My favorite Murray Hill breakfast-lunch-brunch cafe DELECTICA is now featuring eleven of my travel and food photos.

Located on the edge of Murray Hill at 564 3rd Avenue between 37th and 38th Street, Delectica is a small cafe with a devoted neighborhood and business clientele.

Open seven days a week, I love Delectica for their freshly prepared entrée salads with a sophisticated selection of baked salmon, Moroccan couscous, baked cauliflower, roasted vegetables and more.  The outside seating, sandwiches as the Oven Baked Salmon (avocado, tomato, arugula and spicy mayo) and their Isreali Breakfast (two eggs or omelette served with a chopped Isreali salad, avocado, an assortment of sliced cheeses, whipped cream cheese and bread, with butter and jam, and choice of a small coffee or freshly squeezed orange juice) keep customers coming back for more.

If my description and photos haven’t motivated you yet to go here is another reason.

With a copy of this post and the purchase of any sandwich or entree salad receive a complimentary soda, lemonade or ice tea with your purchase.*

*One offer per customer.  Offer expires May 31, 2010.  Printed post must be provided.

See you at Delectica!

Enjoy!

The flowers have started to fall off the magnolia trees in Tudor City Greens.

But before they started to fall…

I went back for a few more visits.

This is what I saw…beautiful!  I hope you agree.

Enjoy!

Some weeks I’m completely challenged about what to post and then a miracle occurs and I find inspiration.  Many people call this the creative process, I often call it a three letter word.

But it’s Spring!

And Spring is a great time to photograph, mainly because  your fingers don’t turn blue or fall off from holding a camera in frigid temperatures (I had some painful moments this past winter).

But with warmer weather it’s not only easier to have your camera out, there is so much to shoot.

For the past two weeks I have been following the blooming plant life in Tudor City and yes a few rainy days (because we had those too) in Bryant Park.

As you can see my camera and I are very happy Spring has finally sprung.

I’m sure you are too…

Enjoy!

I’ve been sharing my iPhone images with everyone.

I love the reactions…

“You took those photos with your iPhone?”.

“You edited those images in your iPhone?”.

“I think I need an iPhone!”

My response…

“Yes, yes, yes!”…

Enjoy!

I’m in constant communication with friends in France, we email weekly to keep up with everything going on in our lives.   It fills the gap between seeing each other twice a year.

My friends write in French and I respond in English.  On occasion there is an effort to switch but I love hearing in their own words what’s going.

However, in the past two weeks I have become slightly obsessed with sending them pictures from my iPhone with a short title (some in English, some in French) instead of emails.

These images sum up a moment, they know where I am, what I’m experiencing and can enjoy the moment with me.

It’s a visual break that transports them to New York.   I smile every time I hit send.

These iPhone images continue to surprise me.  Whether shooting or editing right in the phone I can’t get enough.

I hope these images offer everyone a small visual break… or maybe another reason to run to Apple and buy an iPhone.

Enjoy!
