There is just so much I like about the Lower East Side, and because the area is so big, it’s taking me quite a while to write this blog post. LES is my favourite part of the city, and while we were staying in Midtown, we made our way down to the Lower East Side…

Are you a committed or a serial nomad
To begin, I don’t care what you call yourself. Nomad is just one label. It is a bit like trying to define “senior.” I am not a traveller – I travel as much as possible. I don’t know if others of you feel this way, but for the fun of it, I’ve concluded that I…
Exploring Harlem in New York City
I only made it to Harlem about three times while we were here, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I took the Harlem Free Tours By Foot to make the most of it. Harlem, once the worst place in NYC, is now a must-visit destination for those seeking a taste of New York City’s diverse cultural tapestry….
Exploring Manhattan’s Hidden Gems: Bryant Park and More
When it comes to parks in Manhattan, Central Park often takes center stage. I won’t be talking about Central Park, as you can easily pick up a map and read all about it elsewhere. But beyond this iconic green oasis lies a treasure trove of lesser-known parks, like Bryant Park, that have played a significant…
Times Square: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
As we end our stay here in New York City, I will start a series on my experiences in the various districts of Manhattan that I have enjoyed on numerous occasions. My first will be about Times Square. I’ve decided to pull each of the various districts out as a separate blog post so you…

With so many parades to choose from, you can experience the rich diversity and culture of New York City firsthand. So why not…
What is worse? Dog Poo in Paris or New York
Let me say that any discussion about dog poo in this post is not a criticism of the poor animal but rather the owners. I would also like to add that I love Paris, where I lived for six years, and New York, where I have been several times and will now stay in Manhattan…
The Guggenheim Museum and Nick Caves
MembershipsMembershipsSaturday, we visited the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Some people may tell you that it is the building and not the artwork that is the most impressive. It is true that the building itself is quite a design feat. The most distinctive feature of the museum is its unique architectural design, which features a cylindrical…
We have settled in Manhattan – Swoon
Well, we have settled in Manhattan. We are so fortunate. No, I realize that this won’t be as relaxing for Louise, and she has to work weekdays. New York City is in OverDrive, and so there’s a lot of stress and pressure on her. For me, it is pure joy. Our two-bedroom apartment is in…
