New York City: In Black and White
Whenever I am asked to put my photography into a certain category, I always respond the same way: “My photos are always exactly how I see the world.” I see New York City mostly in black and white. The monochrome is not meant to portray dreariness or melancholy. It’s a homage to a time past, which was simpler and, in my opinion, more honest.

Second City in Winter is First Rate
I need to get something off my chest. I had a brief affair over the holidays. It wasn’t the first time. My initial urge to stray came after a ten and a half year relationship with New York City. I’d been in love from February 2000 until mid-year 2010. I started to feel the strain near the end of 2010 and became disengaged. I actually searched for things about my lover that annoyed me—only to feel justified by next headstrong decision, which was to pack up and move to San Francisco. Within two months, I knew I had made a grave error. I missed the comforts and conveniences of my 10-year partner. I even missed the irritating factors. My new flame was a complete mismatch. it occurred to me that my old, seemingly stale relationship with Manhattan could be summarized by Carly Simon lyrics: Just because you don’t see shooting stars/doesn’t mean it isn’t perfect. With humility, I left San Francisco after 11 months and returned to my old metropolis in June 2012. Contentment followed.
Jonathan’s Ristorante Boasts Refined Italian Cuisine & More
In any area of New York, it is very hard for any type of business to establish longevity with how competitive each environment is. Food, fashion, technology and more, it is dog eat dog out there and only the smart and strong ones really do survive. Jonathan’s Ristorante, a staple smack dab in the middle of Huntington Village, has been able to do that since 1994 and has done it absolutely beautifully now that I have finally been into this place since living virtually two or three miles from it since I was eight years old. With its refined approach to Italian cuisine, Jonathan’s expertly takes each dish it provides and puts enough TLC into it to really make what you are having not just another plate of food, but an experience.

What’s Happening In Manhattan This Weekend?
New York City, Manhattan more specifically, is a great place to be for so many things and there is endless options with what one can do for a weekday or a weekend. Even though we are supposed to be getting hit with 5-8 inches (and not in the good way, tee hee) of snow this coming weekend, it shouldn’t mean that we are going to keep ourselves locked in our apartments with Ramen noodles and episode 5 of Making a Murderer! Here is where we think you should go to this coming weekend for fun, entertainment, and more in Manhattan.
