Old New York
God I love New York and all its character. Look at what this city looked like 43 years ago and look where it is now. Here are a few of my favorite photos from a trove, compiled by this guy, of NYC in the 70’s and 80’s.

My New York state of mind.
My Song of the End of Summer
My Labor Day Weekend was pretty fantastic, I mean… have you seen my recent instagram posts? I visited all of the following NYC bars and thankfully made it home safe and in one piece last night, minus my voice. I think I left it at Reunion. Saturday – Manny’s on 2nd (Ohio State football game) – […]
MoreGreenpoint BK Instagram Diary
Thanks to a work-related photoshoot, I’ve had the pleasure of venturing to Greenpoint BK for the first time. I’m definitely unfamiliar with any and all of Brooklyn, but I’m excited to have the opportunity explore new sights within my NYC! I know, I have a great eye for photography right? Follow me for more.
MoreEuro-Vandals & Tagged Up Subway Cars
It has come to my attention that Europeans from Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland, Denmark and Norway, come to NYC to vandalize, or well, tag up/ create a “piece”, on subway cars for street cred back home. According to Gothamist, a few years ago, a Daily News report found that 70% of elaborate subway car graffiti is created […]
MoreI Can Totally Be an NYC Tour Guide
Mom lives in the UK now and as the “New Yorker” her co-workers around the world will now rely on her for NYC “must-see” recommendations if/when they travel to NYC. Very exciting with the exception that my mom worked in west-bumble-F New Jersey for several years before she moved, and she isn’t as in tune and she […]
MoreGrand Central Whisper Gallery
Mystery solved. Jesus, finally! Not that I commute as often through Grand Central Station anymore, but I remember several times coming in through the downstairs tracks and coming up to see groups of people hovered in the corners of the arches on the mid-level, between downstairs and main level – by the Oyster Bar. I […]
MoreKale In Me Softly: Blogologues
I featured them on my “Currently Obsessed” last week and for good reason. “Blogologues”, by Lively Productions, is a must see show and I can say that with authority because I saw the 11th production of Blogologues last week and it was amazing. This production was titled “Kale In Me Softly” and like the last […]
MoreIf You Need a Cab: HAILO
Let’s just call it like it is: yellow cabs in NYC are about as difficult to hail as a bartender is at a crowded bar or club on a Friday night. One of the 14,000 drivers will eventually come to you, but it’s going to take some WORK. Whether NYC is actually overpopulated or not, […]
MoreMetroCard Stages of Grief
That’s it folks, I’m self-diagnosing. I’ve been in MetroCard Damage Grief for the past couple of days, and as of 9:00 this morning I’ve finally reached acceptance. For reference, the 5 stages of grief, or DABDA, per Kubler-Ross, are: Denial | Anger | Bargaining | Depression | Acceptance Monday morning I made the bold, smart, and “economic” decision to purchase […]
MoreGinger Snapt(ed) Me at Lips NYC
There’s something about living in one of the greatest city’s in the world and not exploring every corner of it. It’s stupid…that’s what it is. I’m a fool. Thanks to the likes of my Alabama clique though, I’ve had the privilege of doing some fun activities lately, i.e Sunday Brunch at Lips NYC. Go ahead, ask me where […]
