Hooray for Spring!

It's arrived... finally. I had been so cold all winter! Spring is blooming more and more every day here in NYC. Easter Sunday we ventured out to the upper east side for a delicious brunch at Candle 79... they had vegan cannoils!!! After we walked through Central Park and all the blooming trees. Everyone else in the city was there too... so crowded and excited for spring!

February Snow

This winter NYC has actually seen a lot of snow! But last week we got hit with the biggest storm of the season. I was out and about all day so I brought my camera along. And then finally had the motivation to get up to Central Park and capture some of the moments of the storm that night. Winter Wonderland it was, and the whole city came out to enjoy! Luckily my roommate Kiel ventured out with me and was the best photo assistant I could have in a snowstorm!

V-day 2010

Valentine's Day... we opted for Brunch instead of a dinner, figured we'd beat the crowds of reservations. However, brunch at Candle 79 was still packed and they somehow lost our reservation. But we got in and enjoyed a delicious meal ending with their mouth watering desserts. Afterward we rushed to the movies to see The Hurt Locker... very good, but a depressing intense movie. We spent the rest of the day walking around the city and enjoying the Empire State Building's colors of the evening...

February 1st 2010

Birthday celebration 2010 started off with a brunch on Sunday with friends at Counter in the East Village. The day was pretty chilly but we ventured out afterwards for a good cause. MooShoes, a local vegan shoe store was having a vegan bake sale fundraiser for Haiti for the organization Doctors Without Borders. The sale ended up raising over $5000 and I won a prize from the donation raffle they had! From there we walked around the city finding whatever we came across, including a cool ice decoration display on some scafolding. Later we finally saw AVATAR in 3D. On Monday, my b-day day... Chris and I spent the day relaxing and wandering around the city, mostly eating. It was a great 2 day celebration!
