Once upon a time, all the castaways resided in Roosevelt Island. The island of many names was home to 26 institutions that housed prisoners, the insane, small pox and typhus patients, and more. Since the 1970’s, however, Roosevelt Island has undergone a makeover and is now the stomping ground for 12,000 residents. It’s limited vehiculer traffic, coupled with a lovely 2.5 mile trail that circumnavigates the island, gives New Yorkers and visitors a place to escape the bustle of the city.

Maryland has a bunch of fantastic towns and cities to visit, but one thing that’s not always celebrated about this state is its nature! Even the fully paid-up members of the city slicker club will struggle to resist the charms of Maryland’s natural beauty. There’s birdwatching, hiking, boating, exploring, and a little bit of eating thrown in for good measure. So, if you’re in the mood to get some of that fresh air in your lungs then look no further.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas in NYC. Well, to be fair, any day in New York City when the Christmas lights shine bright is an amazing time to visit the Big Apple. I never tire of New York. It is my favorite city in the world. As a result, I try to visit New York City every few years. Fortunately, my friend Tina is usually game.
This December in New York City we kept some traditions and added in some new. There is never a shortage of things to do in NYC. As always, we went to some dinners and shows, strolled through Central Park, admired the Christmas lights, and popped into a few museums.
But we also added visiting the library, some other parks, and some famous breakfast and lunch places into our itinerary too. We even tried staying in a different part of Manhattan, but by the time we organized this trip, affordable hotels in convenient locations were limited at best.
