As someone who has recreated the pipe bed, I am obligated to warn off anyone who has light-sleeping roommates or small children - this bed is INSANELY CREAKY. And no, it doesn't need WD-40. It needs to not be a metal pipe bed.

In Brooklyn I usually head for the waterfront. There's green stuff around, dogs, kids, but really, it's the water that attracts me.
When it's cold though, I hole up and do crafts, have friends over, or head to a cool exhibition that I can only see because I live in NYC.

I am so persnickety and stubborn about it but have recently had my own insight to this weekend meditation that has allowed to me to be able to take a breath and step out of the situation most of the time.
