April in Manhatten

I love New York in the springtime. The cherry blossom trees add to the village's nostalgic appeal, the Central Park greenery turns the landscape into an attraction for people of all ages and types, and the gentle sunlight highlights the eclectic assembly of Manhattan pedestrians. I was lucky enough to experience a beautiful spring morning in NYC today after seeing Mike Birbiglia's My Girlfriend's Boyfriend last night at the Greenwich House Theater. In addition to meandering through Manhattan in April or May, I highly recommend seeing the show; it was both hysterical and sweet.

New York, New York

On Wednesday, my girlfriends and I went into the city to see hot chip at central park summer stage. Each and every time I go into the city, I feel as if I have escaped the secluding bubble of my petite hometown, even though I'm realistically only an hour train ride from home. As a child, I would spend every other weekend in Manhattan due to my father's relocation to Greenwich village following my parents' divorce. I think it's fair to say that new york has forever been my second home. this particular trip, I stumbled upon the John Lennon "Imagine" memorial in the park; something which I had surprisingly never yet seen. new york constantly amazes me by continuously diversifying my intellectual thought and imagination by simply presenting more and more of its' character. below is a list of the many things I love about the city that never sleeps, and the city that never ceases to bore me.
