Today we are crawling to PJ Clarke’s. Gazing inside the wide doorway, open to the sidewalk, it is clear this is not a typical Manhattan bar. Memories have been made here, an experience that is timeless. Only the dress of the guests sitting along the mirrored bar give hint to the year. Otherwise, this could... Continue Reading →
Fall is arriving and this week we were blessed with the beautiful days of Indian Summer. Antsy to leave the apartment one evening, we checked the windows to see the golden rays of sun beginning to cast long shadows. It took a few seconds before we decided to watch the sunset over the Hudson, along the... Continue Reading →
Situated at the corner of Broadway and Duane Street, near City Hall in lower Manhattan, the National Park Service operates a National monument honoring a place, a people, a time once forgotten but now revealed. This sacred ground honors those least respected in their time, the ones with no voice and no power. The African... Continue Reading →
Tourist season is winding down. The crowds are somewhat lessened, but there are still plenty of tourists to go around. NY1, our 24/7 TV news station, recently reported that 1 out of three jobs in Manhattan are tourists related. That caught my attention and piqued my interest. With a little research, I discovered some interesting... Continue Reading →

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 →
JAM came across something interesting to do. We went down to the East Village along Houston Street (they mispronounce it here). But first….. Across from Shimmels bakery is the 1st Green Street Art Park. This is a line of walls where some of the most politico-socio relevant street artwork in New York City is on... Continue Reading →
It seemed like a New York tradition, so we boarded a train to Coney Island to celebrate the 4th of July. We found Nathan's Original Hotdog stand where they were preparing for the annual Hotdog eating contest. We didn't actually see any of the contestants, so we ate some hotdogs ourselves, just to join in... Continue Reading →
