Hope you all had a great weekend. I went out and about with my dog Laila, as usual. My husband likes to sleep in, watch football, and relax at home. But I like to use my weekends to get out of the house and get inspired, Laila has been a perfect partner. We went to Central Park as usual, where she can be let off leash at certain hours. The leaves were beautiful. Even though it’s a bit cold, I prefer this to the heat. You can always put on another layer but there are only so many you can take off.
When we walked back through Times Square we saw this funny congregation of children’s characters. Recently Times Square has been filled with people in these large costumes. They take pictures with tourists and then ask for donations. It’s a clever idea, especially in front of the huge Toys R Us store.
Lastly, I saw this page in a magazine and thought it was so fitting to how I feel about NYC. I did not grow up here, but I do consider myself a true New Yorker and I would never want to live anywhere else (except maybe Paris 
) I am always so appreciative to live in such a unique and cultural city. I try and take advantage of all that my “backyard” has to offer each weekend. What did you guys do this weekend?
