    Hard at work! Me & @jotomato busy writing our next project. (Argo Tea, Union Square)

  • Lamp Cat

  • New Zealand Consulate

    We stopped by the New Zealand Consulate hoping to score some Flight of the Conchords mousepads but unfortunately they’re closed on Sundays. (Chinatown)

  • Happy New Year 2016

    Helena and I wish everyone a purrrrrfect 2016!

  • Xmas in the Tower

    Merry Christmas to everyone, especially those working while we enjoy the holiday. I rang in Xmas with the overnight crew at 57 St Station but didn’t have to stay long. But they kept going like they do every night to keep the city moving 24/7. Thank them next time you’re on the subway at 3am!…

  • Makeupforever

    SEASONS GREETINGS FROM NYC. (And congrats to the latest grads & models of the @makeupforeverofficial Academy.) (Crosby St Hotel, Soho)

  • Hands on

    One reason I love my day job is because I often get to climb things and get my hands dirty. Seriously, it’s awesome. (57 St Station, Manhattan)

  • Canal St

  • In Transit

    Excited to discuss MTA videos with Jose Martinez on #NY1InTransit! Catch the show on NY1 this F/Sa/Su at 8:45. (Spectrum News NY1, Manhattan)

  • Thanksgiving 2015

    It’s always embarrassing when the dog’s camera face is better than yours. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! (Cypress, TX)

  • Johnson Space Center

    Nerding out at NASA, Kubrick-style. The last time I saw a Saturn V in person was at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida when I was eight years old. Decades later, it still inspires awe. Speaking of Kubrick, this is the set they used to fake the Moon landing. Incredible realism decades before CGI. Patches…

  • Rushmore Academy

    I always try to visit a RUSHMORE location whenever I’m in Houston. If this photo were in the Rushmore Academy yearbook, the caption would be FOLDING BIKE CLUB: VICE PRESIDENT. (St. John’s School, Houston, TX)

  • Texans vs. Jets

    Celebrating Demi & John’s first wedding anniversary with football and nachos. It’s my first time at an NFL game. (NRG Stadium, Houston, TX)

  • Eat like a Houstonian

    Houston on 4,500 calories a day: me and sis about to dive into sopaipillas and flan after devouring crabcake quesadillas, chips, and queso. (El Tiempo Cantina, Houston, TX)

  • Astronomy Basics

    Thank you Prof. Kiefer for an awesome @aaadotorg Astronomy Basics class! You made learning about the universe so much fun.

  • We are all made of Stars

    Lately I’ve been thinking we’ll only have peace on the ground when we spend more time together gazing up at the stars. It’s easier to see all that unites humanity when you look far beyond it. (Columbia University Observatory, Manhattan)

  • Covering Crisis

    Full house for the @transpocamp Covering Crisis panel tonight. Thanks @nytransitmuseum for having me on the panel! #tcnyc15 (New York Transit Museum, Brooklyn)

  • Ask for the ‘John Cho’

    Before I went to my haircut in Chinatown, I asked @jotomato how to say “short on sides, longer on top” in Mandarin. She said “just show them a picture of John Cho.” Mission accomplished. (Chung Wah Beauty Salon, Chinatown)

  • Night at the Museum

    (American Museum of Natural History, Manhattan)

  • Skunk Misery

    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,I Instagrammed the one with the funnier name,And that has made all the difference. (Higganum, CT)

  • AIDA

    ALWAYS BE CLOSING, EVEN WHEN CRUISING. AIDA = Attention, Interest, Decision, Action.  #GlengarryGlenRossCruises (Pier 94, Manhattan)

  • Book Jacket Cat

    Helena’s author photo for the cover of her next book.

  • Urban Starfest

    A chilly but beautiful night for the 2015 @aaadotorg Urban Starfest in Central Park. (Sheep’s Meadow, Central Park, Manhattan)

  • Video Team

    The first rule of Video Team is you do not talk about Video Team. The second rule of Video Team is you do not talk about Video Team. The third rule of Video Team is please don’t touch my emoji pillow without asking first.

