"It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood . . . "
I've had the fortune to visit NY several times in the past four years. When I've been here, the stay has been anywhere from 3-5 days at a time. The agendas have been: see and do as much as possible in the amount of time given . . . which loosely translates to - since you're not paying for 'room' you've got money to spend on other stuff!
This visit is very different. I'm still not paying for where I sleep, but I'm not really visiting, I'm living here - for the next month or so.
Walking the blocks with Max on the way to the different 'bark-parks' gives me the chance to see stores and shops I've not really paid much attention to before - laundromats, grocery stores, etcs, those day-to-day necessities you make mental note of for future reference.
I'll be here for a total of seven weeks . . . which in the past six months is the longest I've been settled into in any one location!
Does this mean by the time I leave, I can call myself a New-Yorker? Probably not, but fun to consider!

Not sure, how you'd actually get Max up there, but there is a great dog park in Fort Tyron Park at 190th Street on the A-Line.
You could just go explore it by yourself first. Take the A-Train to the 190th Street Station and then exit through the Elevator up to Fort Tyron Park. There is a great little cafe you should check out (Green Leaf Cafe) and they have a nice flower garden, plus you can visit the Cloisters which are really beautiful, too!
Great idea! I think I'll check that out, but I'll have to give some thought to how Max would get there.
I've actually been to the Cloisters and I agree. What a beautiful place!
