Views from Governors Island, NYC

There is always the perception that there is no open green space in New York City and you would be so wrong. In August, I was invited to go on…Read More

My love for coffee goes so hard that I crave it even after dinner. Nothing else has the comforting feeling like coffee. I attribute my love for coffee to my Caribbean heritage, I grew up with @cafebustelo espresso and now nothing else will do. I can drink my coffee black, right before bed and still fall asleep. That's from drinking it with condensed milk as a child. Anybody else have this problem?

Two years ago the last public place I traveled to

Two years ago the last public place I traveled to was Grand Central Terminal a week before lockdown in NYC. Maybe, I'm just overly sensitive but it's feeling a bit like the city is reliving 2019 all over again but with blessing of testing and vaccinations.
The daily positive tests record breaking of over 20,000 this week really establishes that we as a society haven't learned much. And that's depressing.
The fact that the death of 800,000 people hasn't changed habits or people haven't tried to center others in their thinking is sobering. And this apathy is not just a NYC thing but a worldwide phenomenon. Believe me I understand pandemic fatigue but being fatigued is better than hospitalized in my mind.
I'm not saying that we shouldn't live life and stay in place forever, please don't misunderstand. We have to get the economy back on track and all that. But are we doing it safely and causing the least amount of harm while existing? Anyway, for me it's just been a week of deep thoughts.
What do you think?

Have you ever noticed, that when you have visitors

Have you ever noticed, that when you have visitors from out of town and you play tour guide that, you appreciate your city all over again?⠀
⠀
🗽Seeing NYC through fresh eyes and answering those questions are is something I actually enjoy.⠀
⠀
🗽Walking through the streets while cases are rising and finding open spaces to sightsee safely is another aspect. So it also takes planning.⠀
⠀
🗽Have you tried to sightsee while restrictions have been lifted? What precautions are you currently taking? As cases are rising again are you planning to fall back from your trips or are doing it with YOLO in mind? Are we still using YOLO?⠀
⠀
🗽I got to see a very empty Oculus and @onewtc from the ground of course (heights aversion) while almost empty by going later in the evening while tourists were in Times Square.
🗽I'm also using less crowded modes of transportation so that I can safely socially distance like @NYCferry and if I get luck you can time it to the sunset and get a bonus. ⠀

🏖️The beaches are open, well except this part

🏖️The beaches are open, well except this particular one because there was no lifeguard on duty. But people are still taking their chances. You can get here with a short ride on the A to your spot on the sand.
🏖️Will you be visiting the shores this Summer and where is your favorite beach to linger at?

I made this dish back in December for my mom's birthday and I was craving it again. It's a fettuccine pasta made with a beetroot sauce that I saw on Nadiya Hussain's show, Time to Eat. The sauce has basically 5 ingredients. It's quick, easy, healthy, and a little spicy. But, don't think that simple can't be delicious!
Have you tried any new recipes that are now mainstays for you? What are they? I'm always looking for inspiration.

If you can catch some sunshine this weekend, it's

If you can catch some sunshine this weekend, it's perfect cherry blossom watching time! There are a few places to catch them in NYC but my favorite is on Roosevelt Island cherry walk because of the wide open space and no time limit and the tram in the background and it's free ninety nine.
🌸As far as I know, the Kwanzan variety, double flower bright pink fluffy flowers, are not blooming yet so you still have a chance to catch them.
🌸The white blossoms (Shirotae, Shogetsu, and Fudanzakura) are in full bloom and falling and the pink single blooms (Rosea, Rosy Cloud, and Yedoensisare) are at peak as well.
It's such a serene and peaceful thing to experience watching the petals fall and enjoying the fragility of these flowers.
🌸 If you aren't near any blooms at all you can take a virtual walk through @brooklynbotanic and watch the video from 2020 's blossom season. It's like a scene from a Studio Ghibli film. Their selection of blossoms is unmatched. And if you go in person, the hills and the Cherry Esplanade makes for the dreamiest shots. A visit is free with a Culture Pass if you have a library card.
🌸Have you ever taken a time out and enjoyed "Hanami Sakura"( the art of watching the cherry blossoms) before? I have a post all about and the link is in the bio.
Happy Spring!!
