Between work, moving, and being without the internet at home for a week, newelty has been silent. Apologies about that. But the good news is that some minor travel adventures lie ahead–in the very near future. Next week, I’m going to New York for a few days!
I’ve always loved New York at the Thanksgiving/Christmas time of year. It’s always so evocative of my own idea of the city–crisp scarf-and-sweater weather, with beautiful store displays in every window.
Ever since it came out, I meant to blog about my favorite new New York song to add to my previous list of reasons to love the city.

Sorry for the radio silence, neweltites. Both of us have been slammed with work, but, happily, my work has taken me to the Big Apple, where I took this photo in the warm summerish weather yesterday.
As already mentioned a couple dozen million times, we ♥ New York.
More soon, once the travel adventures are through!

As someone who can be a total sucker for preciousness (see also: my love letter to the Ace Hotel), I also adore it when other writers stick a pin in it: “There’s nothing that represents the ongoing degradation of the very soulful soul of New York than the invasion of cookie-cutter-branded theme eateries.

I have a deep and abiding love of cities. Some people long for wide open spaces. Not me. There’s nothing better for filling up the novelty-meter than time spent walking a city end to end. Which is why I love this announcement about freely available pianos sprinkled all over New York City, part of an [...]

Sometimes there’s a fail that’s so spectacular, it needs double the action, double the fun, which is why we’re giving you a fly-on-the-newelty-wall approach with the messiness that is the Sex and the City 2 trailer. Microwave yourself a 100-calorie popcorn pack, watch the insane trailer for Sex and the City: Because SJP’s Townhouses Don’t [...]

I had a fabulous long-weekend trip to New York. Recently, I overheard some Seattleites discussing how they hated New York–the crowds, the noise, the general dirtiness you feel in your hair and on your shoes at the end of the day. So here’s my passionate defense of the city as an awesome place for travelers to enjoy, and [...]

First off, that joke isn’t mine–it’s how they sign your checkout paperwork at the Ace Hotel: Thanks for sleeping with us xox –Ace Can you believe that no one has been savvy enough (or sassy enough) to use that before? Welcome to the first Gen X hotel. My love of novelty drove me to the Ace [...]

While it would be better to be out traveling, unless you’re Andy Jarosz, you might be at home, like me, dreaming about your next trip. I get my at-home travel fix with the one thing I don’t want to lug around in my carry-on: Books! Here are the four I’ll be reading this month. Pagan [...]

When you look at customer reviews for New York City hotels on TripAdvisor and other sites, lots of reviewers say something like: “This hotel is really close to the subway!” Guess what? In Manhattan, just about everything is close to the subway. But with a little fiddling around with Google Maps, you can figure out [...]

One of the most life-changing ideas that traveling taught me about was the beauty of a bike. I love the idea of bringing Dutch-bike-love back to U.S. cities, but New York seems the most daunting place of all to contemplate biking through. (Although I also thought NYC would be the last place for a Siena-style [...]
