A gorgeous place to wander and explore, especially during cherry blossom season when the colonnade of soft pink cherry trees are in full bloom on the esplanade. I’m also a big fan of the tropical and desert gardens.

Home of Casa Bosques chocolates, to purchase directly at the studio.  By appointment only. 

The Ear Bar has been in New York longer than any of us. In a city of vacuous fleeting trendy bars the Ear Bar (which is really called the Ear Inn but I've never called it that) is the real deal.

This is a tiny street with a lot of character and can be often missed. I love the little brick houses and coloring of the street.

What can I say, I love donuts and these are my favorite in New York.
