a summer night at winter’s eve in nyc

Figured you wouldn’t believe me unless I took a picture of the temperature out tonight for the Twelfth Annual Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square.

Tonight’s festival kicked off with the neighborhood tree lighting ceremony, lots of free entertainment, and food tastings from the local restaurants here in the hood of the Upper West Side! YUMMERS!

cheers to the little guys

As much as the big balloons stole the show at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade this year and every year, to me the little ones are just as important! Hope everyone had a fabulous Turkey Weekend!

meet ms. columbia

Name a parade here in NYC and most likely you’ve seen Ms. Columbia, aka Lada Gaga’s Godmother. Always in tow with poodle, Carino and his (oops..I guess it would be her?) bird.

Captured them at the Easter parade this year…and they also made an appearance at the very end of the Halloween Costume Party Skate in Central Park. Yep, couldn’t pass up the last opportunity to see my skaters! Ms. Columbia is a trip! Would love to see the closet of accessories! God I love this city!!

happy halloween from nyc!

One of my most favorite activities during Halloween in NYC…the Halloween Extravaganza and Procession of the Ghouls at St. John the Divine. This is my third year and it just gets better and better!

A few favorites during the night…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The silent movie this year – The Phantom of the Opera from 1928 – was incredible!

A must see and a night you’ll always remember!

the value of water

Isn’t it so easy to take water for granted? The exhibit’s title is what drew me in. Check out The Value of Water at St. John Divine Cathedral in the Morningside Heights area of Manhattan.

The exhibition displays works of painters, sculptors and media artists whose goal is to strengthen our awareness and prompt our imaginations! Well I must say Chrysanne Stathacos did just that with her exhibit of 7 Vessels. One of many on display through March 2012.

look up!

Doesn’t it seem we’re always in a hurry and we often don’t take the time to look up?

Well looking UP in NYC is a must. Otherwise you’ll miss out on a number of architecturally significant buildings in styles spanning many historical and cultural periods.

One of the many reasons I love living in this city is the architecture and it starts within my own neighborhood, the Upper West Side. Great afternoon event learning about historical buildings within a couple blocks from my front door. The bonus? Lead by local Upper West Sider, photographer and professor of photography at NYU…John Hart. Thanks to Landmark West for putting it together and for John’s photography and history lessons!

Some favorites…

They certainly don’t make them like they used to and thank god we have preservation groups ready to pounce at any moment!
