Riverside Summer

Went for a walk in the park today. I"m so lucky to go on weekday noons/afternoons because most people are at work and Riverside is relatively empty. They left the street lamps aglow and the waves of sun rays filtering through the leaves really relax me. I don't even take my headphones anymore. It's nice to just listen to the trees and breeze.

Moral Intuition

Moral judgments are more intuition-based rather than reason-based, especially when there's a relevant, interdependent group involved that brings out the cooperative side of our evolutionary instinct. Kinship, not Kant, triumphs in the end.

Parks better than Park Avenue

My feelings about urbanity put into psych experiment form. Nature better for mental well being.

Le Love Lair 3.5

Jail-cell dorm turned dreamer's retreat.

Flowers

Heralding the summer session: fresh blooms.

E.A.T Bakery

Eli Zabar of Zabar groceries has a fresh (albeit overpriced) eatery @ 80th & Madison. Perfect for post-MET walking recovery. Try the liver sandwich on raisin bread (I swear it's delish!)

Big Bambú at the MET

Redefining urban jungle at the MET rooftop garden. The artists made the whole walkable structure from Bamboo sticks tied geometrically, strategically, con elastic bands. Gorgeous contrast with NY skyscrapers in the background.
