Scenes from a Park Bench – Central Park – NYC

by Tony Shea August 19, 2014

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 […]

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 […]

The View from 37,000 Feet – Part 1 [PHOTOS]

by Tony Shea May 15, 2014

I love traveling and I love flying on planes (provided that there are sudden jolting flashes of turbulent death.) I love airports – I like the mayhem of them, with all their refugee camp meets duty free perfume/chain restaurant/bar/gift shop/high end jewelry store/commemorative t-shirt and shot glass stand glory. When I fly I like to […]

by Tony Shea April 10, 2014

As I prepare to make the move from Los Angeles to New York I’m seeing all the things I have loved about LA again with fresh eyes, with a renewed sense of appreciation, as I attempt to put my time here into perspective. It would be largely impossible to replicate the sense of wonder with which […]
