Thanks to Road Scholar for providing this lifelong learning adventure through the five boroughs of New York City! As always, all opinions are our own.
With my adult children scattered across half of the globe I am always investigating new ways to see them. One great way is to travel together.
That is why I jumped at the chance to join my daughter Cati in exploring New York City with Road Scholar’s Five Days, Five Boroughs adventure.
On top of some great “mommy time,” over the next few days we will dig in depth into the history, culture, architecture, art, and oh yes, the food of the city that never sleeps.
We will be busy having a Big Apple of a time so check back often because we will certainly be updating as much as possible right here and across our social media channels, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
Striver’s Row in #Harlem is both a National & #NYC District due to both influential residents of the Harlem Renaissance and the #architecture. As a photographer, I’m obsessed with #WroughtIron!

B.M.W. bridges – in order #Brooklyn, #Manhattan, #Williamsburg. Our excursion leader teaches us this handy shorthand that helps #NYC dwellers keep their #bridges straight while we ride the #EastRiverFerry!

So does the #Brooklyn Promenade rock or what? No matter which way we look, there’s a fabulous view!

Today we explore “Brownstone #Brooklyn” with architectural #historian, Angela, who starts us off by explaining that #brownstone refers to the stone itself AND architectural style.

A note on how we are navigating #NYC: Our intrepid Group Leader, Kevin, has been gently guiding us through the ins & outs of the #subway system. No stress with Kevin in our ear (via our QuietVox)!
