This was only my second time in New York. But that doesn't matter. New York captured my heart as a young girl. I took some pretty amazing pictures this time around. Every trip makes you better, and I know what I will do differently next time. Because yes, there will be a next time. But until then, here are some of my favorite memories. (This is only day 1)

Waiting to board. A bum knee was NOT going to stop me. (Damn, nice shoes.)



All man made bridges over large bodies of water are amazing to me. Here's some detail of the Manhattan Bridge.



I learned quite a bit about the Hasidic Jewish community in Brooklyn. They appear to have also embraced mobile technology.



When Cory makes a request, how do I say no? I loved meeting his friends, and her crew. Her daughter, while very sweet, is still a diva-in-training.





(Pay no mind to the crazy blonde in Brooklyn)


Amazing street art…no surprise.



Great first night. And apparently, I'm hilarious.



There's more to the story. Check out 2015 April NY for more.
