There is simply no place like New York City. The noise of horns, the people on the streets and the outside vendors–all come together like a wonderful work of art. It can become a bit overwhelming at times, but you definitely get used to it after a while. After the initial phase of jaw dropping […]
I love living in New York City, I would never choose to live anywhere else unless I had to. (I’m originally from the south but moved up here with family years ago) I have great friends, great family and a great atmosphere that helps me keep going; those things make me enjoy my life. I […]
I have only been to 4 official theatres in my life, two of them were community theatre’s which were obligations to friends and quite frankly I expected the level of comfort and ambiance I received. The third was the old Majestic Theatre (aka the LaSalle Theatre, aka the Bank of America Theatre), a big step […]
This may seem like a million (or thousand) years ago, but remember when the millennium loomed large on the horizon? There was a huge question as to whether the world would actually function the next day. There was the distinct possibility of real chaos breaking out at the stroke of midnight.

The rooftop garden at the Metropolitan Museum of Art seems to be summer’s well kept secret to out-of-town visitors. Formally known as the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden, this special retreat overlooking Central Park was funded by them as a gift and is open during the summer months. A garden, terrace and restaurant, […]
Christmas celebrations started early for me one year when I was living on the Upper East Side in New York City. It began on The Feast of Saint Lucy, a holiday celebrated by people of Scandinavian ancestry on December 13. One of my friends had a Swedish co-worker who had just immigrated to the USA. […]
Anyone who loves France, French cooking and the atmosphere of a French Bistro should head to the corner of Second Avenue and Fifty-Seventh Street.
