Painstakingly Reimagining City’s Cabs, Down to the Floor Mats, details the various thought processes and designs for the new cabs, which will start to roll out in 2013 and then ultimately replace all taxis within 5 years. For everyone who [...]

The Yule Log – An NYC Wordless Wednesday Fireplace
Posted in Christmas, holidays, life in nyc, tagged Christmas, fake fireplace, new york city, Yule log on December 14, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Nothing says holidays in NYC like the Yule Log. Because who builds a fire in an NYC apartment? If you grew up in the 70′s and 80′s in NYC the answer was WPIX (channel 11). Now it’s available on demand on TWC channel 1006 – in HD. So much better than hauling wood – and [...]
Behind the Scenes at Mary Poppins – Disney Magic In Times Square
Posted in kids, life in nyc, theater, tagged broadway, Disney, Mary Poppins, nyc, Times Square, Ziegfeld on December 7, 2011 | 3 Comments »
A few weeks ago we were invited to take a backstage tour of the New Amsterdam Theater on 42nd Street, current home of the Disney Broadway musical, Mary Poppins. The New Amsterdam is a particularly rich historical theater – it housed the Ziegfeld Follies and the fabulous Fanny Brice and is haunted by the ghost [...]

Posted in Christmas, events, Hanukkah, life in nyc, tagged American Museum of Natural History, central park, Christmas, FAO Schwarz, MasterCard, metropolitan opera, new york city on November 28, 2011 | 5 Comments »
It goes without saying that I love raising my kids in NYC. One of things I love the most is the incredible opportunities that are available to us just by living here. We’ve gone behind the scenes at the Metropolitan Opera (this actually fulfilled one of MY biggest wishes), been to the Origami Tree Lighting [...]

It’s everything we own piled into one room so our renovation can begin. Pretty scary.
Are NYC Parents Crazy?
Posted in life in nyc, parenting, tagged blogher, chelsea piers, new york city, raising kids in the city, Times Square, upper west side on August 9, 2011 | 6 Comments »
This is a post I wrote a year ago for the Westside Independent, but after meeting so many women this weekend at BlogHer who asked me how I could raise my kids in NYC I thought I’d repost it here on Beccarama for a whole new audience. Are city parents crazy? This is the question [...]
Film Set on my Doorstep
Posted in life in nyc, wordless wednesday, tagged checker cab, film sets, nyc, wordless wednesday on August 3, 2011 | 6 Comments »
Walked outside my door and saw this parked on the street. Plus an entire street of classic 60s cars. Don’t know what they were filming but it’s the perfect reminder that you never know what you’re going to bump into in NYC. Plus, I wish they’d bring back the checker cab.
ManhattanHenge – It’s all about the grid
Posted in life in nyc, wordless wednesday, tagged manhattan, Manhattanhenge, new york city, photography on June 1, 2011 | 3 Comments »
The sun perfectly aligned with the east-west grid of Manhattan and created a seriously cool effect. My husband and I saw it first hand as we walked up Broadway during sunset on the Upper West Side. This photo came to my attention by way of the West Side Rag. It’s by Michael Huitt of Michael [...]
