photo friday: DUMBO and the Brooklyn Bridge
Camille and I had a lovely Sunday morning exploring the DUMBO flea market and eating lunch a picnic table in the midst of it all. From there, she took the train into the city to see a play. I decided to wander over the bridge. SO MANY PEOPLE. It really was not enjoyable. I’ll not
photo friday: fun food in the city
In our adventures in the city, we made time for some fun street food along the way. In addition to the usual bagels, pizza, and pretzels, we also had bubble tea and “fish ice cream” at Taiyaki.

As Camille made our way down from Rockefeller Center to Canal Street, we stopped in all her favorite stores, from Muji to Tiger. We also managed to find our way to ten or so bookstores, many of which were new to us.

Camille and I had a very full day in NYC, starting with a morning stroll around Brooklyn.

Our final tourist attraction while in NYC – One World Trade Center. Camille is not a fan of heights, but agreed to go with me anyway …

Camille and I just happened to be in NYC on Tonys Sunday, so we stopped by the Beacon Theater to see what all the fuss is about….

Who doesn’t love Grand Central? Even when we are not headed off on a train, we make a point of stopping in the station for the architecture, the vibe, the food, and the stores!

Overcrowded, crazy. Some people avoid it altogether. I hate crowds too, but I always get a thrill out of seeing all the lights and the energy.
photo friday: shopping in nyc (camille style)
A few hours to kill in Manhattan. No new exhibits to see. What do you do? Shop. But shop Camille-style. Books, pens, comics.
photo friday: off (and on) broadway
When Camille and I planned our trip to NYC in June, our biggest reason for going was to see “Hadestown”! Camille was so thrilled to get to see the play in its short workshop run. And I was enthralled. Good choice. After we made plans to see “Hadestown”. we shopped around for other plays we
photo friday: katz’s deli
After visiting the Brooklyn Flea Market, Camille and I headed into Manhattan to have lunch at Katz’s Deli. As I am a vegetarian, I wasn’t expecting to eat very much; we were there for the experience. And what an experience! Crowded and confusing, with multiple lines for various foods and drinks. But Camille and I

The Brooklyn brownstone that Camille and I stayed in on our latest trip to NYC was a block away from the Brooklyn Flea Market. Not the *big* one, but a smaller version, the Fort Greene Flea. Nevertheless, we had a lovely time exploring. I bought a new ring and Camille explored the booths, bought a

photo friday: society of illustrators
As I researched possible new things to do while in NYC, I looked into the possibility of comic museums. As I searched through the Society of Illustrators website, I saw that there would be an opening of “Point Of Vision: Celebrating Women Artists In Fantasy And Science Fiction”. While there was no mention of whether
photo friday: The MET
From The Cloisters, we headed back down and walked across the park to The MET. By that time, we were hungry, and the spots in the park had terrible vegetarian choices. We chose to eat at the museum cafeteria instead – not very good and incredibly expensive. I need to do a better job of
photo friday: the cloisters
On the second full day of our trip to NYC in June, Camille and I made our way to The Met Cloisters. It’s a long subway ride from Brooklyn to the very Upper West Side of Manhattan, but you exit into the lovely Fort Tryon Park. There’s a bit of a walk to the museum,
photo friday: corona park
As I mentioned in photo friday: queens museum, Camills and I ventured out to Queens. And to get to the museum, we had to walk. Walk through a really incredible park, Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Really incredible. Old World’s Fairgrounds incredible. A Parisian Style park, though a bit neglected. Even when we were done exploring
photo friday: queens museum
After years of having it on my “NYC wish list”, Camille and I finally had the time to hike on out to Queens and visit the Queens Museum. I had been expecting the museum to be an old, dusty place, but we were pleasantly surprised by the modern, open, airy spaces and the diverseness of
photo friday: brooklyn apartment
When Camille and I made a quick decision to head to NYC in June to see “Hadestown”, I began to search for a place to stay. The previous VRBO we stayed in was not available (I texted the owner directly …), so I looked for another in Brooklyn. Only a couple fit my intersection of
home away from home.
On our latest trip to NYC, Camille and I stayed in a nice brownstone apartment in Brooklyn. Staying in an apartment when we travel always makes us feel at home. We find our bagel place, our grocery store, our metro stop, and other local “favorites”. After only one day, we are “home”. We adjust to
