Not all Adventures are Wild

Byalecjrosen

While this blog and Youtube Channel mostly document my off-road, off-the-grid adventures and fishing, not all adventures are meant to be wild.

This last week the wife and I met up with our son in NY to celebrate his 29th birthday. He flew in from Toronto, and we ventured north from Miami.

Our adventures included walking through Central Park, shopping on Fifth Avenue and a boozy brunch in Soho off the grid.

Having been born and raised in New York, it’s always great to unwind in the city for a week, with no pressure to do anything touristy.
