Smoke hangs like haze over harvested fields,
The wild gander leads his flock through the cool night,
Ya-honk! he says, and sounds it down to me like an invitation:
The pert may suppose it meaningless, but I listen closer,
I find its purpose and place up there toward the November sky.
– Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass, 1855, I Celebrate Myself
Friends ~
As I return from an amazing trip to Italy and Switzerland, I find myself relaxed, marveling at the experiences I had abroad and the ones still awaiting me here at home in my incomparable city. I will share finds from my European travels soon.
This month, New & Interesting highlights downtown’s Italian newcomer, Ducca. The Featured Neighborhood is West Portal. Wandering Traveler takes us back to New York City, dining at The Spotted Pig.
I’d love your feedback on any spots you visited from my site. You can leave comments through the site on the Perfect Spot Blog or email me directly.
Let me guide you to the perfect spot!
