Sunday Snapshot- April 19

Posted on April 19th, 2015

I admit that living in New York, I just miss nature. New York is exciting, but it’s just so highly unnatural. I’ve been relishing glimpses of flowers while running in the park and on my walks home from work this week.

Captured a shot of these beauties on Fifth Ave.  And who said New York doesn’t like pink?

Speaking of pink… Lilly for Target celebrated its launch in Bryant Park this week, and it was so much fun!  I posted a bunch of photos from a fun day here.  Watching the girls from the print studio work was also an excellent reminder that I have no artistic talent, whatsoever.  For what it’s worth, I can make a mean collage though.

Saturday was the first truly beautiful day of 2015 for Manhattan.  Real talk: I LOVE sunshine.  Can’t get enough.  At this time of year, emerging from a gloomy and difficult winter, I sometimes tear up feeling the sun on my face.  It happens?  I celebrated the best way I know how: an 8 mile run in Central Park, and taking myself to brunch.  The French bistro around the corner from my apartment has such a wonderful vibe, and I got a perfect table on the sidewalk where I camped out with a few of my favorite things: Vanity Fair, crepes, and pommes frites.  A rare combination!

As the spring day transitioned to a spring evening, I met one of my absolute best friends, Hannah, for dinner in Soho.  This month, we are celebrating our 14th year of friendship!  It’s so special to spend time with someone who knows you so well– nothing requires extra explanation or justification.  We went to Delicatessen, and because I had had a big brunch I had a salad for dinner…. with a side of macaroni and cheese

Bonus: This dreamy sight of a fellow diner.  He was reading an intellectual piece (Economic Facts & Fallacies), and was super fit but ordered a cheeseburger and fries.  You can bet I submitted my stealth shot to Hot Dudes Reading!

And a little dose of perspective as we kick off this week!
