New York representation

We stayed at the Harborfront as usual. Great meals at Noah's, First & South, and The Halyard. A little wine tasting to pass the daytime :)
All great places. I haven’t been out East in a few months. I’m overdue for a long weekend.
 
So this social distancing thing is getting boring but I’ve been diligent about it. I’m working from home and only going out for food and to walk the dog. Today we walked on the beach. I know a quiet spot that I have to myself. I hope everyone is safe and healthy.
 
New York, the quietest place in the world now it seems.. Hope all are well. Expecting to be working from home for another two weeks but we will see.
 
Hey everyone. This thread has been quiet for a while. Glad to see you're all ok in these crazy times. Usually around this time I would be planning my first seasonal trip to open up the beach house. Sadly, this year it's going to have to wait.

Stay safe, y'all.
 
Happy Easter and Passover to all! It is supposed to be 60 today. I hope everyone gets outside for a walk. It seems like the curve is flattening in both NYC and Long Island so hopefully there is some light at the end of the tunnel.
 
Happy Easter to you too! Much quieter this year than normal, that's for sure! Enjoy the day.

Hope your Easter was good as well.

and yes, very quiet. It is definitely different times. Hopefully times will return to somewhat normality in the near future.
 
So yesterday, I planted my herbs in the container garden. Tonight, I need to bring them inside because it's going to freeze. WTF, Mother Nature. I give up. Honestly... hope you all are remaining safe (and warm). Time to light the fireplace tonight!
 
Are there really so few lit members from New York? We live in one of the most heavily populated states in the country and yet the NY threads are a barren wasteland. Come out of the shadows and announce yourselves New Yorkers.
Syracuse area here.
 
Brrrr!

I know, right?!

Last Sunday it went into the 70's and the 4 of us got sunburnt hanging out near the Hudson River and totally didn't account for the sun reflecting off the water.

Now this weekend, I'm contemplating either bringing in the pots and containers of tomatoes and salad greens I planted last weekend. Either that or tarping them with plastic. Hard to believe they're talking of night time temps in the 30's this weekend.

Stay healthy, stay safe and enjoy the weekend! And enjoy that fireplace too, so jealous in the best way possible. Love an indoor fireplace or outdoor firepit, wish I could manage an outdoor one, but can't manage that on a small balcony. :)

I used to live along the Hudson River - lovely in the summer - but yeah, sunburn sneaks up on you! I live in a townhome, so the fireplace is electric and I can't have a firepit either. That's at the beach house, where I can do whatever I want! Stay warm.

I know, crazy weather to go along with everything else! They are saying north and west of the city could see snow... in May!!! Then 62 on the Island Sunday. Crazy.

Stay warm, and most important stay safe all.
 
Happy Mother’s Day to the New York Mom’s. We are supposed to have a warm sunny day so I hope you all get to enjoy the day!
 
Happy Mother's Day New York. Born in queens, lived on the long island the last 30+ years. It's a brisk day in my backyard, got some sun. Not last week where I started my rock lobster irish tan. Saw my son for the first time since Qtime started. 24 hours are long days during quarantine. Always interested in chatting with a little fun in it. Male 60.
 
Opened up the beach house (north fork) last weekend, cleaned it up, got it ready for summer. I can start going out there now. But I think I'll wait a couple more weeks until things start opening up a little and they get the beach situation straightened out. It was packed this weekend, with out-of-towners, and they left quite a mess behind. Parking and entrance requirements weren't enforced, and there were people from ALL OVER.

Good to hear, glad you are back on Long Island part time. The Long Island beaches have been very inconsistent. Some towns have done a very good job about enforcing residency rules and occupancy limits. And other beaches have been a free for all as you said. For your sake I hope your beach gets better.

Thanks! It felt good to be back, even though it was a "working weekend". The problem with the beaches is that the town offices haven't been open to prepare for summer with beach passes, hiring attendants, etc. So they are unable to enforce anything. It'll get sorted out soon. :) and when it does, the house is ready!
