My right hand is bothering me from a minor neck problem so instead of another wordspastic post, I figured I’d share some of the reasons I love New York…
The New York Stock Exchange knows how to light up the night…
The architecture and hidden oasises (is that a word?)
The brownstones of Brooklyn
Top of the Rock lightshow that responds to movement
Cherry Blossoms at Brooklyn Botanic Gardens
What do you love about New York?

My new love in New York is the Highline. It’s brilliant design! Wonderful to see folks of all ages and sensibilities come and go above the streetscape of 10th Avenue.

Haven’t been over there. I heard it’s very cool.
When I go to the park, I like to bring my dog so we tend to spend time in Battery Park and along the esplanade which are closer to where we live

Sorry to read that your neck is bothering you again. But on the upside, we get to see great pictures
You really take amazing photos; I think the one with the New York Stock Exchange is my favorite.

Believe it or not, that was taken with a cell phone. I really love taking pictures. Before digital cameras I used to fill up photo albums like there was no tomorrow.

I love New York, because of its energy. New York is my psychologist. I don’t have an actual psychologist, but I have New York. Every time I go there I feel like I’ve had a 100 hours of psychotherapy. If I am depressed, all I need is a dose of NYC. Energy, energy and more energy! The past few days I spent in NY, I woke up every morning, and literary yelled out of my hotel window: I LOVE you NY. I love you.

Maryam, beautifully said. It’s clear why your manuscript got requested by agents at the conference!
After a year living away from the city, New York brought me back to life and helped me put things in perspective on this visit. There’s a definite magic to the city. So glad we had the chance to meet and lunch together.

Hi Naomi! So glad you enjoyed it. New York was my home for many years. I saw so many wonderful things. Sure there were tough moments and bad times too, but overall I still love New York.

These photos are beautiful! You have a great eye for color and composition. Do you get back to NYC often?

Thanks Naomi! I love taking pictures. I just migrated 32,000 photos to my new laptop (pics I took just from 2007-2012). I try to go in for writing conferences and to see my friends and cousins who still live there. Probably 4-6 times a year. I can still navigate myself all over the city. But it’s not quite the same as living there.

Hi Kourtney, I’ve created a link from your post “I Love New York” to “Unique New York”, so my visitors can go see even more of the city.

Thanks so much Naomi! I hope they enjoy my pics. Yours are so fun to look at. I felt like I was right along side your family having a quintessential New York experience!

Thank you! What I find interesting is that the posts complement each other so well–different views of the same city.

Very true. I tried to sum up some of the hidden treasures found over the years. Your post reminded me cool Times Square can be when you don’t commute through there at rush hour for work everyday.

One word—YUM. I miss New York, and totally enjoyed the cyber visit.
Thanks, lady!

LOL. The food is what I miss most. Thai, Indian, Chinese, Malaysian. Hundreds of restaurants all at your fingertips. Glad you liked my picture post.
