They say we’re going to have a real winter this year. We’ve been spoiled (or not) the past two years with barely any snow and mild temperatures. I’m looking forward to seeing the city blanketed in snow, it’s quite a peaceful view. On a winter wonderland walk last weekend I stumbled upon a lone Christmas tree sitting in a row boat in the pond at the Central Park Boathouse. How adorable is that?
My vintage aluminum tree is still in storage but I found this photo today and it made me smile. It also made me more than a little nostalgic for my former apartment in Boston. So bright, spacious, beautiful and spacious. Sigh.

I ♥ this one – Not a Real Doctor. You can find it here at Buy Me Brunch.
2 weeks ago I went to the Times Square Wishing Wall to write down my hopes and dreams on a tiny piece of confetti that will be released into the air on New Years Eve when the ball drops. I also got to see the New Year’s Eve ball in person, which looked a lot different that I expected, in a good way. It’s constructed out of Waterford Crystal and changes colors, I had no idea. Here’s a preview of what you can expect:
And here’s the wall where I posted my hopes and dreams for 2014:
I have a good feeling about 2014 :)
I’ve lived in this magical city 2 years now, and still love it as much as I ever have ♥
I’m kind of obsessed with NYC during the month of December. It might just be my favorite month of the entire year. I love everything about the lights, the energy, the people from all over the world milling around my city. Monday night I finally saw the Rockettes dance at Radio City Music Hall, so much fun.
Last Saturday I spent the afternoon at the Guggenheim checking out the massive collection of work by New York City artist Christopher Wool. I walked in so excited to see this work, and walked out high on inspiration.
I wanted to go on the roof of the Met all summer, and ended up making my way there on the very last day it was open for the rest of the year. Phew! Those views are so beautiful.
The fantastic painting above is by Al Held. My favorite exhibit during this visit was The Refusal of Time by William Kentridge, a video installation with a moving sculpture. I closely related to this piece, it got me thinking about some issues that I’m currently struggling with internally. I felt quite moved and thankful that we stumbled into this kind of set back exhibit.
