I spent Christmas 2011 with my very Italian New York family. My Grandparents (in their late 70s), my parents, and my boyfriend all hustled out into the city bundled from head to toe. It wasn’t snowing, but it was still the typical New York cold! We joined the non-natives in Rockefeller Center and admired the […]
I moved to NYC in September of 2009 because I didn’t know where else to go. I had graduated from college and spent the summer living out of a duffel bag. I fell in love with the city instantly. I stayed for three years, and loved every minute of it. My second Christmas in NYC […]
Christmas in New York is/was a fabulous time. One year we, my family and I, went into Manhattan on Christmas Eve and walked around Times Square only to find the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit at the Times Square Museum. It was a lot of fun and a great time to think about God and Jesus. […]
I can still remember the day like it was yesterday. My girlfriend and I had traveled to New York City for the holidays, and as it was our first time there, we wanted to explore Manhattan a bit. What we didn’t know was that, entirely by accident, we came upon Serendipity III. It only took […]

In December 2001, my friends and I – a fast-talking Yankee from Maine, a homesick Dutch woman, and me, a small-town Pennsylvanian girl – were desperately trying to pass our first exams as college freshmen. It had been a rough fall with the 9/11 attacks and everything, and NYC was very much on our minds. […]
Christmas of 2009 was a very special Christmas for me. I had the chance to spend Christmas in New York City. A trip from Florida to New York City is always a special occurrence but this one was particular special since I got to spend time with my younger brother, whom I haven’t seen since […]
My daughter was going on a seventh grade field trip to New York City just before Christmas. There was a need for chaperons and I volunteered to accompany the class on one of the buses. We arrived in New York City in the morning and the class was split up into small groups. I was […]
One Christmas I bought my wife tickets to see the Rockettes. Our tickets were for 9:00 AM and when we got up, there had been a blizzard through the night. We were never going to make it. We called Radio City and the gentleman told us not to worry, get there when we get there […]
