Happy New Year, one and all!
There is something to be said for the semblance and motivation of a clean slate and a fresh start.
This is a belated postcard from last week spent up in the Nyacks, watching the icy and foggy mornings dissolve into afternoons full of winter sunshine.
I am a city girl, but I do adore the feel and flavor of quaint small towns.
And Nyack meets all the prerequisites: it has an adorable breakfast place (Strawberry Place), a bookstore full of hidden treasures (Pickwick Books) …
A beautiful and busy library in an old Carnegie building overlooking the Hudson River, a great coffee shop (Gypsy Donuts)..
A place for morning buns & zucchini muffins and a very popular cyclist stop (The Runcible Spoon), and a little art museum (Edward Hopper House).
And streets to wander and wander.
Here’s to great wanders in 2015.

Teresa says
What a gorgeous place to visit! I love the city, but I definitely need small town time one or two weekends a year. There are some sweet places on BC’s Sunshine Coast and on Vancouver Island that have the same sort of vibe that Nyack seems to have.
saffronandhoney says
Same here, Teresa – I need the energy and accessibility of a city most days, but my head also needs the space and warmth of a small town from time to time!

I should convince my husband to do more little weekend trips to places close to the city. I need to get out of Brooklyn more often! Happy new year to you!

This one is an easy day trip. A very happy New Year to your whole family, Steph!
