It’s Memorial Day Weekend and I met a friend on Sunday at Lips which is located at 227 East 56th Street. It was torrential out so it was great that we had this planned and it was their second show so the audience was really excited to be there. Lips is a restaurant and they…

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…

I decided to just do a post on images that are making me smile during this Covid=19 lock down in New York City. I just wanted to share some very creative graphics which definitely put a smile on my face and led to many out-loud chuckles. Hope that they do the same for you as…

Today a friend and I took the 4 Train to Grand Central.  There we got the 7 to the last stop which was 34th Street-Hudson Yards Station.  We wanted to visit Manhattan’s newest all inclusive neighborhood Hudson Yards where the residences start at 4.5 million.  So Yikes!!!  They also have an all inclusive Mall which…

The other evening I was invited by a friend to go to the Birdland Jazz Club which is located at 315 W. 44th Street. So it’s ever since most of Chicago’s top musicians moved to New York in the mid-to-late 1920s that New York City has been the Jazz Mecca. Nearly every major jazz style…

Ms. Haworth was a self-described “Spanish peasant”, who began her dancing career by performing with her father in nightclubs as the…

This past Saturday I went to see Blank!  The Musical.   I had no idea what to expect except that I knew that my phone needed to be on at the beginning of the performance (90 minutes-no intermission) and that using the show’s app was part of the process. So I got to the Broadway…

So a while back myself and two friends decided to visit Philly for the day and made our focus a visit to The Liberty Bell and The Jewish Museum. We decided to visit The Liberty Bell first since we were meeting two other friends for lunch at 1:00 p.m. and so we thought that a…

  Many years ago I read a book called The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith. The novel was set in Botswana and had a really big impact on me because I found the characters to be so genuine and so authentic that I felt very connected to them and absolutely adored…
