FAVORITE PLACES IN NYC (video)


John Cullum loves the Empire State Building.

Emily suggests it's his out-of-towner self. The guy from Knoxville Tennessee who read about it, heard about it before he came to NYC, stzres at this building, delights in it whenever they go walking.

Yes, he likes quite a few other buildings in New York City -- mostly famous buildings that tourists flock to see. But John Cullum, who has lived in Manhattan for more than fifty years and loves his own home in the city, nevertheless, remains a tourist.

OK - in no particular order: the Flatiron Building, Trinity Church (esp the way it peeks through the canyons of Wall Street), all the little synagogues (mostly decommissioned) in the lower east side and Chinatown, and, of all things, the Natural History Museum. Yes I know it's an ugly old pile, but I just love it, and it speaks to me of all the magic dioramas inside.

Yes....you two have such a great relationship. So very cute. You both inspire myself and hubby. I am having a bit of sleeplessness.....perhaps I should knit.
