The Road Home from the Holiday Rush
Though the streets of New York may still be crowded with holiday shoppers, some residents and visitors are now finding their way home. With two days left to Christmas Eve, it's time to sort gifts, find the wrapping paper, bake the cookies, and warm the tired feet.
Santa himself should be a little tired by now, dreaming of a vacation in warm weather.
The holiday trees are starting to look a little lonesome and in need of a nap.
May the streets lead you home to a warm room and a comfortable chair.
After much strolling, Walking Off the Big Apple is home now, sorting gifts, finding wrapping paper, baking cookies and warming tired feet. It's been a wonderful year on the streets of the city, and I look forward to returning in the new year.
Happy Holidays, everyone! See you back here on New Year's Eve.

Your blog was a source of wonderfull walks early December. I had already visited NYC a number of times, but this time I searched some of your suggestions, and loved it. Since this trip NYC and I have an emotional affair. Serious.

Many thanks for a year of delightful rambles, both physical and intellectual.
ReplyDeleteI've had a running love affair with NYC for the 45+ years that I've lived here, and am always thrilled when someone else responds to it the way I do.
With best wishes for a 2010 filled with wonderful surprises, and happy wanderings.
