Hart Bageri (CPH)

The cardamom bun that haunts my dreams. I have also had decent luck recreating them. Buy frozen croissants, cut them up, toss with cardamom sugar, pile in a muffin tin, and bake!

Trains

Trains are the most efficient, pro-social, romantic modes of travel. Intercity rail, commuter rail, subways, light rail, trolleys; they’re all delightful ways to experience a place. From big cities to countrysides, you get a smooth ride, little to no congestion, good views, dedicated time to read or listen or zone out. And the people in the industry light up when they get to talk about it.

Fritillaria Meleagris

After moving back to Upper Manhattan, I knew I made the right choice when I saw these growing in Fort Tryon. Absolute favorite.

Buy a print of your NY apartment from the 1940s

I turned the photo of our apartment into Thank You cards for the many many people who wrote us recommendations for our co-op! I love every opportunity to use the cards!
