About Me

What I love about New York: wash and fold laundry; bushels of lilacs at the Union Square Greenmarket; Cafe Pick-Me-Up's rooibos tea; Universal News shops (British Vogue on time!); Soho shopping; Thomkins Square Park dog run; the Great Lawn in Central Park; brownstones and stoops; the right to happily, unabashedly pick through other people's trash on the street.
