By Seth Fera-Schanes I posted about a mini Fall Adventure with a friend where we accidentally ended up in the Bronx Botanical Garden. We were there the first week of November and happened to catch the garden in some prime fall foliage. Here are a few pictures from […]

By Seth Fera-Schanes I had a mini walking trip planned this weekend with a friend who was in town on a business trip. It was to include Alexander Hamilton’s House, Edgar Allan Poe’s Cottage and Woodlawn Cemetery. We made it to the first location (which was great) but […]

By Seth Fera-Schanes What do you get when you combine a fish tank and an indoor garden? Aqualibrium. Here is the quick back story. I like to walk around the Union Square Farmer’s Market most Saturday mornings. I met a guy who along with his friends started a […]
