It occured to me when writing yesterday about Grand Central Station that I commuted through there twice a day for five years, but never really stopped to take in my surroundings (granted, back then Grand Central wasn’t the treasure that it is today – the ceiling had not been restored and the food halls didn’t exist). I lived in Brooklyn for two years when I was right out of college (before it became insanely popular) but I was too busy working to enjoy the history and beauty of where I was living.

Go back to Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope to rediscover my old neighborhoods.
Take the Roosevelt Island Tram and visit Four Freedoms Park.
Discover charming neighborhoods such as this one or this one.
Go to see lectures at the 92nd Street Y.
Take a cooking class at Eataly.
Any other suggestions? Anyone want to join in?
My husband is from the Bronx and we lived in Boston, so we hopped on the train one fine day and went into NYC to scope out Columbia University for a possible graduate program. We only had about three days so needless to say, we were unable to enjoy all that there is to do! But I discovered OLLIES, a fantastic soup restaurant right across from the campus. Oh to go back one day!

This is so cute. It took a trip to Paris for me to appreciate my Washington DC city so much more..and it's just 45 mins. from me. Ive lived here my whole life and finally GET how chock full of style, culture, beauty, etc. it is. Love your bucket list. Ive only been to NYC 2x and yearn for more. I want to go to ABC Home and all the decor stores next.

I will take a cooking class with you at Eataly. I didn't know they had classes. My neighbor's son works there.
I am totally bookmarking this. I think about this often, normally its not until i have guests from out of town visiting when i realize how amazing this place is!! We need to take advantage of our own communities….shouldn't there be a national holiday for this!!

Good morning dear Sandy! Thank you for coming to visit my post; the time you are spending with your mother is THE MOST PRECIOUS TIME, isn't it? Have a wonderful TIME!! Anita
It's true that we often take for granted some of the places in our own neighbourhood. This is an excellent guide – always better to go on recommendations from a local! I shall make a note of these hidden gems – thank you.

A very dear friend came yesterday for a visit and lunch and she gave me the most wonderful book – "the stylist's guide to NYC" – Sibella court.
I know you would love it….it comes with a list, a map and wonderful photos for adventurous ideas of places to go.
Love to meet up in NYC!

And how lucky for you to have NYC as your town to fall in love with over and over again,
