\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was born in the suburbs of New York City and grew up there.\u00a0 We made occasional forays into the city for various functions while I was growing up. (Note: even though you may live in suburbs that are technically part of New York City like Queens, going \u201cinto the city\u201d means going to Manhattan.)<\/p>\n

Later we moved to the Boston area for a couple of years, then back to upstate New York. To New Yorkers, \u201cupstate\u201d is anything north of the city itself and immediate suburbs. Poughkeepsie is a small city on the shores of the Hudson River, a 50-60 minute drive (depending on traffic) to Manhattan, or a 90-minute train ride to Grand Central Station.<\/p>\n

After my first year of university, I went home to Poughkeepsie for the summer, but I needed to do some research to complete a paper for a History class, so I made that train ride several times to use the resources of the New York Public Library. And since I had to make the trip into the city, I took some time to explore the city a bit more.<\/p>\n

Over the years since, I\u2019ve made several business trips to New York City for meetings or conventions. I\u2019ve always tried to find a bit of time during those to revisit old favorite places and discover new ones.<\/p>\n

Over the next series of posts, I plan to talk about places that are important in the book, discuss my own experiences of them, and share pictures and ways you can visit them online right now.<\/p>\n
