Scenes from Washington Square Park – NYC [PHOTOS]

by Tony Shea September 24, 2014

I had a lot of fun last weekend, walking the city in my never ending quest to play tourist. Washington Square Park is populated by a mixture of both tourists and locals alike, since it’s a regular French teleporter with its Arch. And on a day like last Saturday, which is to say a day […]

Jay Hood was in town this weekend to help me with my ongoing exploration of the city. We decided to scale the Mount Everest, so to speak, of  local tourist attractions, the mighty Empire State Building, aka King Kong’s personal gym. Once the tallest building in the world from 1931 to 1970, the Empire State Building […]

Sunset – Pelham Shore Park – Long Island Sound [PHOTOS]

by Tony Shea September 16, 2014

After a hot and humid week (although not as hot as my friends in Los Angeles have it) represented the last gasp of Summer, cool autumnal weather has come to New York bringing rain and temperatures down into the 50’s. The sunset this evening at Pelham Shore Park, looking south across Long Island Sound, was […]

Let’s Go to the Carnegie Deli, Shall We?

by Tony Shea August 24, 2014

After a long night out in Manhattan, and a very few hours of sleep, I’m off to the legendary Carnegie Deli to strap on the feed bag and recharge, since the restaurant’s motto is “If you can finish your meal, then we’ve done something wrong.” Indeed.

Since I moved to New York a few months ago, my legs have been getting a workout for sure. I estimate that I have walked 500 or so city blocks by now in my treks, playing tourist. Of note so far, I’ve marched across the Brooklyn Bridge, visited the Bronx Zoo, seen the Jeff Koons […]

Let’s Go to the Bronx Zoo – Shall We?

by Tony Shea July 30, 2014

The weather has been wonderful lately in jolly ole’ New York, perfect for continuing my exploration of the city’s innumerable landmarks. I am nothing if not a tourist at heart. A couple of weeks ago I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. This week, I’m off to the Bronx Zoo. At 265 acres, and with more than 4,000 […]

Jeff Koons at the Whitney (NSFW)

by Tony Shea July 15, 2014

As anybody will tell you, one of the great joys of New York City is simply walking in any direction and seeing what happens next. I think of a forty block walk as almost mandatory, and my top mark so far is somewhere around a hundred, twenty blocks representing approximately a mile so you can […]

Let’s Cross the Brooklyn Bridge, Shall We?

by Tony Shea July 8, 2014

Since I’m new to New York, I’m going to do every single touristy thing I can think of, no matter what my rough and tough native New Yorker friends say. A week or so back I had the opportunity, yes that’s right you hardened locals, the opportunity, to stroll across one of the most iconic […]
