Pier 81 New York City In an attempt to make the most of our summer and the seemingly endless list of activities to do in NYC, my friends and I made a shared summer calendar this year. One of the…
March was kind of an insane/stressful month for me for all sorts of reasons, so I tried to keep up with my Photo a Day project but just let go of my blog for a little while. Part of the…
One wintry night in February, I went to see the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead performed by the Acting Company with my friend Kim. I got to the city a bit early for dinner, which was a good thing…
I was extremely pumped about doing this walk because: a) I’d never done a Gramercy walk before and b) We were doing the walk on my day off, so I was expecting a lot less stress due to the lack…
Deciding where to go on a foggy, then rainy Saturday afternoon was not easy. I had originally thought of doing the “Top of the Rock” for the FMS Photo a Day prompt “Looking Down”, but I decided it wouldn’t be…

I went for a walk in Battery Park during lunch time to find some subjects. I liked my first shot best of all. The earlier sign prompted me to grab a coffee and…
Corner Bistro Burger This is one of those walks where, I had a GREAT time, I ate so much and shopped so much, yet inexplicably took photos that are not-so-great. For example, this photo: Shoe-shaped Chocolate @ Li-Lac Chocolates I…
The last time I attempted to do a walk in SoHo back in 2011, I ended up hitting mostly NoLita, and didn’t actually get to do much shopping. This time I actually listed down SoHo locations, and had a lovely,…
To be honest, I have never been completely satisfied with any of the Filipino restaurants that I’ve been to in NYC. Most have a good selection of dishes that are “pwede na” (translation: good enough), but there’s usually nothing that’s…
