Night view from my room at the Cooper Square Hotel on 5th and Bowery. The top on the Empire State building was lit up in green on St. Patty’s Day.

Cool drizzled-tar street art outside the Nespresso shop. Ran across this while out shopping shortly after arriving in NYC.

This is where the legendary CBGBs used to be on Bowery. Now a John Varvatos store, there is a jacket here I loved, but would have to live in my car for a year to afford.

John and Nancy walking into DBGB Restaurant on Bowery. Our menu included Diver Scallops, steak tartare, tripe, bone marrow and imported beers customized to our personal tastes. Yum!

Crowded Times Square outside the Palace Theater, where I saw Priscilla Queen of the Desert.

A still from Priscilla Queen of the Desert the Musical. I got to see the second to last preview before opening night. One of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen. Highly Recommended!

Peels Cafe – a really cute breakfast joint on Bowery that looks like a white-washed country house on the inside. John and Nancy like it so much they went three times.

This is the building on Broadway, between Houston and Bleecker, where I went to a yoga class at Strala yoga, an attitude-free yoga place started by former model Tara Stiles.

7A Cafe on 7th and Avenue A – Recommended by a friend, I had a delicious Lobster salad sandwich on pumpernickel with happy hour White Sangria.

This is the private loft where we got to see many of the amazing new frames we’ll soon have from Anne et Valentin, Kirk Originals, Bevel, Francis Klein, and Theo Eyewear.

This is the ‘SuperMoon’ as they were calling it, from the roof-top party we went to in the Meat Packing District. Amazing views of the city all around!

A belly dancer from the roof-top party. She balanced that sword on her head and danced around. Crazy fun!
