NYC's San Gennaro

This past September, I happened to be working in NYC during the feast of San Gennaro in Little Italy... if you haven't seen it, it's quite a spectacle... mixed together with some truly delicious food.
My trip to NYC this year not only overlapped with the festival, but also with a one-day bus trip my family was taking... below: myself, cousin Stacey, Dad and Mom on the bridge overlooking 10th Ave at the Highline (see former post).

This June, I'll be celebrating Stacey's marriage as one of her four bridesmaids...

Such a cool spot... and again, if you haven't stopped by the HighLine... grab a coffee from Chelsea Market or a cupcake from Magnolia's (like we did) and go for a stroll.

And if you happen to be in town for the San Gennaro, it's truly a feast you won't want to miss.

The end of summer...

Seems so long ago, but wow did that time fly by. And in the midst of these days of negative temperatures and blustery winds... I wanted to remind myself of the joy that was the end of summer.

I spent those last few warm weekends last August and September, at the beach:

and in the sunshine of the busy parks of New York:

As I gaze out my office windows, and the crazy college student heads to the gym across the quad in orange basketball shorts... I remember, Spring is almost here again.
