The story of me in a nutshell….Italian-American, native New Yorker…
I’m looking to uncover moments in life that make me smile..and there are so many of them….
I’ve got the writing bug somewhere inside me and it’s biting me, telling me to get my words out there…so after much gentle guidance by my loved ones around me, I’m here to share with whoever would like to read about things I find interesting here in New York and surely beyond…
Now please sit back and enjoy the show…the tickets are free and I’ve just made some freshly-popped popcorn….
Ciao amici!
Lia

Thanks so much for nominating me! I will participate 🙂
I’ve got some questions though.
I’m not sure how to figure out who has less than 200 followers?
And I too don’t know 11 bloggers well yet..may I pick 5 too?
Do they have to know me?
Also what is the award about?
Thanks for answering my questions and thanks again for the nomination and shout out!

I dont think it is super strict… I think you can bend the rules! I picked bloggers that I read, like, and might appreciate the extra traffic (I don’t know the number of followers either!) The award is really to recognize people you like, give them something to post about, and raise awareness about other bloggers. (at least, that is my view of it!)

Well, your About page, and one of your visits have captured you a Canadian follower who is quite anxious to see what kind of things a NYC girl can tell him about the big wild world south of the 49th. I have spent a lot of time on your side of that border, after traveling for thirteen years with Royal American Shows, and living for short stints in northern Florida on a dairy farm, and Las Vegas in a bunch of casinos. These days I make Vancouver, BC my home, and since I’m now one of your latest followers, I will be back to see just what it is you find yourself getting up to. Until the, keep writing, and I’ll read you later. : )

Hi, Lia! I’m about to make my first trip to NYC in a few days. Guess you haven’t done a blog post on what to wear in NYC as a summer tourist?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Hi Sandi! I’m excited for your first trip to the Big Apple! I haven’t done a post about what to wear but based on the weather forecast, I’d bring layers … seems we could have some 70s and not too hot which is good! I must say that a good pair of walking shoes is a must! Those are a necessity… I see lots of people walking in flip flops but it’s tough in my opinion to walk around with them, touring and all! There’s alot of air conditioning in stores and in the subway cars so a sweater or pashmina shawl is always in my bag!
I’m not sure how long you will be here but I’m around during the week if you’d like to grab a coffee sometime… I’m not free on weekends unfortunately.
Enjoy and Bon Voyage and welcome to NYC!!!

Hi Sandi! Oh, it sounds like a great experience for your daughter and I’m glad you’re coming to support her! Hope you can see some sights! Your sneakers are perfect for walking ! Flats or heels for dinner: ) that’s how I roll: )
Anyway I’m sorry we can’t meet up since you’ll be here on the weekend …but if you have questions, please drop me an email: ) PS: perhaps bring a travel umbrella? I hate to be negative but I always carry one in case of summer storms!
Cheers and all the best,
