west village love

Today I went for a long walk around the West Village and a few of my favorite streets in Chelsea.

it took a moment for my eyes to adjust to these church doors...which open onto another set of doors.

I love love love this robin's egg blue door.  I so hope I have a door this color someday, it would be so happy to come home to.

sets of symmetrical doors...these make me think about the nature of new york city, and how we're all living our lives on either side of shared walls.

...and maybe even riding matching bicycles.

lovely-perfect-wonderful day ♥

Yesterday was such a good day!  I don't have classes on Fridays, so I like getting lots of work done so I can have at least a bit of free time on the weekend.  I usually head over to 'Snice (on West 4th and 8th) in the morning.  Usually this guy is sun-lounging on the outside stand of a flower shop on the way over, like he was yesterday.  Which just completely makes my morning.


He's always up for some petting and paw-kneading.


When I get to 'Snice, my favorite table is the one in the front window.  It was taken when I first got there yesterday, but I strategically positioned myself to be able to see when it became available and then nabbed it.  (Yes, it is kind of an involved process.  What can I say, I really like that table.  It's sunny and if the door is propped open there's a nice breeze.)


my favorite 'Snice breakfast, oatmeal with dried fruit and mint tea


I read a good amount of the first two acts of A Midsummer Night's Dream for my (awesome) Shakespeare class, but I was getting warm and sleepy, so I went over to the High Line to finish reading and do the response questions.  It was such a good day for seat-getting, I was able to snag one of the wooden lounge chair things, which are usually full (and which were swarmed a few minutes after I got there-- yay for unplanned good timing!)



I was in the water-feature area, which is lovely because it softens the noise of the city, and little kids get all excited and run around in it.  The chair-ish thing that I was on was surrounded by greenery on three sides and it felt like a private little reading nook.


hope you had a wonderful Friday too!
