Isle of Palms sunset

Despite the unbearable humid summer weather, it’s still my favorite time of year. Here’s why.

Disclosure: This photo was taken during December, but it still reminds me of all the days I spent at the beach during the summer.

I know I’m biased about this, but I think I have the cutest niece ever!

Here are some photos from my recent trip to the Museum of Modern Art, home of the Tim Burton exhibit. If you get a chance, I highly recommend you go see it!

New York City: The West Village

I spent Friday exploring The West and Greenwich Village. One of the things that I really like about the village is the rod-iron fire escapes on all of the buildings. I also found the apartment complex where they filmed the exterior shot of Friends. It’s Monica, Chandler and Joey’s apartment.

New York City: Chinatown

What started out with a trip to the East Village ended up with me being completely lost in Chinatown.

It’s really easy to start out in one direction and just wonder around the city and end up somewhere completely different.

Chinatown is by far my favorite place in NYC so far. The culture is completely different and if you didn’t know any better, you wouldn’t even know you were still in the city.

The city also has a different heartbeat at night than the day. At night, the streets are bright with the glow of restaurants and signs, the streets are bustling with happy people enjoying their time with friends and it just seems more festive.

During the day, the city is more cold, people rush about going to meetings appointments and work. It’s hard to overlook most of the restaurants and small cafe’s because you can’t see inside of them as well and are more likely to just walk by.

Just walking is what landed me in Chinatown. There’s so much to see, small vendors, chinese grocery stores, real actual chinese food to eat too! Like most villages in Manhattan, it’s a city in itself.

Enjoy the photos!

Here’s a map of foursquare check-ins that I’ve been keeping track of since I came to New York City.

Where else should I go?

Snow in D.C.

I was in D.C. on business Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. While I was there, I got a chance to go around the mall and snap a few quick photos. Unfortunately, it’s suppose to snow up to two feet there!
