Goodness

Life has been crazy with schedules and travels. For lack of explorations I offer you some goodness recently seen in NYC.

#1 Aloe. This lovely little gem of a restaurant in the East Village can be found at 406 E. 9th St. A quaint intimate setting with "a little bit of everything" on their menu that changes seasonally. Tasty, amazing service and perfect setting. Put it on your list.

#2 Battery Park City Conservancy. Bless the park staff who work year round to give us truly some of the most beautiful space and visions in the world. Spring has been long in coming but now we are surrounded with beautiful color. The grass is open and filled with neighbors and visitors soaking it all in.

#3 M9 anonymous bus driver. When you drop me directly in front of my building instead of the other side of West St you make my day/evening.

#4 Havana Alma de Cuba at 94 Christopher St. Another recent find of delicious eats, great atmosphere, outstanding live music and just an overall fantastic experience. If Cuban is what you are looking for this is the place.

#5 Neighbors. The beautiful weather is bringing out the best in people. In this town we live on top of each other...literally. We share hallways, laundry rooms, mail rooms, elevators and basic personal space daily. Spring has finally arrived after a long winter and everyone seems in lovely spirits.


On a completely different note. If you find yourself in Mountain Home, Arkansas (yes Arkansas) check out Angler's Coffee Cafe and tell them the NYC crowd sent you. My fabulous and longtime friend Missy has started a new adventure. Best of luck Missy!
