Classic New York City in Spring — sunny tulips blooming alongside a NYC yellow taxi

In between the storybook brownstones on the Upper East Side are small plots of tulips

Central Park just where the path curves and Central Park North (110th Street) meets Central Park West, bringing together the Upper West Side, Columbia University, and Harlem

The lovely Harlem Meer in Central Park, cradled by 5th Avenue and Central Park North

Standing at my bus stop, just a couple of blocks down from our place — Central Park and the Harlem Meer
