West End Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper West Side

By Seth Fera-Schanes There are a lot of long avenues in NYC. During the early hours on the weekend (around 7am) you can find these avenues relatively free of traffic and that makes for a good photo opportunity.  Note, don’t just stand in the middle of the street […]

Mighty Quinn’s BBQ in the East Village

By Seth Fera-Schanes If a restaurant’s name is any indicator of its culinary prowess, than Mighty Quinn’s should be one stellar BBQ joint.  And after my meal there last night, I can say with confidence this place delivered. Located on 6th St. and 2nd Ave, Mighty Quinn’s serves […]

By Seth Fera-Schanes I think I just described everything in the title but allow me to expand a bit.  I ran the annual midnight New Year’s Eve race through Central Park this year. This event is a great way to ring in the new year.  Join a couple […]

Times Square 2014

By Seth Fera-Schanes Are you ready to say goodbye to 2013 and welcome in 2014?  Have you ever considered ringing in the new year in the middle of Times Square?  It will be cold and once you are in you are committed to spending the next 6-8 hours […]

The Life of a Christmas Tree in NYC

By Seth Fera-Schanes Starting immediately after Thanksgiving, Christmas tree stands spring up all over the city.  The fresh Noble and Douglas pines are trucked in from Canada and in typical NYC fashion are not cheap.  I have seen 7 foot trees selling for $130 (no joke.) For the […]

National Academy Museum
