I passed by this property for decades as a field service technician getting off of the Staten Island Ferry without ever noticing it. I am sure there are tourists from all over the world know what this building is and thousands of other landmarks and eateries in the New York City area as I pushed them out of my way to get to my next destination and notice NOTHING. I gradually became a Simple Living Minimalist about ten years ago and began enjoying living intentionally. I slowed life down and take the time to acknowledge and ENJOY EVERYTHING. Every flower, landmark, eatery and anything else that may cross my path. I could not pass by this place without reacquainting myself with her again.
