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…

So I was invited by producer Nathaniel Hill to see his production of Cleopatra which was shown at the Chelsea Music Hall which is located at 407 West 15th Street and which shares the same entrance as Moscot. So having never been to the Chelsea Music Hall, I was looking forward to the fun!  And…

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…

That’s right. The other evening I attend an event called Bonnet Bash 2017: Beauties and Beasts. So what’s a gal to do for a costume. Hmmm… I decided to be The Beauty of Peace. I’m so whatever, whatever, whatever about what happened in Syria this past week and in the general political state of the…

The other evening at The Amateur Comedy Club located at 150 E. 36th Street I saw a hilarious production of How the Other Half Lives which was written by Alan Ayckbourn and which originally premiered in London.  The play is an extremely clever, funny and well-crafted play which juggled time and space as it presented the…
