Taking a Food Tour is my new favorite thing to do when traveling. I skip the double decker bus and sign up for a walking tour, where participants meander and sample foods while learning about the area. Since I’ve always been curious about the West Village in NYC, a food tour of that...
I’ve been walking the High Line in New York City since it opened in 2009. It was interesting and novel and a bit of an adventure then. Now it is a major landmark and “go to” part of every tourist’s agenda in this fabulous city. The area around the High Line in the...
I rather “over did” the Museum thing in NYC not too long ago. Four Museums in Four days. After spending ten days in Iceland (which I loved) I needed the bit of urban culture. A fix, if you will. NYC is a great spot for Museums—more than eighty three in a very small space. Let me […]

I spent a couple of gloomy, rainy gray days in New York City recently. Not what I have often enjoyed in the Big Apple in December. No “Elf” like scenes of Central Park or Santas brushing snow off their Coke-a-Cola red suits. That combined with a bad case of tendonitis in my foot...
I’ve never really spent much time in the area of Manhattan called the West Village. In fact the area between mid-town and Soho has always been a bit of a mystery. Streets are a bewildering labyrinth of winding lanes and confusing intersections. It is truly an area one can get “lost” in....
