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.

  1. Happy New year! Wish you much health and prosperity in 2015! May all your dreams and travel plans come true in the months ahead!

    Warm greetings from the South of France!!

  2. 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.

    1. 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!

  3. May you have amny great wanderings and tasty spots to find in 2015! Looking forward to more delcious stories and musings from you soon 🙂 Enjoy!
