Olympics Fever in NYC

Olympic fever has struck NYC! Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park, and even the Omega store in Brookfield Place all have fun displays to celebrate this year's winter games.

It's fun to see how these games brings out the team spirit in all of us and the sudden interest in sports most of us have never heard or and will never dare try!

Go Team USA!

The Good. The Random. The Fun. v. 6

The Good:

I finally checked out the new fancy grocery in Sleepy Hollow. Love how they leaned into the town vibe!

(Yes...my good is a grocery store...it was -20 windchills most of the week, I am grasping at straws here people!) 

The Random:

I did a really good double-take when I saw the massive OU (kosher symbol) next to the words "bacon" and "pork" - it's a vegan alternative! Yes I bought the "pulled pork" - I'll report back!

The Fun:

I spent the weekend glued to the tv watching the Olympics! Does anyone else get misty-eyed when they play the national anthem?

A Frozen Hudson

I saw that the Hudson was freezing over down in Manhattan, so I got curious and wanted to see how things were up here in Westchester. Well, it's almost frozen straight across. There seemed to be a very narrow lane of water between Tarrytown and Nyack. That is just under 3 miles of frozen river!

It really was stunning (albeit a bit blinding in the sun) to walk along the riverwalk. I saw some geese go sliding on the ice while landing, and you could see a variety of animal footprints on the snow. I really loved the way the water was frozen in chunks along the pier and barrier walls. 

To say it's been cold lately....well, that is an understatement!

GRIDS

The David Zwimmer Gallery in Chelsea has an electric exhibit right now. GRIDS by artist Dan Glavin is lighting up the rooms of the gallery with these fun, neon grids.

Flavin created these sculptures using commercially available fluorescent light fixtures.

He says of light: "One might not think of light as a matter of fact, but I do. And it is, as I said, as plain and open and direct an art as you will ever find.”

This was a fun burst of color in these cold, white, dark months!

The Good. The Random. The Fun. v. 5

The Good:

Today is Tu B'Shevat - the Jewish holiday of the trees. We celebrate that in Israel, the trees are waking up and starting to bloom. While here in New York, we've been in the single digits for weeks, the Hudson River is frozen solid, and the icicles look like this (: 

The Random:

A tradition on Tu B'Shevat is to eat lots of yummy fruits (and other foods we classify as from the trees ie certain nuts). The local kosher market had a whole display of fun fruits, including these adorable mini-pineapples!

The Fun:

Chelsea Market had this cool mini-exhibit all about the design of movie posters. It was cool to see some iconic ones and learn the "science" behind how they're laid out.

Arte Museum

We checked out the new ARTE Museum on my birthday. It's located in Chelsea Piers and is the newest immersive art museum in the city. It was really great with room after room of mirrored, immersive fun.

There was a nature theme that went from room to room. We saw oceans, waterfalls, whales, and the stars and even a tornado! My favorite was the stars, which was an infinity room filled with paper lanterns!

It was a perfect cold-weather activity and a fun day date together!
