But it didn’t feel like 5 miles

Since I got my iPhone in December, I’ve fallen back into shutterbug mode. I’ve discovered Instagram and generally enjoyed exploring Manhattan with my camera. Most of these had been on my way to or from somewhere, or walking home from work through the park on a gorgeous, early spring day.

There are times when Continental makes me very happy…

Remaking the City’s Image, With 50 Million Tourists in Mind

Overall an interesting article, which asks an interesting question:

That left me wondering about the amount of prodding that a destination such as New York City requires. It’s not a destination that you have to explain a lot about: people know New York. Based on what they know, they make a decision as to whether it’s a place that fits their needs and wants. Can you . . . → Keep Going: New York New York: Big City of Dreams
