Heat Wave
July 7th, 2010 · Comments Off · Manhattan, Photos, Upper West Side
In case you haven’t heard, it’s really hot in New York City. Two 100-degree days in a row now. All this week, the hydrant has been gushing on my block. Today after my run, I jumped in. I checked “play in an open fire hydrant during a hot summer day” off my NYC to-do list.
The Daily Show

Today, I did this: Several J-school friends and I went to a taping of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Strictly no cameras in the studio so an awning shot will have to suffice. The man is really good at his job. He did the whole show in one take. It must have been an [...]

The Cloisters

The Columbia Journalism School Career Fair was today. I spent all day hopping from table to table at the ringing of a bell. It was exactly what I imagine speed dating is like. I met some interesting people and had some good conversations. I’d call it a success. After the fair, Fred and I rode [...]

We’ve been getting lots of snow in NYC lately. It started dumping halfway through Thursday and just never stopped. I rolled out of bed at 7:30 this morning. Much to my surprise, Columbia was closed. So I rolled over, turned off the alarm and fell back asleep. Later, I ventured over to Central Park to [...]

Busy Saturday

I had a good Saturday. Very busy. Slept in. Went for a run. Met up with Fred. Biked to Central Park. They had a rail jam going on. Fred indulged in some swag. This woman was grooving to the tunes supplied by the Red Bull mobile sound system. She had moves. Next, we cruised to [...]

Kiddos

Every Tuesday around noon, I return home to grab a meal and retreat into my thoughts before returning to class. It also happens that at noon the children of PS 135 descend on the playground outside my window. I never get the retreat I’m hoping for. From my perch at my kitchen table, my window [...]

NYC Mayoral Election 2009: Polling Early and Partying Late
November 6th, 2009 · Comments Off · Journalism, Kingsbridge, Manhattan, Photos, RW1, The Bronx
This Tuesday, November 3, was the New York City General Election. My RW1 Class was dispatched into the Bronx for some exit polling. I hopped on the train at 7 a.m. to head to Riverdale, a wealthy, white and Jewish Democratic stronghold in the Northwestern Bronx to see how people were voting for mayor. The [...]

Some NYC Shots

I took a walk around my neighborhood near Riverside Park. Perfect autumn mid-afternoon light.
