took a trip to new york to check out the us open - got to watch rafa play under the open skies with planes flying in and out of JFK
the lights of arthur ashe stadium in the early evening - the atmosphere is quite unlike other sporting events - i must say that the open is quite an experience

perhaps one of the best pizza's i've had in a long time - courtesy of john's of bleecker street

new york seems to still have a healthy number of family-run businesses passed down through the generations - here a neighborhood store sells pickled fish in the lower east side
fine dining in midtown
there are pockets of serenity in the concrete jungle - jackie o reservoir in central park
a wide-angle view of time square on a hot summer night
