Day Tripping: Split Rock, The Gunks, and Furious Vulvas {Vegan in New Paltz}

Every once and a while, you have to seek out nature, ascend an incline that is not manmade but randomly place by the elements and duck under a canopy of trees, inside their crisp, fresh breath.  So CandyPenny and I braved the rough terrain of the trails of Mohonk Preserve in New Paltz, New Read more…


Photo Purge

My classroom mushrooms. My lil’ guy. Happiness is a vintage dress. My chariot awaits.


Birthday, Part 3: Whose Streets?

I don’t work on my birthday. It’s kind of a rule. I usually flee town, hitting the road for vegan eats and roadside attractions. But times are tight. With cash flow low, I planned to spend the day in my city, New York City, enjoying the sights on my own Read more…


Vegan on the Jersey Shore, Part 3: Seaside Heights

When I spoke of my childhood memories of the Jersey Shore I was remembering our visits to Seaside Heights, an amusement-filled length of boardwalk that stretches into the Atlantic ocean. I hadn’t been there since I was a little girl and was happy to see that the place still had Carny Read more…

Picture a Day Summer Break #4


} Spring Delirium {

Little delicate weeds get no love. They look like shy, optimistic chit-chatters. “Hey! Hey you! Look how bright and pretty we are!” Holy stigma. “Hi. We’re less enthusiastic than the red ones. Notice us if you wish–or not; we’ll be fine either way.” “Mnmm mnnmmm.” So Delicious Turtle Trails… and Read more…


Dear Butterfly Bushes at Boyfriend’s House,

You’re kind of the most beautiful thing ever. And I kind of want a black polka-dot face.

Beautiful Moab, Utah

Setting off bright and early from the very cheapo Lazy Lizard Hostel in Moab, CandyPenny and I skipped breakfast and coffee, making a b-line to Arches National Park and its gorgeous collection of natural sandstone arches. We had planned to enter the park in time to view the hot rocks during Read more…

Raton, New Mexico

Up on New York time. The Adorable Maverick Motel. Old trailers. Hot air balloon launch site was right behind the motel. Pop. TV.


These Are a Few of My Favorite Things: T&L Storms

The clouds and the sky, uninterrupted here, are quite distracting while driving. Plumes of crisp, starchy whites, grey veils and every shade (or absence of shade) in between transformed the space above the horizon to a mesmerizing and dizzying focal point. Entering the Rockies from the Great Plains there was Read more…


Embrace the Place

After crashing hard from the evening before, morning had us ready to hit the road for reals. We had a loose destination, an eatery in Fort Worth, Texas about 3 hours or so north from Austin. But after that… the unknown… kinda. We were going to take it one day Read more…


Camera Upgrade

Doubling my megapixel count, I am now the proud owner of a new digital SLR camera. I spent a whole morning getting to know its buttons and dials around the grounds of The Electrician‘s, who so generously bestowed it to me, in sly fashion, in honor of my graduation. Besides Read more…


Stunning Guanajuato

Guanajuato, which is right smack dab in the center of Mexico, is known for its beautiful bastillicas, brightly colored dwellings stacked into its surrounding mountains and its festive celebrating of Dia de los Muertos, the reason for our visit. One of Mexico’s oldest cities, it is steeped in history, brimming Read more…


These Are A Few of My Favorite Things: Taking Pictures

Ever since I got my first Le Click camera as a lil’ bambino I have loved taking pictures. I have albums documenting my life, its inhabitants and biomes, since elementary school. I have several theories about why that I’m sure you’ll find cogent had I the energy to explain. But Read more…

Welcoming the Year of the Ox

It was a mild and beautiful Sunday for the Lunar New Year Parade & Festival in Chinatown. What a glorious afternoon! The confetti storms against the crisp blue sky were beautifully surreal and color, dance and cheer party-popped through the streets to frighten the evil spirits that may impede on Read more…


Watching Paint Peel

Returning from evening classes at Brooklyn College via Q train, I sat on the train’s last car for an easy connection at Union Square. After a full day of work and school, (I wasn’t going to waste time, finally mine, by walking the length of the platform to connect.) The Read more…


I Love NYC Weekend: Staycation

This weekend marked Wok Man’s 1-year anniversary here in New York City. In light of the milestone, the events planner within grabbed the reigns for a fitting commemoration: A New York City Staycation. The celebration began with a New York food staple: the bagel. Although many states and locales attempt Read more…
