At times it seems we are on a hunt for the secret idol. Wandering the city, not seeking anything in particular, but hopeful that we will discover a hidden idol. Saturday, we went to see The Alice In Wonderland Follies, choreographed by Keith Michaels, who we have had the pleasure to meet on a couple... Continue Reading →
Gold Standard of Open Mics
Wow! The entertainment talent of New York City continues to amaze us, and tonight was especially fun. Antsy to go somewhere, we decided to try Birdland, a jazz club in Midtown. Birdland has been around since 1949 and most of the historical jazz greats have played there. Monday nights offer Jim Caruso’s Cast Party, open... Continue Reading →
A Crown Jewel
We love Central Park. It’s one our favorite places to go to just enjoy the day. Doesn’t matter what the weather is. In the winter under a blanket of snow, we lay down in the Sheep Meadow and make snow angels. In the spring, we walk through the Ramble catching the flora come to a... Continue Reading →

The Celtic Option
Spring has been trying to nudge out winter, but old Winter has been putting up a fight. Saturday it broke even with bright sunshine and cold wind. Not all we were hoping for, but too nice to miss. We donned our jackets and later wished we had brought scarves and gloves. We found two options... Continue Reading →
A Walk in the Fog
It was so foggy. How foggy was it? It was so foggy the ducks were bumping into the piers. You couldn’t see the tugboats and barges just beyond the end of the piers, much less the coast of New Jersey across the Hudson. JAM wanted to take pictures in the fog, so we bundled... Continue Reading →
Stardust
For those of you who are planning to visit New York City, we have found a touristy thing we think you will enjoy. Near Times Square sits a diner that looks like a movie set from Happy Days. It’s the Stardust Diner. There are two ways to spot it. One, it looks like something from... Continue Reading →
