Hi friends, if any of you are still out there. No, we aren't resuming the bee-bop blog, but I was feeling nostalgic today and came poking around, only to realize we had an unposted walk! The upper west side was my neighborhood for almost 4 years, so these are some of my favorite spots in NYC. I didn't write captions for everything, but all these pictures are on the west side between about 71st St. and 90th St. Enjoy!

| Too many peanut butters. Zabar's was the first grocery store I ever stepped into when I moved to NYC, and I had no idea what I was walking into. Imagine my distress when I could not find a jar of Skippy and had to choose a brand of peanut butter that was handmade by monks or something crazy. I did love Zabar's, but not for my everyday shopping. |

| Big Nick's, the best place to order milkshakes and waffle fries at midnight |
 |
| world's best cream puff at Beard Papa's - I could really go for one of these right about now |
 |
| oh, Gray's. I miss your recession special. If you are visiting NYC, please do not by a hot dog on the street. Go to 72nd Street and get two hot dogs and a pina colada drink. Do not share with a friend. You'll want to eat both. Also, stop in before 11am for the world's most perfect breakfast sandwich. I'm feeling hungry. |

| Levain Bakery on 74th - get the double chocolate peanut butter masterpiece and thank me later |

| I wish I still lived in a neighborhood with a sharpening truck - my sewing shears need a spruce |
 |
| Allan & Suzi on 80th and Amsterdam - my neighbor all my years in NYC. I loved looking at the eclectic window displays, but never had the courage to go inside (which is ridiculous, looking back on it). |
