Being a tourist in my own city. I've walked past Trinity Church in downtown NYC so many times but never walked in. It's so pretty, peaceful and serene. I was also happy they checked everyone's vaccine status and required masks inside.

This place definitely takes its milkshakes seriously. Just look at the sheer number of milkshakes options.

This is supposed to be a great place to spot whales during migration season. There were 3 whales the day I visited but unfortunately missed it by an hour or so. But the views are still worth visiting.

Today, @gauravsabnis, @janganita and I went to @singhsrotishop in Queens for some doubles, roti, dhalpuri, and also pie. We met a wonderful and charming retired man from Guyana full of fun stories. We had such a fun conversion with him.
.
After that, we went to Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge for the first time. It's absolutely gorgeous and hardly anyone was there. After walking around for over an hour we went to Rockaway Beach. We weren't there long before getting hungry again so it was time to hit the New World Mall in Flushing.

A few winter pics from last weekend. First snowfall of the season is always pretty but in the catskill it's simply magical. Our Airbnb host was one of the most nicest and sweetest person ever.

We went out on a whim for the first time since the start of the pandemic. We used to enjoy east village often in pre-pandemic days and it felt really good to do it again. We had a few drinks, met some wonderful New Yorkers who are originally from Colombia, and sang karaoke together.
