Sunday on the Park!

The first phase of the Highline Park in downtown Manhattan is getting ready to open.  The elevated park is an old railroad that cuts a path from the West Village through Chelsea.   It will feature organic landscape design, and lounge chairs for relaxing.  (the other elevated park on an old railroad is in Paris, the Promenade Planee)  The rules - leave the dog at home, no bikes, blades or skateboards, and don't feed the birds!  Enter on Ganesvoort, 14th St., or 23rd St. and enjoy! 

April showers bring May flowers...

Mayflowers bring pilgrims! But it's also time to picnic.  This chic canvas box with leather details holds enough for a picnic of four from the Swedish company Sagaform.  Yet another reason to love Sweden, besides Ikea.  Also included is a throw and a corkscrew.  Perfect!  Even better, log onto Cookie Magazine and you can get a 25% discount. Grab the frisbee and start planning the menu! Ants not included.
