Where to Stay in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC? – Ink48

by on January 26, 2012 in Where to Stay?

Hell’s Kitchen. Today this Manhattan neighborhood certainly doesn’t deserve its nickname, and in the last ten years the midtown-west location has truly transformed.  Today, some even label it as trendy and chic. Many new hotels have opened in the neighborhood including most of the major brands. They realized that when you visit New York City […]

My 9/11 Memorial Cobblestone

My 9/11 Memorial Cobblestone

by on September 8, 2011 in Reflection

One Tuesday morning a city, a nation, and the world changed. September 11th changed everything. We all have our story. I worked downtown and walked home completely covered in ash. The day found me frightened, sad, and disillusioned. Over time those feelings changed and so did my life, but that day is one I can […]

A Slice of New York in Charleston

A Slice of New York in Charleston

by on January 13, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine

On King Street a gentleman stated, “pizza by the slice.” I stopped. He extended his hand to give me a pamphlet. Puzzled, I thought was “by the slice” really a novelty or a selling point? I guess with the American restaurant scene becoming a “chain nation,” it’s true. A single slice might actually be hard […]

Sunset Sunday – Walking the Brooklyn Bridge, New York

Sunset Sunday – NYC Marathon, Central Park

On New York City Marathon Sunday, you can usually find me in Central Park when the sun sets, but I start that day by waking up early to watch the race (the professionals), enjoy a long leisurely brunch and then head to experience one New York City’s best experiences, the joy of cheering for all […]

Cheering for Everyone, the Joy of the NYC Marathon

Cheering for Everyone, the Joy of the NYC Marathon

by on November 4, 2010 in Destination

This year I will miss an annual tradition. This weekend I will not be there to support the thousands who lace up and run the NYC marathon from the sidelines. But even from a distance (I am in Mexico) I will take a moment on Sunday to cheer. To mark the occasion, I decided to […]

Sunset Sunday – Upstate New York

Sunset Sunday – Upstate New York

by on October 24, 2010 in Sunset Sunday

A family reunion took me to upstate New York this summer. To be honest, I held little appreciation for my state outside of what I knew. Growing up, New York consisted of Long Island and the city. And when people mentioned New York – well that was New York City.  Ignorance might be bliss at times, […]

Sunset Sunday – A Horse on the Hudson, New York

by on October 3, 2010 in Guest Post, Sunset Sunday

When I met Mark, he told me his photography carefree ‘salad days’ were behind him. Just as I was getting serious about my own travel pictures and images, he was telling me how difficult it can be to earn a living as a professional photographer. But, now since he shifted some of his focus and […]
