These images are from the city’s Department of Records (by way of the Daily Mail); the city released 870,000 unseen photographs earlier this year after four years of digitizing. Anyone can sear...
A little late, but better late than never–right? So much happened in Hudson’s ninth month! He started it off with two new teeth (they seem to arrive in pairs and these were #5 and #6) and a few...
When Aron and I went to Montauk a few years ago, we stayed at a fairly dodgy motel. I see I generously called it “fine” in our trip report because Aron booked the room and was so nice to ...
This is the third installment of the Sakura Bloom Sling Diaries. When I heard the theme was adventure I thought: “The subway!” Don’t you all?
[Salsa dancing at our wedding, May 2007] When we got married, we decided to forgo the wedding album in favor of devoting all of our photo budget to the photographer. Kasey Lennon used all film and se...
The weather has been wonderful here the past few nights, prompting us to go take in the evening skyline and see the new rooftop exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year, the exhibit is To...
I snapped this shot from a cab the other night; I can’t believe I’ve yet to go to the Paris theatre. I’ve been told that it’s such a romantic space in which to see a movie. In...
A while back, someone wrote me to ask how I pack a bag for a day out in the city for Hudson. I can’t say it’s down to a science–and ask me again next week and you might get a differ...
I passed a girl wearing these Loeffler Randall rain booties the other day and they looked so chic! You couldn’t even tell at first that they were rubber! They seem like a much more practical op...
We had lots to celebrate this past weekend–our fifth wedding anniversary and my first mother’s day! (And we celebrated our own mothers and my dad’s birthday in spirit!) These are so...
Between anniversaries, mother’s day, and gorgeous weather, it was a stellar weekend. I’ll probably gather some photos to share soon. In the meantime, here are some shots of a new favorite...
I’m going to be doing my best to make this mother have a wonderful “first” mother’s day. Hudson is one lucky kid to have such a caring and clever mother. And I’m lucky, ...
Hard to believe, but this Saturday is our fifth wedding anniversary! And it’s the first time since we were married that the date falls on a Saturday. It seems fitting–the occasion really ...
Friends Elisabeth and Miya have just launched a beautiful new online project–Equals–a companion to a forthcoming quarterly print journal! I was honored to contribute something. Read my ar...
There are actually two boathouses in Central Park: there’s the one where you rent your rowboat and have a nice lunch, and there’s this one–where you rent a miniature sailboat or, if...
A few more photos from our Sunday in Central Park. We took Hudson to the little zoo there for his first time. We went fairly late in the afternoon and started at the Tisch Children’s Zoo; the c...
On Sunday, it looked a lot like summer in Central Park. (And thank goodness, because most of the previous week had been kinda grey and icky.) The great lawn was covered in baseball games and the othe...
I was invited to be a Guest Curator for the Etsy Blog this past week. I packed my virtual bags for four hypothetical weekend trips with the baby: to the shore, the city, the moutains, and to the dese...
A little over a week ago, on a rainy Sunday, we all walked up to Beehives & Buzzcuts on First Avenue, and Hudson sat down for his very first haircut (gulp!). It was hard deciding to snip some of ...
Joanna just let me know that she shared some photos from a brunch I went to last Saturday (and they’re stunning)! Pinhole Press–a sponsor of ours–and Joanna hosted the brunch at Kar...
Couldn’t resist sharing a couple of things from yesterday: Hudson in his NYU scrubs visiting Aron at work. Oh, and a little trick Hudson debuted when we got home… No biggie.
I was honored to be interviewed by Anne Ichikawa recently for the site Elizabeth Street! You can read the full interview here. P.S. Happy May Day!
A few weeks had passed since my last visit to the Greenmarket and so I was shocked when suddenly I found myself amongst purple Asparagus, Fiddlehead ferns, rhubarb, and Lily of the Valley. I’m ...
This is the second installment installment in the Sakura Bloom Sling Diaries Series. The theme this round is “style.” Too much pressure for just me and Hudson to bear, so we went to Willi...
I’ve only come across this new flavor twice. (And I’ve been looking!) If it were in a shot glass as part of a fancy dessert course (you know the kind… passionfruit three ways or som...
You may recall that our pre-baby bucket list included dinner at Torrisi Italian Specialties, a difficult spot to go to even with a babysitter owing to its day-of, in-person reservations system. And i...
We started the month on St. Patrick’s Day, a ridiculous scene wherein we made the mistake of trying to see the parade from Central Park and ended up fleeing the rowdy scene while trying to keep...
A few years ago, New York Magazine revealed that this graffiti-covered old bank on the Bowery (that we all probably thought was abandoned or filled with squatters) is in fact a single-family-h...
Between Caracas and Porchetta, Butter Lane and the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop, there are plenty of reasons we often find ourselves on the block of 7th street between First and A in the East Village. And ...
