Love Naxos! We timed dinner near the port at The Naxos Apothecary outside perfectly. Great people watching and the sunset was spectacular. We finished in time to walk up to the temple for more sunset views. Capped it off with a walk around the main area, I recommend Kitron Cafe for great cocktails.

I am sharing this FB memory from 2 years ago. It was NYC at its best, strangers sharing in the joy together. There were tears, smiles and awe.

Watching this embarrassing RFK Jr. session and starting to understand the creepy Vimergy “save yourself” ads NY1 repeatedly airs every morning are all part of this MAHA bs.

I don’t have that feature yet but do have this info now. There should be a way to communicate that at this Lex/63rd station entrance the elevators are hotter than saunas.

I went to this exhibit to see Michelle Obama’s portrait and was just blown away by all the pieces. I highly recommend watching the very short film about the artist and her technique. I had so many favorites!

Happy Caturday! I finally took this book off my TBR pile. A few pages in I wondered what was up with this charming family now, especially in this political climate, and I was shocked!

I just went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out my faucet. It seems that your faucet is a Glacier Bay also and meets the AB 1953 lead standard - this more stringent than the EPA standard (or what I understand from the internet)

Had a fun night in Jersey City yesterday and took this pic on the way home to the UES. This is the uptown 4 at 11:30 pm, it got even more crowded just after I snapped this. Felt the need to document this for our whiny Dept of Transportation Secretary.

I LOLed when this popped up on my phone. Both at the idea of gifting this to my 73 y/o mom and the idea of my teenage sons presenting me with this "treat".

One of my fav memories- watching Ruschell Boone of NY1 breaking the news to AOC about her win! There weren’t other reporters there since they assumed the other guy would win.

If you are in Manhattan and looking for a pączki today, I highly recommend this food truck. Just finished mine - so good!

I went out for coffee this morning and saw a woodpecker on my block - first time ever! I thanked congestion pricing for this cool sighting.

Yes! I was eating sorta healthy already but high cholesterol runs in my family. I started eating oatmeal with a cup of frozen fruit (often berries) with a couple TBS of chia seeds every morning. After a year+ I saw some positive movement.

My commute won’t cost more $, I’m just walking to/from the subway. I would love if dangerous jerks like this driver could be significantly fined for breaking the traffic laws.

My cat is definitely working remotely for this Apple team. I have to hide the case otherwise she is knocking it about, hoping to make the earbuds fly out.
