What good is sitting alone in your room? Put down that knitting, your book and your broom, go hear the music play! Go taste the wine, go hear the band! It’s time for celebrating, hurry now, your table’s waiting! Cabaret is known around the world as a place to celebrate with friends and enjoy close-up,... Continue Reading →
Subways are probably the number one target of complaint for New Yorkers. Apparently we haven’t lived here long enough to develop the aversion, rather we continue to be fascinated by a system, that is able to move so many people and which is easily accessible from almost anywhere in Manhattan. Although there are frequent (warranted)... Continue Reading →
Okay, I’m guilty, even before we get started, but I am an artist, and sometimes we are shameful self-promoters. For those of you living outside The City, the first Thursday in each month is known as Gallery Crawl. Most galleries in the area open their doors, provide offerings of cheese and wine, and promote their... Continue Reading →

The disputed originator of New York City's iconic cookie known as the Black and White called it quits this week. The famed Black and White is a shortbread cookie heavily iced with dark chocolate on half... Continue Reading →
Her bright blue eyes beckoned to us as we entered. A smile made its way across her gentle face. It was clear she had something to share with us. Hugs all around, and the now familiar greeting, a kiss on each cheek. She says it is the French way. We met Louise one Sunday morning... Continue Reading →
Getting there was anything but simple. With the N train in Astoria closed for track repairs, reaching the Wellington Court Project was anything but easy. It started with a one mile walk to get to the N train which took us only another mile where we caught the Tram to Roosevelt island. On Roosevelt Island... Continue Reading →
It was like spotting Santa Clause or Big Foot or catching a jackalope. You hear all the stories, you see the evidence they have been here, but you never seem to have your camera out to prove they exist. Like a vampire, street artists come in the middle of the night, produce some of the... Continue Reading →
