I discovered the Frick my first week in New York, during a heat wave in August. The galleries were surprisingly empty, with only the occasional visitor strolling through the rooms, gently creaking the floorboards. I stood for a while in front of the Bronzino, a portrait of a boy standing against a background of green drapery, and then sat in the courtyard for a long, cool hour.

My first job in the city. The family and friends and raised New York Megan. Also very good coffee. And lovely neighbors.

Adore is my favorite spot to carefully select a few beautiful flowers to take home or bring as a gift. I always try to pair my visit with a trip right around the corner, to Dashwood Books, for a great selection of art books.

Prints, artist editions and various printed ephemera to buy and to look at. A wonderful place.

I like my street because there's always some character strolling down it like so.
