I know that one last spontaneous  trip was needed in 2015, so New York City was booked and left the following day. I had to visit the city since the weather was beyond unusually warm and I needed to make it more of a Fitcation. 

First stop, Henry Hudson Hotel in Columbus Circle. This was the perfect location since wanted to be near Central Park and along the metro.

There is nothing like running around the Jackie Onassis Reservoir in the morning light. It is truly a sight to see and may visitors to the city never see how vast Central park is with in the concrete walls. Afterwards, it was time to do some holiday shopping and there is only one timeless place to go….Hello 5th Ave. During the holidays, these sidewalks are so festive that are truly an event to see. Did I mention that I ran into THE BILL CUNNINGHAM at Bergdorf Goodman’s!!!! (Thank you Netflix and Richard Press for the documentary)

Walking the city with all of the lights is so refreshing and empowering. These are the areas that only time can create and tradition is embraced. I hope that you stop for a moment, take a deep breath and just experience the magic.

The following day, it was off to Brooklyn to catch up with a long time friend at Shake Shack. Beyond delicious and grab a shake to go!!!! Check out the Shine for a personal solar-powered device! So cool.

Forget staying in your comfort zone, get out and explore the amazing world we live in!!!

Best,

Wally.
