When I mentioned to friends last week that I was heading down to the city for a couple of days, they suggested that I visit Governor's Island. Although I often stay downtown in the financial district, I'd never really considered taking the ferry to any island other than Staten and knew nothing about Governor's Island. … Continue reading My favorite governor in New York State – Governor’s Island

In the flesh – Princess Leia’s bikini
As we traveled to NYC last Saturday morning my oldest son brought my attention to an event currently being held at the Discovery Center, Star Wars and the Power of Costume.

As someone who doesn’t often attend gallery openings (read: hardly ever), I was a bit out of my element, and, as a person … Continue reading No sleep till Brooklyn*
Yoga to the People
Jumping on a train for a Friday night show may conjure up a bit of je ne sais quoi, but trust me when I tell you, for me, it upends the entire weekend. I enjoy easing into the weekend. Fridays often mean some sort of exercise or maybe my monthly massage, not a dash to … Continue reading Yoga to the People
