Happy New Year!  Its been a LONG while since I’ve written a post and it feels good to sit here typing away again at what I hope you enjoy as much as I do.

As my parents were cleaning out their basement getting ready for yet another move, they found one of my box of goodies that I stored down there after my move from Boston to NYC.  Exiting to go through my life of 8 years in Boston, I found a 13 year old “artifact” that illustrates my love for travel and for NYC.

All of these years later, I forgot about this page from the Attache and I forgot about the hotel.  I can’t recall where I was flying to, because at the time, I flew US Airways A LOT. However, I do remember ripping this page out of their magazine and thinking that I loved the concept of the hotel and I’d love to take a look at a few of the different rooms. Ironically, over the 7 years of working near Bryant Park, I had been to Madison & Vine, the restaurant that anchors the hotel, a few times, still not remembering what I had read all of these years earlier.

Finding this page, among other things in that long lost box of treasures, invigorated me to resume writing and exploring NYC – a great way to begin the new year and not let the frigid weather get the best of me.

Happy and a healthy 2015 and stay warm!
