A Love Letter to Springtime in NYC 

Dreaming, reminiscing, and appreciating springtime in the city

Our minds are currently fixated on sweet memories of springtime in NYC. Weโ€™re dreaming of colorful tulips in cafe window sills, of two strangers sitting side by side on a bench in Bryant park, of toes wiggling through blades of grass in Central Park, of basketballs bouncing and bike bellsโ€™s dinging, of pink cherry blossoms blooming over grey concrete slabs, of the local bodegaโ€™s overflowing floral displays, of eating greasy pepperoni pizza with our fingers, of being perched on rooftops, watching the sunset ignite the skyline, of lavender dresses and bright white sneakers. Weโ€™re dreaming of embracing our friends on the sidewalks and sharing cheek-kisses with loved ones on the crosswalks. We are dreaming of the moment when we can all enjoy the precious mรฉlange of springtime scenes in NYC. In the meantime, here are some snapshots of the city we know and love.

Scenes from an unforgettable trip to Jalisco, where we wandered the historic streets of Guadalajara, adventured into the heart of the Mexican Highlands to visit the birthplace of tequila, and immersed ourselves in the delicious flavors of the Jalisco interior.

There are lots of reasons to revisit the newly reopened waldorfnyc (which was closed for a top-to-bottom renovation for the past eight years), but a seat at the original Peacock Alley bar may be what gets us to book our reservation. The iconic cocktail lounge, once a favorite of Frank Sinatra, Elisabeth Taylor, and Cole Porter, is back and more glamorous than ever. Meet you there for a drink?
