A Rambutan from a Green Cart vendor near Montefiore. It was absolutely delicious. I’ve never eaten anything quite like it!
Biking In Heels: Cycling For Women
I took an awesome (and free!) bike class at the Brooklyn Brainery last month taught by Emily Scott, an avid cyclist with enthusiasm and smarts to boot. We covered everything from proper gear (Isle Jacobse’s great raincoats and a white helmet for increased visibility, for instance) to highest risk situations (like cars making left turns… Continue reading Biking In Heels: Cycling For Women

These always remind me of my Grandpa, because he taught me how to stick them on my nose! (Taken with instagram)
6½th Avenue Gets Greenlight: Pedestrian Passageway Approved by Community Board, Installation in June
YES! Basically, there are currently random passageways (privately owned) through buildings sitting in between 6th and 7th Avenues. But, it’s not easy to cross the street at those points, and it’s rather disjointed. So, the city is creating new, raised crosswalks, street paint, and stop signs to hopefully ease traffic and make these public spaces… Continue reading 6½th Avenue Gets Greenlight: Pedestrian Passageway Approved by Community Board, Installation in June
