Love letter to the Lower East Side

The Lower East Side is where I got my first tattoo one brisk Friday night in November (at Fineline, say hi to Angelo), it’s the place I can find Italian food that’s just as good as places in Italy (ciao Supper NYC and Lil Frankie’s), and it’s where I’ve had some really fun nights with my friends dancing until the morning without even realizing it (Welcome to the Johnson’s, other places).

God I miss New York.

I barely took out my camera all weekend until this moment…just a few snapshots from a sunny afternoon in August, before I caught my flight. These few blocks contain so many strong, beautiful memories for me! Here are just a few places I hold in my heart…

I’ve also written a guide to New York City, and all about my first impression of it, with some more beautiful photos.
