Advent Season is here

It is unknown when Advent or the preparation for Christmas first began. 

Advent Wreath

Some may even claim it goes back to the time of the Twelve Apostles or that it was founded by Saint Peter himself.

“Constructing Manhattan from the Razor’s Edge” by Christina Lihan 


The artist's cut-outs in thick white paper - cut and creased in razor sharpness - reflect the brightness and energy of the city, bright lights and tight walkways, an expansive sky above and compressed movement below. 

Catch it while you can! Aug 15 to Jan 16. Read all about it here

Brooklyn Bridge Park

October weather has been gorgeous and turned into the best time to visit the newly opened Brooklyn Bridge Park



Located on Brooklyn's waterfront under the Brooklyn Bridge and across from the southern tip of Manhattan, this gem of a park offers breathtaking views of the New York City skyline across the East River. 



Visitors can stop and gaze at the postcard-perfect sights of New York City while sitting on the park's steps or picnicking on its grass.

Brooklyn bound

A friend from our tropical home was here visiting for a few days from the UK. Being water babies we were both happy as clams on the East River Ferry - off to traipse through Williamsburg and Dumbo in Brooklyn.


Brooklyn is one of the five boroughs of New York City. It used to be and still feels much like a full fledged city with approximately 2.5 million inhabitants. If separated from the rest of NYC, Brooklyn would be the fourth most populous American city.  

Brooklyn is currently enjoying a period of expansion and affluence not experienced since before World War II.
