Can’t believe it’s seven weeks since I posted my list. It was right after Pesach and my schedule was slowly opening up as the semester wound down. I’m pleased that I’ve checked off half the list so far and done a few other nice things around the city.
The weather is getting beautiful, the days are longer, and my schedule is opening. I’m excited to get back into taking myself on little day trips. Here are a few places I want to go in NYC:
Yesterday I had an appointment in middle of the afternoon so I took the rest of the day off. I knew what I wanted to do with the time off — go uptown to Conservatory Garden in Central Park. So I started off my lunch break walking from my office in Chelsea to Patis Times Square. A long walk but …
Hi, all! It’s nice to be back here. I hope you are well. Recently I went to the city for an appointment, and I decided to make a little trip out of it. I walked from the doctor at Seventh Avenue and West 57th Street all the way to the Metropolitan Museum of Art at Fifth and 82nd. I …

For literally years I wanted to find a voice teacher but I stalled because I didn’t know precisely what to be looking for in a teacher or what to expect …
New York City is the greatest resource for outings big and small. Here are a few places I’ve been and enjoyed:
School’s almost out for the summer. I’m hoping to get to a few fun things over vacation (maybe another bucket list?). I always enjoy visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Here are a few tips for visiting the museum: Take advantage of the frequent free guided tours. Groups form at the end of the Great Hall behind …
A few weeks ago, I went to an open rehearsal of the New York City Philharmonic. I wanted to go for a while and all of my friends had work that day (and to be perfectly honest, a Philharmonic rehearsal might not be most of my friends’ idea of fun ;-)). I think I was the youngest member of the …
Earlier this month I had a day off of work and went into NYC to visit the Neue Galerie. I wanted to see Klimt’s Woman in Gold (if you must know!). It was such a nice, peaceful outing. The museum is beautiful and interesting, and small enough that you can take it all in in one relaxed visit. I spent about …
