Photo by myself in Tompkins Square Park, in Alphabet City.
It seems like every tree is fully in bloom right now, a mass of yellow or pink. If you have any allergies at all, be sure to bring kleenex.
This week in the Times, there is an article about new apps (application for the iphone) made just for New Yorkers.
Parking spaces are scarce in certain neighborhoods. Park Slope, where Mark and I live, is drastically short on parking space. (As a result, a high percentage of Mini Cooper owners live here).
StreetParkNYC and Roadify allow New York drivers to communicate when they're leaving their precious parking spaces. Meters cost 50 cents per hour and garage parking costs anywhere up to twenty bucks an hour. I'm sure New York will be one of many cities for such applications. I'm sure this will be a default part of navigation devices in the future.

Thanks everyone!
Miss B, B+T's are NY slang for 'Bridge and Tunnel, meaning those living off the island of Manhattan who journey into the city just to have fun. I think the term refers more to New Jersey than to Brooklyn.
New Yorkers are a territorial bunch, lol!
