I’ve gotten a lot of messages asking about the winner of the Scotland contest and there were so many good entries that I’m STILL making my way through them. I promise to have news early in the week!! • Last night @dante.vincent & I had a rare type of date night where we did two things for the first time together. Like so many couples, we have our routines and our things we often do over and over but this time we opted to take the subway to Chinatown to walk over the Manhattan Bridge at sunset in order to capture photos at this specific spot. It’s a popular one to feature on @instagram so I’m by no means being original in sharing it, yet it is new for me. I’d never been in all these years! Afterward we walked to Eldridge and I introduced Danté to the wonders of $2 dumplings at Vanessa’s. I used to go all the time before he and I met. It was fun to find they are as tasty as ever! As for the Manhattan Bridge, it was the last of the three suspension bridges built across the lower East River, following the Brooklyn and the Williamsburg bridges. It first opened to traffic in 1909 and was completed in 1912. On the Manhattan side, there’s an elaborate stone entrance to the bridge that was created as part of the “City Beautiful” movement of 1915 and while it is gorgeous, apparently traffic engineers regularly want it removed. Go figure! 🗽🍎 #kaNYguide #sonya7rii #sonyalpha #newyorkcity #newyorkornowhere #manhattanbridge #slowshutter
