“Am headed to New York. Any recommendations?” I get asked this question often. It was my intent to jot down 8-10 high points but folks, there’s no way I can stuff my love for that city into a bulleted list. So, here you go … feel free to share with
Well. You’ve not arrived till you’ve done yoga on the roof of an 11th story building overlooking the Hudson River … as the lights twinkle at sunset across the stunning George Washington Bridge. While contorting my body into dog and warrior positions, all I wanted to do was jump up
Just after our plane touched down, the flight attendant announced, “Welcome to the greatest city on the planet!” I grinned big ’cause I couldn’t agree more. I deplaned into a brand new, sparkling terminal at LaGuardia and, of course, asked a young woman to take my photo. Yes, cheesy! I

Just got home after three quick days in New York. There’s so much to write about, so many stories I want to share. But I was particularly touched by one late in the day, just as I was about to leave for the airport. I’m dying to tell you about
It’s nearly 2:00am. I am just settling in after an exhausting day of shooting. Being back in New York feels great. I started out early this morning by visiting my old Saturday haunt, the outdoor market at Abingdon Square. It was a bit chilly but that didn’t seem to deter the
