It's been waitin' for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York...
{Welcome to New York -- Taylor Swift}
It's fun to move to a familiar place. It's new in terms of where I am living and I know this area very well, but I still feel like I am rediscovering it as a permanent resident.
My mom and I moved to Westchester 13 summers ago, first living across the county in Tarrytown. 11 years ago we got a place in White Plains. It was home for a few college summers and many a vacation away from school and now work. Now, it's my home!
White Plains is often called a "mini-NYC" - 30 minute express trip into Grand Central by train. The downtown has been a financial center for years, with many people reverse commuting out of the city or from around the region. But, outside those downtown, city center, blocks you have lovely suburbs - big old houses, smaller condos, and tons of parks.
The Bronx River snakes through WP and has my favorite local running path and there are fun city parks and fountains everywhere. I'm a 10 minute walk to Target, Starbucks, and more but also able to hit the trails for an escape from the "city life."
I cannot wait for COVID to really ease up so I can take the train into the city regularly - but for now, I am re-enjoying White Plains being home base!

I don't know if I've ever been to White Plains!
Delightful captures all!
So many wonderful adventures and lovely photos xx
That tile shot is brilliant and I love the bandstand too! Glad the move went well and you are happy there!
I like the "Welcome" sign and the lovely fountain. Have a great day.
take care in NY! Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your week.
Glad you are moved in and loving it!
There is so much to see and do in NYC! Best wishes on your new place in White Plains
Such a great spot there for you. Looks like a wonderful place.
I've learned so much about Boston from your blog, and now I'm excited to learn White Plains! (Currently I only know it as the source of Rachel's apothecary table on Friends. Pitiful, I know.)
We LOVE White Plains although now with Dave's cousins living in Pleasantville, we spend more time there. Although White Plains is still our go-to for taking the train to NYC and going to Target! Have fun rediscovering your city.
