I am taking a staycation next week! Why? A few reasons: 1. I need a break 2. All the places I want to travel to are too cold right now 3. I love New York 4. I have hermit tendencies and the idea of being home is very pleasing to me 5. need to save.
I was going to take the week to diligently work on my portfolio and take care of other things I never seem to have the time to work on, like archiving my photos, updating my website, etc, etc. But frankly just writing that sounds super BORING!
Instead I am going to pretend I am on a vacation in New York City.
I need some help coming up with ideas. If you are going to tell me to go to the Statue of Liberty or Time Square - boring! I want to experience New York, the way I want to experience Paris, like a Parisienne walking through the market with a scarf around my neck, eating a baguette. No touristy crap.
Give me some ideas!!!

Street photography is one answer!
Walk Atlantic Avenue end to end. You will pass through a diverse array of neighborhoods (Brooklyn Heights, East New York, Ozone Park).
Alternately, do an airport to airport walk JFK-LGA. I will provide pick-up/drop-off service.
Ever taken a ride on the Staten Island ferry? free, relaxing, and beautiful- but I can't say the same for Staten Island
HA! All great suggestions. Thanks!
Went to Coney Island today. Super fun. Tried to go to Totonno's. No dice. Closed. Every been pizza commander?

I totally forgot to ask how your staycation turned out! Find something fun to do?
It was great, thanks for asking Brooks! I relaxed, did some walking tours of the city, and ate out ALOT! Kitchen was closed. It was great meeting you at Paulie's!
