There's an abundance of parks in New York City, and one of my hopes is to become a professional picnic-er. My picnic know-how is limited to a few adventures in Central Park, but there's nothing I don't love about the experience.I love being outside, I love quilts and baskets, and I love eating cheese and bread and fruit and sipping wine.
Most of all, though, I love any excuse to wear gingham, and there is no better place to wear colorful checked prints than in a park.
