Sorry for the radio silence

Ok – so I have been a major slacker with updating the blog. Luckily work has been insanely busy and I have been taking advantage of my new neighborhood. I have much to write about and will be updating it regularly from here on out.

Adjusting to the West Village has been a great experience. I have to confess I went through a bit of culture shock. I went from bums drinking in my doorway to sharing the street with super models. I am spoiled by the luxuries in the neighborhood I am regularly tempted by the world renowned restaurants, bakeries, clothing and shoe shops, bars and chocolate shops - some of these located just outside my door.

I now walk only two blocks to do laundry, the shortest distance I have walked since moving to the city. I can easily access my bank and multiple grocery stores. However, I try to go to some of the more affordable grocery stores outside of the neighborhood such as Whole Foods. I never thought I would consider Whole Paycheck a more affordable store. My commute to work is also much easier. It is just a short subway ride and then an hour on the LIRR (Long Island Railroad). It still takes about an hour and a half to get there.

The apartment is really coming together. I have most of the furniture in place and all that is really left is hanging pictures. I have also been able to set up a decent home office for the 2 or 3 days of the week that I work from home. Oh and I love the 5 flights of stairs. With all of the great food I have outside my door, I need as much exercise as I can get.

Stay tuned for updated pictures of the apartment.
