The Winner – Bobby Bare – Song of the Day

by Tony Shea October 14, 2014

Just because Bobby Bare is f&*king awesome. This song is one of those hilarious country gems that will save your life. This song sits on the same shelf as “Bad LeRoy Brown” and “A Boy Named Sue” by Jim Croce and Johnny Cash respectively. But unlike those great artists, you can still see Bobby Bare […]

Last night, the family and I, dog included, headed north from Manhattan to Croton-on-Hudson for the Great Jackolantern Blaze, which is a good event for people with […]

Let’s Cross Manhattan Bridge, Shall We?

by Tony Shea October 5, 2014

One thing you can definitely say about New York City, there sure are lots of bridges (and tunnels.) Thousands of them in fact, from tiny little bridges in Central Park to massive suspension bridges, connecting the five boroughs and  New Jersey. Ten of these many bridges–the George Washington, High Bridge, Hell Gate, Queensboro, Brooklyn, Manhattan, […]

Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful day for walking in New York. With temperatures in the low 80’s, sunny and dry, I started on 14th St. at Union Square then walked all through the Lower East Side, back up to Chinatown and over the Manhattan Bridge to Dumbo in Brooklyn.

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 […]

Let’s Go to the Empire State Building – Shall We? [PHOTOS]

by Tony Shea September 21, 2014

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 […]

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 […]

Star-Spangled Banner Turns 200 – The Remixes

by Tony Shea September 14, 2014

The Star-Spangled Banner, aka the national anthem of the United Sates, turned the ripe old age of 200 today. You probably know that the Star-Spangled Banner was written by Francis Scott Key (who was the second cousin of F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of the Great Gatsby). You probably don’t know that the anthem is actually […]

On my way to see Bob Mould at the Bowery last Friday, I took a short pit stop to tour the Feast of San Gennaro along Mulberry St. in Little Italy. And what a feast it was! The ten day event, now in its 88th year, runs until September 21, 2014 and features dozens upon […]
