I have been in New York for 4 days, now. Thanks to Ava J. Easterby. Her post Location, Location, Location (For your Novel) got my mind thinking, I need to visit some of the spots in my last few projects to make sure I have the locations correct. This is also my first time in the US in 2 years.
I love food. I love shopping with my mom. I love walking the streets with a latte in my hand in the cool crisp air. I love winter and I love New York. Some things never change.
I will warn you right now, I see several New York/New Jersey related post in the future.
But, I will tease you with this for starters.

Glad you’re having an inspiring time in New York!
Thanks Alex. I am having a great time.
Speaking as a New Yorker (but not living in the Big Apple), welcome to our fair state!
Hey CT. Thanks for the welcome. It was a great weekend.
Thanks for the shout out, dear! NYC happens to be my home town, too!
You have a great city. Do you still live there? I have wanted to move there for years. Might be my next adventure.
No, I left to go to college and ended up staying in the Philadelphia area for awhile, where I met my husband. We live in South Jersey now.
