British Airways is known for the steepest "fuel surchages," especially on award tickets--but a group of frequent fliers has sued, pointing out that the fees seem to bear no relation to fuel costs at all.  A senior judge in the U. S. District...

I've often advised travelers with jam-packed itineraries to step back and leave themselves time to take a walk in a park or sit there a while, experiencing what the locals see and do. When we travel, it's one of our favorite things to do (we even...

Grand Army Plaza is one of Brooklyn's hubs, where Prospect Park meets the Central Library, a memorial arch, the Greenmarket and much more.

A travelers wanders at home, trying to view his neighborhood as he views others, and wondering how others see his.

In a sort of 'back to the future' movement, New York City is expanding its current few river ferries into a full-scale transit system, starting next year.

This picture was inspired by a 1930s Berenice Abbott photograph of lower Manhattan from the waterfront that I used in a blog about changing Manhattan views.

Samantha and her husband enjoyed watching this little boy feed "his birds" on a recent trip to NYC.

Among the many other schools designed by CBJ Snyder was P.S. 165 on the Upper West Side of Manhattan - which was where I attended from kindergarten to 6th grade. Also Morris HS in the Bronx. Here are links to pictures (since they are not mine): PS 165 Morris HS

Didn't realize that PS 165 was also by Snyder. I attended 1st grade there in 1950-51 and spent a lot of time outside the Principal's office.

Each of the boroughs of the newly-merged New York City got one brand-new and large high school. Curtis in Staten Island, Flushing in Queens and DeWitt Clinton in Manhattan were the others,...

Thanks Samantha - I enjoyed my time visiting this Blog. I love Markets.

Looks like an oasis of culture in a big city. I love to see markets and open spaces where people can meet and chat. Puts the heart back in the community. A real mixture of photos that took me a while to guess what country I was in. A good challenge to the WITW is Gumbo fans. Maybe a passing similarity ?..

Yes...let's see who gets this one! Like the Gumbo piece I did once on copies all over the world of the Statue of Liberty , that Roman Arch theme is everywhere!

You can try if you wish Paul, but I've got no other pictures to add to it !

That's quite a skyline -- then and now!

Love seeing all these pictures. Just went to New York this year for the first time and fell in love with the city. Can't wait to go back and visit again. Thanks for the happy memories.

I’m sure there must be some place without birds, but I haven’t been there. And everywhere I have been, the birds have caught my attention....

Really enjoyed this article.

Samantha and her husband had a great visit to New York and enjoyed their visit to Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Manhattan Bridge

Jonathan L visits a piece of African-American History in Brooklyn, New York

Every place we travel has its landmarks, and for nearly every city on a significant river, at least some of those landmarks turn out to be bridges.  

Very interesting!
