Took me 10 years, but I made it to the Panorama at the Queens Museum, a scale model of NYC’s five boroughs (1 inch=100 feet) built for the 1964 World’s Fair. Not the easiest place to get to, but definitely worth seeing. And a million memories all over the city! To help keep up with the cost & updates, the museum allows you to “purchase real estate” on the Panorama, which I think is a pretty cool gift.

A mini-date with @alexherrmannnyc! My new favorite place, DEVON, on the Lower East Side. Named for owner Oliver Zabar’s (@olivertweest) mother. Best fish sandwich ever. How lucky that Sophie got to snuggle Devon herself! (Swipe) @dsfez

First time facing the world in the carrier. “Please stay little, but can you also please grow up healthy” seems to be the main thing running through my mind these days.

You think they’re related? LOVE!!

It’s a magic little corner of NYC. V. close to masses of people taking pics of the “Friends” building. Favorite line from Friends? Mine is still “PIVOT!!!!” #grovecourt

4.5 months. Best thing I ever did.

Beautiful blooms on a cold night to celebrate BERMUDA, an island I love. Thanks @bermuda for a lovely evening.

I love this tiny restaurant so much. Because it was where newborn Sophie and I would hang out and meet people from the neighborhood. Because it says he opens at 10:30am but it’s almost never 10:30am. Because he - Lillo, the owner - used to run a bakery in Rome and makes the best cornetto this side of Italy. (They’re much less buttery than a croissant, faintly scented with orange zest. Unless you get the Nutella version, but I hate hazelnuts 😮). Because it makes me happy to walk here and then through Cobble Hill. Everything - soup, pasta, cabbage alla Lillo, salad - is so good. No bathroom/cash only.

West 78th Street.

It already feels like a distant memory (!!) but there was a solid 2 months where I dreaded the sun going down. Because it meant another sleepless night was ahead...there was a point where she was waking up every 90 minutes for four straight weeks. There was one really bad night when - if it wasn’t for my friend @barrediva texting me - I wanted to jump off a figurative cliff. And then, seemingly overnight, it turned. She found her thumb, or maybe it was the sleep consultant, or maybe it was when her little body finally hit 12 pounds, or maybe it was when we let her cry it out more. Or maybe it’s 8 long flights in her first four months?! She’s so, so good now. She puts herself to sleep almost immediately, sleeps 12 hours, and wakes up smiling. And I’m so proud of her. And I already miss those sleepless newborn nights. Hahahahaha - JUST KIDDING.

I dream of @jeffleatham one day arranging flowers in my home. I ❤️ you and your gorgeous flower arrangements, Jeff! Sunset in L.A. ☀️

Raise your hand if this guy has shaped your travel to Europe in any way. I can’t count the number of travelers I’ve seen carrying his blue books in London, Paris, Rome, Switzerland, and beyond. He’s the best! Such a great dinner @1000placestoseebeforeyoudie @thetravelphile @ricksteveseurope @alexherrmannnyc @samanthabrowntravels @giankevo @travadventure
