Whimsical tales of travel & lifestyle
With the recent spring weather we’ve been enjoying in New York, I just had to escape the concrete jungle for some fresh air, rich greenery and beautiful flowers. I had never been to the NY Botanical Garden, and so I hopped on Metro-North and within 20 minutes I was there. As soon as I arrived, it was evident this is one of the best outdoor activities to be enjoyed in the city. Not only is it close to the city, but easily available for … [Read more...]
