Little Italy NYC
There was a time that Little Italy NYC covered more than just Mulberry Street. I took a walk after visiting one of our NYC parks. Little Italy is one of my favorite neighborhoods in New York City, and it holds a special place in my heart. It’s a place where the streets are lined with colorful buildings and charming cafes, and the air is filled with the scent of fresh pasta and warm bread. Every time I walk through Little Italy, I’m transported to a different time and place, a world of old-world charm and romance. One of the things…
Brooklyn Bridge Forbidden Locks Pictures
Brooklyn Bridge Forbidden Locks pictures I took during one of my NYC Moments walks across the Brooklyn Bridge. Have you ever walked over this bridge? The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the most popular bridges in the world. Walk over while drinking your favorite specialty coffee or tea.
Well, you may have heard that people have been attaching padlocks to the Brooklyn Bridge as a symbol of their love for years now. But did you know that these locks have actually been causing damage to the bridge?
That’s why the locks have been banned since 2016, and why they are now known as “forbidden locks.” The weight of the locks can cause the bridge’s cables to stretch, which can weaken the entire structure. And with over 10,000 locks at one point, you can imagine how much strain that would put on the bridge!
It’s a shame that something meant to be a symbol of love has caused harm to such an iconic structure. But the good news is that there are plenty of other ways to show your love and appreciation for the Brooklyn Bridge – like taking a romantic walk across it at sunset, or simply admiring its beautiful architecture from afar.

Gone were the days of meeting up with friends for a drink or grabbing a bite to eat at a favorite restaurant. Instead, we…
