Happy Holi-The Holi Festival Marks the Beginning of Spring

Dear Spring, welcome. After the past few days in New York City, it might finally be safe to say spring has arrived. Actually, it arrived  a month ago.

Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC

The sun sets in the west.  In New York City that means it sets in the dense suburbs of New Jersey. Couple that with tall buildings, crowded streets, and the frantic end of day commute and the city doesn’t offer an idyllic setting to capture a sunset. But as you learned through the sunsets stories […]
