the grass is greener.

my absolute favorite spot out of all the acres in new york city is sheep's meadow. its the largest meadow in Central Park, filled with...... nothing really. just grass, a tree or two, and relaxed New Yorkers. bring a towel, spread out, lay down, and close your eyes.

i don't want to wax philosphical about it, but parks really are the most peaceful part of the city. living in the city, it gets so hectic. its a walk-fast-or-be-pushed type of town, where the continuous hustle and bustle can weigh down on you after years of surviving it. to find a bit of calm, to find a bit of land to yourself.. its glorious.

when its lovely outside, suz and i eat our midday lunch in Bryant Park. one of the most effective ways to break up the work day, i feel. i sound like a PSA but its soo true.

there's nothing too deep about parks in the city.. they're just our little oasises (that can't be spelled right). i swear, the trees block out the sounds of car honks and people's chatter. the smells are wonderful, the flowers plentiful, the happy faces abound. a 10 minute walk through one will do you a world of good.

and check out Sheep's Meadow. bring a frisbee and a friend and perhaps an ice cream cone. you won't regret it.
