Seasonal Venue

Posted by Lisa | Posted on 21-04-2009

I walk by the Rockefeller Center skating rink on my way to and from my office every day. Yesterday I realized that something “felt” different, and I realized that the ice was gone. It’s that time of the year when skating ends and outdoor eating and cocktails resumes.

This change happens every year in April and October, so intellectually it’s no surprise. It is a surprise, though, since I wasn’t consciously thinking about it. Although the restaurant area is being built out now, it was nice to imagine the upcoming buzz of people gathering outside at lunch and after work.

A small change in the environment can give us a slight change in perspective. If you don’t have one, create one.
