A chronicle of people, places, happenings, and creations we admire.
We may have a map and a compass-like mind
Let's ask anyway, what we're trying to find
One may be a fantastic detective
but asking directions gives a different perspective
The locals know what's what and what's not
maybe that bar isn't really our kind of hot...
Using all our incredible senses
is not among life's biggest offenses
Let's put the smartphone away
and wonder about, just stray
Explore and experience more!
Isn't that what we're all here for?
The extremely limited M-P Edition 'Safari' from Leica is finished in exquisite and durable olive green enamel and is resistant to fingerprints, chemicals, solvents and UV light; the iconic 'Leica' brand script etched atop the camera body. All of the exterior metal body parts are machined from solid brass. It's so exclusive, you won't even find the usual red Leica 'Dot' logo on the front.
This modern digital instrument, meant for amateurs and professionals alike, is absolutely drenched in heritage paying homage to the fabled Leica brand as the leader in serious photography equipment. The M-P Edition 'Safari' comes with a beautiful leather strap and memory / credit card holder.

As we all know
when it works, the subway is the fastest way to go
This travel can be delicate
without some "proper etiquette"
The list of do's and don'ts is long
New Yorkers know what's right, what's wrong
We all agree our trip is eased
when we're not squeezed, teased or in any other way displeased
The most reliable way around town?
Walking! East, west, up and down
Focused, fast and checking our clocks
We're counting the street and avenue blocks
Eyeing the crosswalk countdown to zero
Our coat like the cape of a superhero
Stomping away on the bustling street
Thanking our terrifically trusted feet!
A Recap of our discoveries in February.

Say hello, talk about the weather or the mail
Eye contact, a smile, let's not just bail
Not only is this polite
but may be helpful that dark, rainy night
when we ring their doorbell and say “Please,
would you let me in? I forgot my keys”
If we're moving here or visiting from afar
remember, others have been where we are
Though we may feel like explorers in our newfound 'hood
the family down the street has been here since the Knicks were really good
Let's respect the exchange
between change and history's range
Each person with a different story
-- New York City's true glory
