I met a couple for lunch at Eleni’s the other day just a few blocks from my apartment at 19th Street and 3rd Avenue. The food was fabulous!! And what did I order? I wasn’t all that hungry so I ordered an appetizer of Mediterranean Grilled Octopus, Onions, Capers, Fava Puree, Lemon and Herbs. It…
The other day I met a friend at Benjamin’s Prime, a New York City Steakhouse which is located at 38 E. 40th Street. And here is the best Pecan Pie Ever!!!!! The combination of pecans and gel and crust were out of this world. Coupled with the vanilla ice-cream just in the right proportionate amount.…
So on Monday I took the Long Island Railroad to my cousin’s stop which is Great Neck. Getting to Great Neck is about a 35 minute ride on the train and when I got there my cousin picked me up and she drove to Port Washington-the last stop on this line. Port Washington is a…
Lavo at 38 E.38th Street is an Italian restaurant that was also pre-lock down a Nightclub. Here is part of the 2 level restaurant as it appears now. But here is where we ate 🙂 And what did I order? It was pretty humid out (actually we left the restaurant when it was just starting…
So we had 5:30pm reservations at the end of our time on the Boardwalk in Asbury Park (see Travel tab) and we had reservations at a restaurant whose name 618. It was located at 618 Park Avenue in Freehold New Jersey. The restaurant also caters and is presently expanding it premises as this is being…
So I was very fortunate when this gal that I know that lives in the city who happens to own a car suggested that we drive to Asbury Park, New Jersey and walk on the boardwalk and go out for dinner. Well, needless to say I was ecstatic. Anything to get out of the city…
Another Friday evening in the city and time to meet a friend. So this time my friend wanted to eat Lebanese food and I said, “Sure, why not?” So I met her in the East Village at Balade which is located 208 First Avenue. It was a hot and humid evening so I decided to…
As I’ve mentioned in so many of my recent posts except for a walk or a visit to a park to meet a friend I’ve basically been meeting friends for dinner. It’s the only way that people feel safe enough meeting and it’s the only activity actively open to the public. The also good news…
So today I meet with a group of women that belong to an organization that loves learning about different ideas around the world. Before the lock down we would meet once a month to talk about different topics but because of the lock down we have been unable to meet and share ideas. So today…
With no other forms of entertainment in the city when the sun goes down eating out has been the go to way to meet friends and share a meal at a socially distanced restaurant. The other evening, I joined a friend at Bocca Cucina which is located at 39 E. 19th Street. Bocca Cucina basically…
It was Monday night in Manhattan and we’re still in lock down and my friend said, “Hey Sora, let’s try a different kind of restaurant and food.” “Well of course,” I said. 🙂 Dining out has become my way of meeting up with my friends now and I really value this shared restaurant experience and…

So as I posted in the Travel tab of my A New Yorker’s Point of View blog-I was beyond fortunate after a 4 month New York City lockdown to take a 2 night vacation to Lee, Massachusetts which is part of the Berkshires. I absolutely loved the Berkshires. We were in Stockbridge, Great Barrington and…
After being locked down for 4 months in Manhattan I must admit the going was getting tough. So one day I received an email from Trip Advisor and it highlighted an Inn in Lee Massachusetts which is in the Berkshires. I sent out the email to some gals that I had traveled with before and…
So continuing with the saga of this New York City lock down and with not much to do when meeting a friend except to enjoy outdoor dining and support local businesses, I met my friend up at The Mark Hotel which is located at 25 East 77th Street between Madison and Fifth. It was very…
