Nick and I walked home one night this weekend and couldn't help but gush over our neighborhood. It was late and we were starving so we grabbed some cheap food from the delicious late-night taco stand. We thought about how the woman in the bakery next door knows Nick's coffee order, the woman at the laundromat always gives us more free detergent even when we insist we don't need it, the guys at the bagel shop recognize us whenever we come in. We have open skies, friendly neighbors, and everything we need is at our disposal without getting on the subway. We are loving New York City more and more each day but we especially love that at the end of the day, we can come back to the quiet, communal, and quaint neighborhood that we've called home for over a year now.

gorgeous autumn colors and a cute church just down the street from us