  • ‘Women can be heroes too’

    R.I.P. my favorite Chinese feminist t-shirt, which disintegrated after eight years of wear. Anyone heading to Beijing soon? I have a favor to ask…

  • Birthday 2015

    So humbled by all the birthday wishes, meals, & treats. By the power invested in me via this candle in my vegetarian nachos, I made a wish for all of us. Thank you for making me feel so special. (Peacefood Cafe, Manhattan)

  • Feiyue FTW

    Lacing up my fourth (or maybe fifth) pair of my favorite shoes. What’s not to like about comfy kicks that cost $20, ooze old-school Chinese charm, and come in a paper bag? #feiyue

  • Stylist Mei

    This is the wonderful Mei, who has been cutting my hair for the past year. She doesn’t speak enough English and I don’t speak enough Chinese for our communication to be much more than “same as last time.” But if that ever changes, the first thing I wanna tell her is that she always makes…

  • When there’s a Will

    This is my awesome colleague @wmmcc. People are always confusing him for me at our office. So I got him a pair of my glasses and will start sending him out to meetings as me when I’m too busy. Now I just need to find a clone of my cat and my grand plan will be…

  • Road Rash

    Wet pavement + slick tires + sharp turn + sudden braking = today’s road rash. I’m OK & fortunately my doc’s office happens to be on my ride to work. But I got scolded pretty hard for riding in the rain. Be safe out there, cyclists! (Riverside Park, Manhattan)

  • Ikea

    My job: using ZipCar membership to help family & friends transport stuff. My reward: Ikea Swedish-American Breakfast ($2.99). I am not complaining. (Ikea, Red Hook, Brooklyn)

  • Berning Down the House

    Hot plates for Bernie! (Fishs Eddy, Manhattan)

  • Apple Talk Protocols

    Thank you to everyone who came out to Apple Store Grand Central to hear @adamlisberg & me talk about @MTA videos. It was a lot of fun! (Apple Store Grand Central, Manhattan)

  • Photon

    How old is too old for a laser tag birthday party? The last time I went I got this card. It might be time for a new one.

  • Helping Tourists

    It was fun explaining subway operations to these tourists of Chinese origin. Apparently they don’t have trains like this in the village where they come from (Noe Valley region, California Provence). (34 St-Hudson Yards Station, Manhattan)

  • FFCD

    The Fantastic Four of Chinese Descent (Grand Central Terminal, Manhattan)

  • September 11

    I pass PS89 every day on my bike ride to work, but the only time I’ve ever been inside was the evening of 9/11. NYC OEM watch command was temporarily located inside its cafeteria after 7WTC fell and I was staffing it for MTA. I’ll never forget the strange and sad contrast of emergency workers…

  • Bike Repair Intensive

    The six-week Bike Repair Intensive at @bicyclehabitat is fantastic. I learned skills, met awesome people & got to wear cool blue gloves like a pro mechanic. Thanks Professor @fast_tyler for a great class! (Bicycle Habitat, Soho)

  • Improving the MTA Through Film

    NYC: join @adamlisberg & me at Apple Store Grand Central on 9/17 to learn how we make @MTA videos!

  • Keeping in touch

    Technology allows old high school buddies 3,000 miles apart to instantly fact check cherished memories. #blessed

  • The Stand

    Seriously nerding out to my new bike stand. It’s another step in turning my apartment into the cat enrichment & bicycle repair center I’ve always wanted to live in.

  • Relaxed Cat

    Is your day already too hectic? Don’t stress, Helena is busy taking it easy for ALL of us.

  • A Little Trouble

    Although I look different now, you can tell it’s me because I still have the same table manners. #tbt

  • Panera

    I’ve done so much writing here that I’m worried they’re going to start asking for back-end. (Panera Bread, Montclair, NJ)

  • Street Justice

    Never run that red light at the intersection of Street St. and Justice St.

  • Cymbeline

    Cymbeline in Central Park. Thanks LJF for the tix! (Delacorte Theater, Central Park, Manhattan)

  • Reunited at Ralph’s

    Reunited with my favorite hometown pizza! (Ralph’s Pizzeria, Nutley, NJ)

    Thank you @aingealis for this very squeezable version of my favorite emoji.
