9/365 Welcome to Elmhurst! It's the closest neighborhood to Astoria to get myself some congee on this frigid winter evening.

8/365 This #NYG game isn't going to end well, putting an end to their 2016 campaign. Wore this Victor Cruz jersey, likely for the last time as he's probably not gonna be on the roster next season. Thanks for the memories, Cruuuuuuuz.

7/365 My bib for today's #JoeK10K. This race is usually my first race of the year and this was a special one - my first since getting my pace down to an F corral and a 10K PR.

Finished the @nyrr #JoeK10K in 51:15 which is a new 10K PR! Sure, it's only by 21 seconds but still! A PR!

6/365 Walking on my way home (and looking for something to snap a pic of), I noticed for the first time just how many buildings on my block have fake flowers in the winter.

Dinner at Zahav | @zahavrestaurant in Philadelphia last week - counter-clockwise from top left: Salatim; Hummus; Chicken Pastilla; Kibbe Naya; Malabi Custard; Lamb and Beef Kofte.

5/365 The new New York Road Runners | @nyrr Run Center is amazing. I'll always have a soft spot for the townhouse on W 77 St but they'd definitely outgrown that space long ago. (I definitely won't miss the face plant-inducing first step in the stairwell of the old location!)

4/365 Received this neat calendar in the mail at work today. I gots to keep repping those Cardinals.

3/365 The front reception hall of the Farley Post Office. I'm not certain but I believe this will stay intact even with the Moynihan Station being built in this building.

The new Second Avenue Subway stations have some pretty neat art installations.

Excelsior! A message Stan Lee would appreciate.

The soy ramen at Meijin | @meijinramenofficial on the UES. They use a beef bone broth instead of the more popular pork variety. It's definitely beefy (amped up by the thin slices of beef) and a solid bowl but lacking the richness you get from pork bones.

2/365 The Second Avenue Subway is real and it's spectacular. Also? A Vignelli map to commemorate the grand opening is a really nice touch.

1/365 One sad last vestige of NYE 2016 revelry in Astoria.

This is my idea of souvenirs from a trip.
