New York is never lovelier than in the early morning. Or late afternoon. Evening is pretty amazing too…

Sadly, this cozy little space has closed. I had some great times here.

The fabulous Austrian cafe in the Neue Gallery in New York City, Cafe Sabarsky.

Little restaurant in beautiful Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.

Since moving to a different borough, I sure miss walking to this place. Spices and cheeses and figs, oh my!

He appears to have been waiting for awhile. It was a beautiful summer evening, but I hope his date shows up soon.

Enjoyed so many brunches here in the lovely old Paris Cafe, right on the East River.

Delicious little restaurant in the west village, NYC.

Cute place that time forgot on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn.

West 13th Street near 6th Avenue. I wanted to share this drawing with them but they didn’t want it. I’ve never been back.

Popular place in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Love this spot. Fabulous art by Robert DiNiro’s dad hang all over the walls.

I’ve never been in it but I hear the pizza is terrific.

I loved the energy of this corner and the red neon sign.

Lots going on outside my window.

Bright colors on a sunny day

Ridgewood, Queens

You can get anything you want here from fish to dry cleaning.

I couldn’t resist these guys! Dressed up, enjoying a glass of wine and ready to bid.

Morning outside my apartment.

The famed auction house is several floors of wonderful art.

The always fascinating Lexington Avenue in NYC.

Wander around this beautiful library, take it all in. Then go outside to the lovely Bryant Park. It’s perfect

It’s always something in Union Square. Never dull.

Colorful, lively Union Square is a fun place to hang out on a summer day.

My favorite place to be, Washington Square Park any time of the year. This is one of the first days of spring.

Doesn’t it look sunny and relaxing?

With many places to sit and relax in beautiful Central Park, this old gentleman and his dog take a break in the summer sun.

Lively and relaxing at the same time, a beautiful place to take a break amid the noise of the city.

Once a pretty seedy place, I love to go here. So many fascinating people in this park, relaxing, meeting friends, just taking a long walk.

A charming plant store in the village. This mom and her baby were getting out of the sun for a bit, as her partner shops for plants.

I saw these fire escapes while sipping tea in a really cool apartment on MacDougal street.

These guys were so cute.

A west village restaurant and bar with live jazz.

Summer in the park is great. The music is some of the best.

Jalopy in Red Hook. Great nachoes and great music.

A sunny New York day in the park.

Jazz on Wednesday nights in a cozy setting.

Many talented musicians play here every day.

How can anyone be unhappy with all this amazing music?

These ladies were practicing their french horns on a rock in the park.

As an occasional television and movie background extra, I do a lot of this: waiting around until the director calls “BACKGROUND!”

Becoming very touristy, my friend who lived down there said you wouldn’t dare set foot here 20 years ago.

A couple of friends just enjoying the day.

Outside Grand Central on the longest day of the year. Workers, commuters, tourists enjoying the beautiful late afternoon sunlight.

People still do read books on the train!

The New York subway system is a never ending source of inspiration!

Cute place on Orchard Street.

I really admire how the dog walkers keep these guys organized.

Sixth Avenue in NYC, founded by Wolf Lubitz, a Russian immigrant, in 1916.

A happy place to take your car!

Saw this little deli on my walks through Brooklyn Heights

My old ‘hood in Brooklyn.

Visiting my home town, I had to go to the restaurant in the lovely Guthrie Theatre, overlooking the Mississippi River in Minneapolis.
