Central Park – Featuring Flowers, A Raccoon and David Blaine

I went for an early autumn walk in Central Park and inhaled in all of New York’s splendor. Across the Reservoir in Central Park. Flowers behind the fence. A closer look. The Great Lawn. Duh. My favorite lounging place – near Belvedere Castle. Turtle Pond with a sea of floating moss. Raccoon in Central Park. I kept my distance (that’s why the photo is blurry). … Continue reading Central Park – Featuring Flowers, A Raccoon and David Blaine

On the roof

After Sunday’s rained out attempt, we ventured down Muesum Mile once again and finally made it to see the art installation of sculptures by Jeff Koons. Set on the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the creations were dramatic and awesome against a Central Park and Manhattan skyline.

Intelligence Compatiblity

Overheard in Central Park A couple, clearly very connected – physically, emotionally, intellectually are very involved in a conversation about some movie. HE: Above all else – the reason I think we’re so compatible is that you’re my intellectual equal. SHE: Yes, I agree. I mean you know stuff I don’t know and vice versa. We fill in each other’s gaps. HE: So this movie … Continue reading Intelligence Compatiblity

Hearting the weekend

SoHo and NoLita hearts were everywhere – especially graffiti and stickers. When we had our favorite huevos rancheros (with poached eggs LIGHT) at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Mexican Radio, hearts surrounded us. See:lit up at the bar logo for Corazon Tequla on the column above our table we faced a heartStickers around Soho: Graffiti in a secret alley And then we passed my future apt … Continue reading Hearting the weekend

Upper West Side Hearts

My good friend Rachel and her husband Bob are part of the “A game” in my book. Transparently basking in the glow of newlywed love after celebrating their three-year wedding anniversary, these Upper West Side residents are competitive athletes, driven career folks, lovers of the arts and as I like to say – good people. As always Rachel’s invitation for drinks before dinner wasn’t your … Continue reading Upper West Side Hearts

Downtown is blogerific again!

Ms. Uptown is giving kudos to Downtown again. Last night, Steel Pulse gave a stellar performance at Rockefeller Park. The setting sun provided a stunning backdrop for the hundreds moving and grooving to this 30-year-old, well-known roots reggae band from England. Young and old stood together and shook our bums … the energy was contagious. Stage was set – quite a backdrop. Steel Pulse. Jersey … Continue reading Downtown is blogerific again!

Downtown NYC is blogerific!

I’m an uptown girl, but not necessarily by Billy Joel’s standards. I live on 97th street and aside from the biannual Staten Island Ferry ride to visit the grandparents; I rarely schlep my 6-year-old son much lower than Union Square. Yesterday the weather was ripe for an afternoon on Manhattan’s Southern coast. We ventured down and were greeted by gorgeous waterfront views, larger than life … Continue reading Downtown NYC is blogerific!

Lonely on Park Avenue

Walking up Park Avenue this sunny afternoon, I noticed a homeless man with a standard cardboard sign. A business card, a billboard, a resume. For many homeless in New York City, these signs are their voices, their pleas, and even their stories (truth be questionable). And unlike so many other similarly scribbled placards, black marker on dirty brown cardboard –this particular one actually penetrated my … Continue reading Lonely on Park Avenue

About Me … Once Upon a Time

I put off writing the ABOUT ME section of my blog for a long time. Partly because the Me changes so often. Partly because I don’t know how to stop once I start writing (especially about Moi). I tried to write a bio-type blurb and 5 pages of narcissistic crap came out. So I started a memoir. In the meantime I feel like I owe … Continue reading About Me … Once Upon a Time
