From unbelievably cool architecture to the weird, wild and wacky, the sights in New York City never fail to amaze. Check out my NYC photo gallery to view the city through the lens of a local.
Let me just start with; there’s a lot of myth involved when it comes to the cocktail. Where it started, how it got its weird name, when it was created; it’s complicated.

I’ve been walking the streets of New York City neighborhoods for the last 3 weeks. I was hired to do a photo project capturing NYC neighborhoods, restaurants, parks, activities, and hotels for a new NYC Travel Website. Every day I’d ride the subway to a new neighborhood and scour it. It’s been 10 years since […]
New York City is one of the most artistic cities in the world, and I’m continuously amazed at all of the artistic events, places, and people the city is filled with. Prior to moving to New York City, I didn’t really have an intense appreciation for the arts, but it’s impossible not to get caught […]

Another perfect foodie night out in New York City. However, I wasn’t at the latest Manhattan […]

You are making your first trip to the Big Apple and are pouring through online websites and guide books about New York City. You plan on seeing a Broadway show, doing the museums, and maybe even going for a run in Central Park. You most definitely want to eat out at great restaurants while you […]
The last 5 days I’ve been playing tour guide of my favorite city in the US – New York City. My old home still holds a very special place in my heart, especially for New Years. My 15 year old niece has traveled with me to NYC for the first time and I’ve been putting […]
Meet Charles. He lives in Taanayel Lebanon and serves as the Quality Control department (ok – there are only 2 people in the QA Department including Charles!) for Arcenciel Organization. Arcenciel is a really cool NGO which I wrote all about on Briefcase to Backpack recently – click here and learn more. While I was […]
