Another spot, favourite among sakura lovers; on the Bridle Path that runs alongside Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir in Central Park, around West 90th Street.

Nature’s artwork @ Sakura Park
Blossoms under the tireless supervision of the massive bell tower of the Riverside Church.
”Conceived in 1896 as an addition to Riverside Park, this two-acre park was sited on land donated by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. overlooking the Hudson River. In 1912 over 2500 cherry trees were planted as a gift from Japan, a gesture of friendship which also included the donation of 20,000 trees to Washington, D.C.”

Title: Seeking Puppy Play Dates!
Hello,
My boyfriend, Alex, and I just adopted the cutest little chi puppy, Porsche, and are looking to arrange some play dates with other vaccinated puppies/dogs in the building to help her get socialized! Today was her first day of puppy kindergarten and she gets along with other dogs after she finishes her shy/bravado stage. (We were very proud of her.) Please email me at […..] or text/call my cell phone at […..] if you think your friendly pooch can be a good fit to help us out. 🙂
Thanks,
[signature: the proud dog parents]
PS: I love my neighbours!

Thou shalt not…!
When the ten commandments go street smart (or, at least, evolve in a dog-friendly sort of way):
Ingenious signs on the fence surrounding the ‘‘creepiest, most unsettling children’s sculpture garden in the city”.

Ladder 35
After the calming emptiness of Fordham campus, a tiny memorial to those we will never forget. On Amsterdam Ave, just past Lincoln Center.

Title: FREE CONDOMS!!! Be Responsible
I bought this huge variety pack of condoms about a year ago but unfortunately was not nearly as successful as I expected. I would like to give these away to someone who can get better use out of them. I’m moving out at the end of the weekend and am donating them to the local high school if nobody wants them. We have the best options that Trojan has to offer, Ultra Ribbed, Charged Intensified, Double Ecstasy, Ultra Thin and Bare Skin. Let me know if you want them and we can set up a confidential drop-off point so that nobody is aware of your sexual prowess. No hat, no party!

If interested, please leave a *discreet* comment and I’ll put in a good word for you with my incredible neighbour.
Thank you!
