Brooklyn Heights – My Last Week as a (weekly) Nomad
It’s fitting to end this project with my parents, who, along with a lot of other people in my life have made the past 1.5 years possible. I recharged my batteries more than a couple of times at their house in Bridgewater, and for an entire month at their house in Cape Cod. I always [...]
Forest Hills, Queens
Queens is the borough I’ve always wanted to spend more time in. Noticeably absent from my neighborhood travels are such places as Jackson Heights, Long Island City, Flushing and Jamaica. I did have the chance to spend time in Astoria, Kew Gardens, and most recently Forest Hills. Forest Hills is an upper class neighborhood and [...]
Chelsea, Manhattan
Chelsea was on the books for a while. Jennifer had read the article in the NY Times and decided hosting a stranger in her studio apartment would be fun. Turned out she was right! I’ve been pretty busy with my new job, but we went to Socarrat Paella bar for dinner one night and she [...]
The Northern Tip of Manhattan – Inwood
Inwood is another one of those neighborhoods I felt like I just had to get to on the road to 52. The very northern tip of the island always fascinated me and I only ever made it up to the Cloisters on bike rides in the past. After spending a week with Bronwyn and Matt, [...]
Astoria, Queens
Queens has long eluded me. I’ve only stayed in Kew Gardens before this week, and such neighborhoods as Jackson Heights, Flushing, and Long Island City are neighborhoods that I’ve wanted to get to, but won’t be on the list of 52. I do have a week in Forest Hills schedule, and my very last week [...]
Turtle Bay, Manhattan
I’ll admit I’m getting a liberal with my neighborhood definitions, but Turtle Bay is a distinct neighborhood from Midtown East where I stayed a few weeks ago. Wikipedia says: It extends between 41st and 54th Streets, and eastward from Lexington Avenue to the East River, across from Roosevelt Island.[1] It is the site of the United Nations Headquarters [...]
Brighton Beach, Brooklyn
I had my 30th birthday party in Brighton Beach at a Russian nightclub called the National. If you know anyone that has been to such an event, they’ll tell you its quite the experience. Since then, I’ve wanted to live in Brighton Beach for a week. I’d have settled for Coney Island, Sheepshead Bay, or [...]
Middle East, Baltimore
I’ve thought a lot about taking this project beyond the five boroughs. I have six neighborhoods left in New York City to reach my goal of 52, which was originally a goal of a summer, which turned into a goal of a calendar year, which turned into a goal of 52 neighborhoods – a NYC [...]
SoHo, Manhattan
I haven’t spent much time Downtown. At one point or another I’ve called the Lower East Side, TriBeCa, NoHo, and the East Village home, but I have yet to stay in Chinatown, Battery Park, or the Financial District. Until my week with Desmond, SoHo was also on that list of downtown neighborhoods I had yet [...]
Midtown East, Manhattan
“Midtown East? What are you going to do in Midtown East?” This was a familiar response I received from people who asked me where I was living a couple of weeks. Elena, my host for the week, seemed to share this feeling. She was quick to apologize for the neighborhood, but then went on to [...]
