uptown madness

getting ready to be on our merry way.











these summer was filled with many great weekends... and this one
 was no exception. we made our way to the newly revamped "la marina".. where leonardo dicaprio was spotted not to long. they really have great views, great food and an awesome vibe. which is what i live for.

after "la marina" closed we walked over to "dyckman bar" which is one of my favorite places uptown. they play really good music and they have one of my favorites drinks in the world, "a ciroc rasberry bellini"!! which are to die for!

i have kinda been getting a but nostalgic about summer leaving and having to wear big winter coats.. but let's enjoy while we can. 2 of the many places uptown that deserve some attention.

11 years later...



11 years i was a freshman in high school only in my second week of school. it was a beautiful tuesday, smelled just like back to school.

as i made my way to my second class of the day, my professor informed us that there had been an attack at World Trade. to be very honest - i didn't know what to think, i don't think it registered until I heard my father has gone to pick me up at school.

there where so many parents scared for their kids - i couldn't find my dad in the mix.. after some time my best friend and some close friends left the school and went home.. i don't think it had registered at all.

i got home turned on the tv and i couldn't believe my eyes. did this really happen? was i dreaming? it just didn't make sense then.. and it be honest it still doesn't 11 years later.

till this day i hate even say 9-11 together. just makes me cringe. 

but i must say.. as fast and in a hurry as us New Yorkers run we slowed down and realized there is so much more to life. and how lucky we all are to be here. how lucky all those survivors where and all the wonderful heroes we lost.

New Yorkers became much more of unit - i have always and will always be a proud New Yorker but eleven years later i am prouder and i will continue to be and i will hold on those feelings i felt close to my heart.

such a tragic day yet such a triumph at the end.

to all the souls lost but never forgotten. let's have a moment of silence.
