Cherokee Place and the Pavillion abut John Jay Park. The river ripples by us, seen over the FDR traffic. End of the summer season is here so this was the last sighting of the orange umbrellas at poolside.

For an opinionated woman such as I, blogging is an excellent outlet. This is one of many fori that I use to bloviate. Enjoy! Comment on my commentary.
Over the FDR
Across the river, Roosevelt Island looms, its residences crammed compactly into elongated real estate.
Walk… Run
How often do you walk or run?
My assumption about this habit of transportation throws this question into a limbo.
Doesn’t everyone who can walk or run every day?
Picture this
Do you see yourself as a leader?
Only if you’re following me here… and here…. and there.
Riverfront etc
Cherokee Place
Walk-a-bout!
Peace and latte

There’s a bakery, Patisserie Vanessa, where there is no music piping in. What I first noticed was how quiet the girls behind the counter are. It’s refreshing.
You might call this little cafe the inverse Starbucks. Whisper-quiet patrons spread out at their little workstations.
It’s like Starbucks-meets-librarie.
My coffee trail review gives Vanessa’s 5-stars for the cappuccino I enjoyed and another 5 for the lush latte that followed.
