In my attempt to recreate last year's Christmas in the desert, I bought myself a week's worth of unlimited yoga classes at the Hot Yoga Spot in Stuyvesant Plaza.

12 Days of Christmas – Dining DelSo
On the 8th day it was time to check out the bar(tenders) at a favorite neighborhood joint - New World Bistro Bar. This place has been such a huge asset to the DelSo area.

Traditional and classic, it fit him well. When I asked how he had come to own such a vintage jacket, he quickly, and proudly, said it belonged … Continue reading Rivers of green and blue tears
