What an awesome weekend I had…I had some friends in town so I took them down by the river side…The East River that is.

We headed over to Williamsburg to check out the new hip, talk of the town neighborhood.

While there we feasted on many local delicacies, from natural Kelvin slushies, DuMont Burgers and slow cooked beef brisket sandwiches. We indulged until our bellies were busting at the seams.

Also going on down by the river this weekend was the 1st Annual Hot Sauce Expo.

With all the new shops, restaurants and building in Williamsburg one would barely recognize it from the past.

Helping Victims of Sandy

Hello My Friends-

Below you will find a link to a Hurricane Sandy campaign that I am working on. Please check it out and help if you can.

These people really need your help. With your donations we will purchase blankets, warm clothes and pampers.

To make matters worse, we have another storm headed our way.

Thank you in advance for your help.

God Bless

Nikki

The Wrath of Sandy…See What Eye See…

It is mind-blowing what I have been seeing over these last several days. I have been driving when I can and walking around the city to see what I can see. It is heartbreaking to see people without shelter and basic necessities. The destruction Sandy caused is something I will NEVER forget. It has turned New York, New Jersey and Connecticut into places you would not even recognize. Washed away homes, flooded streets, and trees have been blown from their foundations. Just total devastation. Sandy brought us to our knees. Many people are still without power and running water. The temperature here has dropped to below 40 degrees at night and thousands are without heat.  But I will say it could have been so…so much worse. God had mercy on us.

Here comes Hurricane Sandy…

I had to pull out the camera and take a drive around town to get some shots of the approaching Sandy.
She was a fierce storm. Sandy caused major damage all over New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. To see her hovering over my city and feeling her strong powerful winds was something I will never forget. I took shots of the storm approaching from the East River and The Hudson River. The schools are closed, no trains, no buses. Many people are without power for what may turn out to be a week or more.
