The Bronx Botanical Garden is a place my father and I have been going to since I was a child. Here's a photograph I took of him here. It has hundreds of species of trees and flowers.

Best pizza in NY. Be prepared to wait. Check to see if they are shut down by the health department or tax collectors before going. Get the square pie with pepperoni and hot peppers.

I made my decision to move to New York when biking over the pink bridge one afternoon in early fall 2010.

I also love exercising running over it – and as a bonus looking at all the graffiti and writings and people passing by.
