Brooklyn Travel Blogs

My friend, Vanessa, and I met at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden at 11:30AM, as it is free admission into the gardens from 10-12PM on Saturdays.  To find out more about the BBG visit: http://www.bbg.org.   I had been to the BBG once before, but it was in the fall and most of the flow…

 I woke up at 4.45am, i was flying Continental from Portland direct to Newark, the website wouldnt let me check in for some reason but it said the flight was still on time so Emmy's dad dropped me off at the airport about 6. My flight was due to leave at 7.30am and i went straight to the Conti…

I have lived in NYC since I was born...and I have always written about other places!  I have taken for granted the amazing city that this is.  So I want to repay my home town by honoring it with some acollades in return for the wonderful years here.  I guess I am a nature gir…

While taking my friends/neighbors out to NYC we went to the NY aquarium in Brooklyn and afterwards went strolling on the breeze boardwalk. Not much fun in the winter I must say. lol

Friday, April 6, 2007 4pm So here is what’s been happening so far. Our flight tickets have been issued, for all four of us, which means we are now guaranteed to be going on this trip! It’s a little hard to believe right now, but fact is fact. This morning I spent time on th…

I woke up the morning of travel feeling incredibly tired and pretty sick; honestly, I wanted to call the trip off and crawl back into bed!  I had meant to get everything ready the night before; clean the house, pack my things... but even then I felt so horrible that I decided to crash and do i…

The weather in NYC today was sooooo beautiful. Darren said it was to reward us for braving the storm yesterday. I think I agree! Sweeney Todd was AMAZING! I'm so glad I got to see it before it closed, and seeing the final performance was nothing short of incredible. There was not a weak link in t…

New York has changed  a little since i was last here . I do  love the place , but i am little out of sorts or just plain grumpy .My usual internet cafe  has dissapeared and last night i walked miles and miles  around square Times and 5th ave looking for another .It was rainy at …

  The New York Blog has been dormant for a while, not because I don’t have love for it, but rather, during the winter I am like a bear and try not to leave warm places if possible.  So this weekend I realized that spring was here and it was time!  Now it hasn’t been feeling like…

Alweer een dag met slecht weer! #^%$#&^@&  Mooi om thuis te rommelen. En het is ook nog de eerste zaterdag van de maand, which means: Museum Zaterdag. Het werkt zo: In Brooklyn staat het Brooklyn Museum. Dit is het één na grootste museum van New York City en een van de grootsten van…

So I haven't been to this parade since I was a kid and it was definitely too long not to go. I had a blast. We drove into Brooklyn and parked about 20 minutes away walking because of the immense amount of crowds that were going. We had no problem getting lost we sort of just followed the crowd. Thi…

(Heidy) had a birthday on Oct 16th and I looked at her profile photo and thought, I could give her a gift by changing her shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes.  I hope she is happy with the outcome.  Happy Birthday!!   If this is a photo of you o…

I was just talking to my cousin yesterday about  my exciting China travel stories, as well as showing all the weird pictures of places and people and us to him. Then I went on about how I really dislike living here in NYC bc the streets are dirty people are weird weather is hot etc. Then he sa…

My friends came up from Washington, DC to see the sights and experience a little bit of New York. The day started with a movie, El Cantante for them, The Simpsons Movie for me, and then lunch next door at T.G.I.F. I have to admit, it was really expensive and teh food was not that good, but I was …

We went back to Ronnies and I told her that we were just dropping by some stuff and then going out to Seth's birthday party... she announced whe wasn't going... which wasn't really a big surprise to me because she's not too social of a person.  When I went out there in June of 2006 her friends…
