On August 2, 2010 I had the great pleasure of calling the West Village my new home. After spending a year living on the cusp of the Upper Eastside/Spanish Harlem, moving downtown came as a great relief. To outsiders the neighborhood is better known for the celebrities it houses, but any true local will boast of its vibrancy. The energy and quaintness of this place is worth savoring for a lifetime. I was tempted to title this post "A Love Letter to the West Village." Having lived here for three months, I've compiled photos of my most favorite village treasures that I would like to share with you. I know there is probably so much more I have yet to discover, but for now this will do. Happy Halloween everyone and enjoy!!

  3. The words "Town Spirit" popped into my mind as I was browsing your pictures. Glad you're enjoying the neighborhood! How different do you feel now than 1 year ago, when you first moved to NYC :-)

  11. Hey I'm a new follower, this is really great. Just read the interview on "The Jersey Gem" and had to see the pictures.
    I'm moving to New York this April, and this will be very helpful...I have never been there (besides the airport, which does not count).

    You are so talented! Good luck with your AAS program.
