Quintessential Weekend

Haven

It's really easy to get lost in the craziness that is New York City. So many people crammed into such a small space and always in a hurry or a fuss. Everything is important here. That's why I think there is something magical about these cherry blossom trees. They are a brief oasis in an angular cityscape. They're already dropping petals, and I'll be sad when they are gone, although I suppose other trees and plants will start to bloom soon.
 
And you know, my view on cherry blossom trees is pretty similar to my view on Brooklyn. I love living in Brooklyn, even though sometimes it's a real pain to get home since walking is never an option from Manhattan. In Brooklyn there is space to breathe and places to hideaway. Your corner of the world truly feels like your own. And Manhattan never grows old or annoying or less charming because it is still a destination.

MIA

Promise I'm not dead. Here is photographic proof.... well I guess these could have been taken by anybody. You'll just have to trust me on this. Went to SoHo for shopping, sight seeing and last minute exploring. Here is some Marimekko fabric I can't afford. And I also found a place called Gatsby's across the street from a place called Firefly. :)

Most of my time has been spent in the basement print studio of my fancy new offices. I'm still working out how to fit in a social life and personal time around my work schedule (hence the scarce posts lately). Social life usually wins. I'm starting to see why New York is the city that never sleeps. // Sometimes I get sent on errands on beautiful days. The weather has been fantastic! 

Aforementioned social life has been mostly making new friends and going to bars and eating delicious food. I'm not complaining, it's been fun.

Settling

 A restaurant that only serves mac and cheese... otherwise known as heaven. I've yet to have a mediocre meal in this city. // McCarren Park! Scoping out my springtime haunts

Oh Williamsburg. You are ridiculous sometimes. // But you get bonus points for having murals of robots.
