One of my favorite places to hang out in New York City is the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This fascinating building is more than just a collection of beautiful artwork. It is a place to connect with interesting people who are doing the same thing you are- spending the afternoon in a remarkable city. You […]
A few years ago, when my fiance first moved to New Jersey from Bermuda, I was adamant about taking him around to experience the autumn. He had never really experienced the fall and the changing of leaves or anything like it, so I took him to one of my favorite spots in New York City, […]
I am not from the city of New York City, or even the state of New York, but a while back a family friend moved to New York City and my husband, sons and I have loved our trips there to visit them. Fall, I must say is the most beautiful time to visit New […]
