I’ve had the good fortune this week to meet several wonderful women in the city. On Monday, my friend and fellow Artsy Girl, Victoria Cummings (aka the Horse Philosopher Chick), set up a lunch date with two of her best NYCity pals–an author/illustrator and her partner, a professor of publishing. Needless to say, sparks flew and the conversation lasted for hours over our vegan lunch at Candle Cafe West.

Jeanne, the author/illustrator and I made a date to go for a walk in Central Park later this month. She suggested a starting location midway between us.

“We could meet at the Imagine marker at 72nd Street.”

That’s the beautiful mosaic memorial tribute to John Lennon right near the entrance to Strawberry Fields.

I’m feeling more like a New Yorker every day.
