It has been amazing exploring all that this amazing city has to offer. My favorite things to do right now are to wander around and stare up at the 10+ story buildings. The architecture here is amazing. I love how old colonial all the buildings are. The way you will see a whole block of apartments together and each two window sections have completely different styles. It is so beautiful. Then, when you look carefully you will see a top floor garden on an inconspicuous floor, that is truly conspicuous if you are paying attention. I love it.But there is so much more I want to do, to see, to explore here.
These are the top three things I hope to do:
1. HBO Movie in the Park:
On Mondays during the summer you can go to Bryant Park, bring a picnic and sit on a blanket 
watching classic black and white movies. While I haven't had a Monday to experience this yet, Casablanca is playing in September, and even if I have to go alone, it is worth it.

I know that this is such a tourist thing to do, but I have to experience it just once. I'm not a big New Years celebrator, but when my Gina gets here this is something we have to do. I know it will be crowed beyond belief, but it will be well worth it.3. The Tribeca Film Festival:
This is an Indie film lovers dream come true! Thank you Robert De Niro!! Hopefully I can get in to some real gems this 2008 season.

I have yet to watch the ball drop (it's on my New "York list) but I did watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. It was just like "Miracle on 34th Street." I will be standing on the corner in Times Square once again this year in my 1940s coat and hat, enjoying every float and balloon! Can't wait to see you.
I know it's supposed to be a sin, but I am green with envy.
Then again, green is my favorite color
