We had been in Times Square a few nights earlier and I got hustled. A sidewalk ticket vendor captured us into a conversation and before I knew it, he was selling me 2 tickets to a comedy club. We were standing in line. It seems for everything you do in New York City, you... Continue Reading →
The crowd was New York young, and New York dressed. The guys were in casual cool and the girls were in catch your eye appeal. They were drinking and they were loud. Some were swaying to the music.

My impression of the Lower East Side comes from old movies I have seen. I picture Lou Gehrig, in the movie of his life, playing stick ball in the streets with his neighborhood gang or the Little Rascals building a clubhouse where they can meet and discuss whatever they were up to next.

Today we experienced Rachel Ray. This was our third time to participate in a TV audience, and this one started off just like the others. If you ever want to visit one of these, here is the drill: You order tickets, and in a few days you learn if you have been accepted. The... Continue Reading →

There are several studios throughout Hell’s Kitchen and a few of them are nearby our apartment. The Daily Show with Trevor Noah is about a half block from us. There is a new show on Comedy Central debuting next week called “The President Show”. We stumbled across this theater while we were walking around and... Continue Reading →
No story today, but thought I would share photos from our day in the park. The Mall Strawberry Fields Sheeps Meadow Bicyclers Looking Up Visitors CenterThe Gardens
We are easily amused. When we run out of our weekly allowance, or when our feet are too tired from our long walks, we sit and look out the windows. It is a small apartment so two windows are all we have room for. One looks to the west, across the Hudson River and in... Continue Reading →
