How great is this website that has an up-todate map of all the galleries in Chelsea? It doesn't look like there are a lot of shows happening while we're visiting NYC but this Chelsea Gallery Map will be so helpful. I'm really excited to be in the city and look at art!!!
The Museum on Modern Art has a show open until April 29, 2013 called 'The Shaping of New Visions: Photography, Film, Photobook' that looks promising.
The Whitney has a show called 'Yayoi Kusama's Fireflies on the Water' that is open until October 28, 2012. I actually saw this installation once at the Whitney with a group show so it will be amazing to see it again: last time you walked out on a small platform so that you where in the middle of a mirrored room and the floor was all water, it looked a lot like the photo above.
I once lived near the Metropolitan Museum of Art and never once made it to their roof garden. Currently they have a show on the roof garden called 'Cloud City,' by Tomas Saraceno that is an interactive site-specific installation.
Have you seen a gallery show recently that you loved and would recommend taking the time to visit?

This year we have a trip planned to visit NYC for a few days in August and I'm beside myself excited to be in the city and show Eric around (it's been over 3 years since I was there.) Since I use to live in the city I've never done much research on accomodations in Manhattan until now - wow are there a lot of options on place to stay!!! I started by looking at my favorite New Yorker blogger (A Cup of Jo) that has a great post with 'five great hotels' in her NYC Guide. I also checked out hotels.com, airbnb.com, vrbo.com, tripadvisor.com, and asked friends..... and started to just feel completely overwhelmed with all the options out there. Do you have a favorite place to stay in NYC that you would recommend?

Have you ever been to the Mermaid Parade in Coney Island? I went once when I lived in New York City and had a blast! It looks like it was amazing this year as well. I found all these incredible photos posted on the Village Voice HERE.

Yet another reason to love the grid in New York City: tonight the sun will set so that it will align precisely with the Manhattan street grid and illuminate both the north and south sides of every cross street. Can you imagine what this will look like? I've never seen it before and would even consider visiting NYC next year at this time to see it. If you're in the NYC you will be able to see the half sun on the grid this evening at 8:17 pm EDT, the full sun set on May 30th at 8:16 pm EDT, as well as July 11 at 8:24 pm EDT. Please make me a photo of it if you're there in person, I would love to see it.
More information and photos from this page here.

It has been almost 6 years since I lived in NYC and almost 3 since I've visited NYC. I just booked a trip to visit my family later in the summer in NJ and also plan on spending a few days walking the streets of New York. I had to look through my old photographs from back in the day when I was living there and thought I would share these.
PS Here are some photos of my family in NJ.

Have you ever been to Central Park in New York City?
I once lived a few blocks from it and would spend days or weekends photographing the trees in Central Park. I found the park to be a part of my life that made sense and that I needed while living in the city.
So, when I recently heard on NPR that someone made a map of 19,933 trees in Central Park I couldn't help but stop everything else to listen to the show. It took Mr. Barnard and Mr. Chaya two years to identify and map all the trees in the park. Can you imagine?
PS Photos I made walking around the city here.
