Autumn In New York City

October 19, 2016

Summer returned to New York City this week. Yesterday, the mercury topped 82 degrees, which is unheard of for mid-October. New Yorkers are soaking up the “July in October” weather, walking around in summer clothing and eating lunch in the parks.

Even though the weather is unusually warm, it’s wonderful to see apartment buildings and shops adorned with autumn decor. Even corner bodegas decorate with pumpkins and and scarecrows. This is one of the things that I love about New York City!

Sunday Farm Stand Shopping

September 11, 2016

I love growing my own vegetables, but I just don’t have the time and energy to grow everything. For me, Sunday is the perfect farm stand day. I love looking over and choosing from what has been grown locally. Besides supporting local farmers the fruit and vegetables always taste so much better than mass produced store bought produce. My advice is to savor the end of the summer season and go out to your local farm stand before it’s too late.

Fractured Fairytales Of Politics

August 19, 2016

I don’t know about you, but I for one, am tired of the constant stream of political rhetoric and, hey, it’s still early. Perhaps we should all just have an ongoing pizza party until after the election. I’d vote for that!

Spring

May 26, 2016

One of the things that I love about New York City is the abundance of interesting signs. I love this sign that describes spring so well.

Seder Plate

April 21, 2016

This afternoon I was down in the west village and stopped into Citarella Gourmet Market on 6th Avenue. The place was packed to the gefilte fish with midday shoppers who seemed to be mostly shopping for tomorrow evening’s Passover dinner. I was surprised to see that they were selling prepared Seder Plates complete with hard-boiled egg, lamb shank bone, haroseth, horseradish, parsley, and watercress. Just goes to show that I learn a lot when I leave my apartment and go on little adventures in the city.

NYC Fruit Vendors

April 19, 2016

It’s finally the most perfect weather ever and it’s nice to see the fruit and vegetable vendors set up on the street corners. I say hello to this friendly vendor in the mornings when I’m on my way to the gym.

Grand Central Market

April 13, 2016

I needed ingredients for a dinner that I’m making for Friday evening and am fortunate enough to live near Grand Central Station, which is where the beautiful Grand Central Market is located. I don’t go there often enough, but when I do go I’m always happy to see what’s available. I never go, however, before 3pm as it’s typically packed with the lunch crowd and tourists before then.
