Taking time to stop and smell the crazy people
Because I’m always on my bike, I’m realizing more and more that I’m not experiencing the city in the same way as I did the first 5 years. While I’d never give up biking, I do miss the long walks on the weekends or on my commute - people watching, snapping photos and just taking it all in. Today, I decided to ditch my bike and do just that. I set off early and headed all the way downtown, then worked my way up from the New Amsterdam Market to the Hester Street Fair to Union Square.
It was a good reminder to slow things down every once in a while - stop focusing on the A to B and enjoy what’s in between - because let’s be honest, we’re in New York and there’s A LOT in between!

They’re giving tickets @ 72nd St Riverside Park for those not dismounting their bikes - watch out! Apparently those signs I blogged about were legit after all.
