If you follow my Instagram feed, you’ve already seen these. If not, here’s a peek into our New York City explorations last week.

Danny and I spent the two days after Katrina and Chris’s fabulous wedding wandering Manhattan and DUMBO, where we stayed with Danny’s aunt and uncle in their loft in a converted printing warehouse. And we loved it. We loved the hustle and bustle. We loved the history etched in brick and steel juxtaposed against the ever-changing advertisements flashing in Times Square and the ever-changing fashions parading along 5th Avenue (and, during Fashion Week, which was taking place while we were there, even more so in Chelsea). We loved the diversity packed into this pulsing center of modern civilization — and the stories. The stories people in New York have to share would be enough to keep us there, listening, forever.

But we came home, of course. So until next time, we’ll relive New York in black and white.~ Laura
