figurative fireworks only.

apparently the 4th of july holiday weekend is not staycation time for new yorkers. over the past two days, the city felt eerily abandoned - there was plenty of room to breathe at typically overcrowded weekend spots. i know i complain about crowds quite a bit...but i think i find empty nyc streets a bit more unsettling.



lucky for me, i had a visitor in town. it's kind of fun living in a separate city from a significant other. it's like having a home in two cities...which is certainly one way to have some semblance of a vacation home or timeshare at this point in our lives. and now that i've seen how many new yorkers seem to have multiple homes...i'm glad i do too. sort of.



anyway, i had to drop him off at the airport this evening...so i missed the fireworks over the hudson. but i still had a great weekend!

weekend details: astoria park. bohemian hall. l'arte del gelato. the highline park. love. and much much more.
