On May 10, I rented a bike on the East Side, cautiously rode my way across town and through Central Park, met my friend Lara at the lovely Riverside Park, and continued our ride up the West side of Manhattan to the Cloisters. Total ride, about 22 miles. A WONDERFUL way to feel as though I had escaped the city for a day. Even though I never left Manhattan!
So, this little project is really intended to be less of a "blog" and more of an online journal where I get to keep track of the never-ending stream of awesome events, concerts, festivals, theater, and outdoor recreation that NYC has to offer. Living in this city is so overwhelming because there's so very much to do and so precious little time!
