We talk so much about NYC being a concrete jungle. So much so that even Alicia Keys sings about it. Truth is, and what most people don't expect, is that New York City has a lot of green area that we can enjoy. There are truly countless of parks, from small to larg[...]
My oldest son recently asked me why it was that I enjoyed taking tours around New York City. He said, "Don't you know it all by now?" Well, some would assume so. But not I. I am not too proud to admit that there are a lot of things that I don't know about my city,[...]

I have been feeling a bit gloomy lately. When I start feeling a little blue I like to grab my camera, put on my comfy sneakers, and walk the city, especially on sunny days like today. Granted it was cold, but man was it pretty. I took my time and pacing myself thr[...]
