Here are some random and shameless mobile device snapshots and selfies from this busy, busy month. Here is some music to serve as soundtrack 😉 /And I’m doing just fine I’m always landing on my feet In the nick of time And by the skin of my teeth; I ain’t gonna stress ‘Cause the worstContinue reading “October Mobile Scrapbook”

Hopeless Wanderer: STH/ST/SEAPRT/NYC, Cider Feast Edition

By: Gabriela Yareliz I decided that not another day could go by with me not visiting one of my favorite places in the city–South Street Seaport District. I love the crisp, windiness by the sea and the boats. So, I grabbed my camera (partner-in-crime) and wandered down to the Financial District. The day was perfect; notContinue reading “Hopeless Wanderer: STH/ST/SEAPRT/NYC, Cider Feast Edition”

A Philosophy of Walking: Living Deeply

“The eternal child is one who has never seen anything so beautiful, because he doesn’t compare. […] But the walker who marvels while walking (the blue of the rocks in a July evening light, the silvery green of olive leaves at noon, the violet morning hills) has no past, no plans, no experience. He hasContinue reading “A Philosophy of Walking: Living Deeply”

Unpacking

By: Gabriela Yareliz In life, some of us travel light, others of us have more to carry. Sometimes, we make many stops in different destinations, and we don’t have the time to unpack. If you don’t have time to completely unpack, then you haven’t reached your ultimate destination, yet. It means you will go far.Continue reading “Unpacking”

JOURNEY

[Free Dictionary] By: Gabriela Yareliz Perhaps, even when we think we are moving aimlessly, things have a purpose; even what seems small, insignificant and random. When we are on a journey, we are moving toward something. Our journey has a lot toContinue reading “JOURNEY”

What’s in a Church?

By: Gabriela Yareliz One of my favorite things to do in New York is visit churches. Many of them are old and filled with exquisite beauty and detail. This post is about how I recently found one of my favorite churches in the city. I was walking the Highline Park some weeks ago, and IContinue reading “What’s in a Church?”

An Ode to Summer

By: Gabriela Yareliz SUMMER IN THE CITY [Inspired by: New York City] Despite my autumn fever, yesterday’s 68-degree morning, and leaving the house with a jacket today, it is still officially a tourist-crowded-sidewalk NYC summer. People’s addiction to ice cream does not seem to be waning. I am slightly traumatized from last winter, and IContinue reading “An Ode to Summer”

The Gardens at St. Luke in the Fields, Hudson Street

By: Gabriela Yareliz One of Manhattan’s loveliest places is tucked away at 487 Hudson St. I have spent many evenings at the Gardens at St. Luke; sometimes they are empty, sometimes they are full of children playing, while the mothers and nannies sit in a circle on the grass surrounded by strollers. The guardians occasionallyContinue reading “The Gardens at St. Luke in the Fields, Hudson Street”

The Conservatory Garden

By: Gabriela Yareliz One of Central Park’s hidden gems: The Conservatory Garden. I don’t even know how I discovered it, but when I saw the photo, I knew I needed to go and see it for myself. The trek up to this area of the park which is kind of parallel to East Harlem wasContinue reading “The Conservatory Garden”

Take a Walk With Me: Through Greenwich Village

By: Gabriela Yareliz One of my favorite places to take a stroll, no matter what the season, is through Greenwich Village; truly one of the best places in NYC. I am honored and blessed to be a part of the neighborhood. I am into the old fashion simplicity and tree-lined streets. This neighborhood offers exactly that, complete with aContinue reading “Take a Walk With Me: Through Greenwich Village”
