Hook and Ladder 8 Firehouse in Tribeca

By: Seth Fera-Schanes NYC has been the main subject or backdrop for countless movies.  Walk around long enough and certain streets, parks or buildings will start to look very familiar as you recall seeing them in a movie you watched growing up. Whether it is Katz’s Deli (When […]

Xu Bing Phoenix at Cathedral of Saint John the Divine

The Cathedral of Saint John the Divine is located on 113th and Amsterdam Avenue in Manhattan.  It is one of my favorite buildings in the city, one of the largest churches in the world and also boasts a pair of peacocks that roam around the grounds out back.  Bottom line is the next time you are in the city, make a trip uptown and visit the church.

FAN Mini Photo Tour Around The City

By Seth Fera-Schanes I have included a small photo gallery below of some pictures I took around the city.  If you live in New York or are just visiting, be sure to have your camera with you if you are going to explore the city.

Get Excited But Not Really Really Excited

By Seth Fera-Schanes Attention readers:  It is 52 degrees in New York City right now.  That is about 25 degrees warmer than it has been for the past few months.  As a result, the residents of this city have peeled off a few outer layers and are out […]

New York Tech City

By Seth Fera-Schanes Do a quick internet search for tech start-ups in nyc and you’ll get a lot of hits.  New York City, known to many for food, fashion and finance (and obviously so many more industries) also has a healthy and growing technology scene. Instead of a […]

New York City Winter in February

By Seth Fera-Schanes The winter keeps on going and snowing, freezing, melting, refreezing….you get the picture.  Well, here are a few more pics of this snowy New York City winter.  Enjoy and stay warm.

So They Say It’s Cold Outside

By: Seth Fera-Schanes First week into February and I am officially admitting winter has gotten to me.  There has been a recent spat of polar vortex’s, snow, rain, ice and general grayness moving through the city.  I actually learned an interesting new winter recipe this week: One part […]

Niagara Falls During The Winter

Full Access NYC, why are you referencing Western New York in your title?  First, I probably shouldn’t be questioning myself to set up some type of engaging response.  Second, I was actually in Niagara Falls and Buffalo this past weekend and got some nice pictures.  Lastly, there are three major airports in the tri-state area and one can take advantage of all the potential travel opportunities these offer.

New York City is one exciting, hectic, almost perpetual motion machine but this comes with a drawback.  It becomes a sensory overload and sometimes you need to step outside of the city to decompress or just see some trees (or in my case a giant waterfall.)

JFK Airport in the Snow

Winter has definitely picked up the pace and today another layer of snow blanketed the city.  I was out at JFK airport this morning and took a few pictures of the planes getting deiced on the tarmac and the surrounding neighborhood.  I have mentioned this before but when it snows in the city you have to jump on the opportunity to take some pics before everything turns into one big grey soupy mess.  The remaining pictures are of Queens and the neighborhoods close to JFK.  Enjoy.

Super Bowl 48 Activities in Times Square

Super Bowl Boulevard took over Times Square in advance of Super Bowl 48 this week.  I posted a few picture galleries of some of the performances earlier in the week.

In addition to singing and dancing there were a lot of other activities and sights to see such as seeing the Vince Lombardi trophy on display or a British Marching band just cruising down the street.
