I am, launching Café Cómodo (KOH-moh-doh), which means “Comfortable/cozy” in Spanish, a pop-up café serving espresso and seasonal drinks at local farmers markets and private events! (@cafecomodony)

Starting yet another business was never my intent…and yet, I fell further in love with the craft, the industry, and the culture.

I owe so much of what I have learned to @seschieber, who took me under her wings and taught me so much (and still does) and who embraced my nerdiness and eagerness with patience and kindness….and in the process became one of my dearest friends. Working alongside her has felt like winning the golden ticket. She further instilled in me a respect for the craft, the industry, and a commitment to always strive for a quality product, even in a world of Dunkins and Starbucks. 

Grateful for @abbdawes, @hannahmariee93, and Amanda who tolerated my clumsiness at the start while I fumbled my way through the register and the various drink recipes!

I wasn’t sure where this journey would lead, and as I look back at these clips I realize how much I have changed in the process. It’s not always a place that impacts you, but rather the people in it.

I will miss the regulars I’ve gotten to know whose names and drink orders I memorized and who I looked forward to serving. 

I’m so grateful for everything I learned, beyond just making coffee, because I know it will help me to further grow as a leader, an entrepreneur, and a team member wherever I go and in everything I do next.

I won’t miss the dark morning wake ups and long drives before sunrise though! 

I’m proudest of myself for wanting to develop a new skill and ✨DOING IT✨ even when it felt awkward, nerving, and impossible. I hope you will follow me on this next chapter and come say hi at the market (and hire me for your next event)!

Thank you to Charlie Hunter, owner of The Garage for this opportunity.
