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…

I met a friend the other evening for some outdoor dining at Philippe Chow which is located at 33 East 60th Street between Park Avenue and Madison Avenue. My girlfriend had been raving about their Beijing style cuisine for a long time and tonight was the night 🙂 So here is the table that we…
I’m a big believer during this Covaid time that we in the community need to support local small businesses. Rents are off the chart and we all need help in different ways from time to time. So I was working in my apartment and decided that I needed something “different” than I’d usually have for…
I had to get out of the city. It had been almost 4 months in lock down and I needed a change of scenery to put it mildly. So a friend and I decided to take the Long Island Railroad to Long Beach, New York. Long Beach is a city in Nassau County, New York…
So with no indoor dining still in sight I met a friend uptown at Amaranth which is located just off Madison Avenue on 62nd Street between Madison and Fifth. Amaranth serves a menu of Mediterranean cuisine, a fusion of original Italian food and French food with a large portion of specialty items imported from Italy…

Wasn’t it Dorothy who said in The Wizard of Oz to Toto “There’s no place like home.” Well, quite frankly for the most part, at least prior to 11 weeks ago I would have totally agreed. However, being quarantined in a studio apartment in Manhattan as a single person who had an active social life…

The evening of February 14th, 2020, I was happy to spend Valentine’s Day evening at The Players Club with some friends for a celebratory St. Valentine’s Dinner. The iconic Players Club is located at 16 Gramercy Park South and was founded by Edwin Booth. In December 1888, The Players Club was opened by Edwin Booth…
Vaucluse is a stylish French Brasserie which lets you journey into French cuisine in a very impeccable and elegant environment. It’s located at 100 East 63rd Street off Park.
