Think Coffee on 14th Street
This is on par with a Bentley. This coffee machine is likely 36″ long and 24″ tall. My photo graph does not do it justice, in the least. Additionally it is the most wonderful shade of lime green ever seen beyond a Bahamas beach. I tried to get a picture of the ‘brand’ but was …
The Statue of Liberty
There it is. Always so close and unexpected and impressive. This shot if from the cafe in the Jewish Holocaust Museum on lower West Side.
Come From Away
A musical. My personal taste can only tolerate about 2 musicals in a calendar year and I am already beyond my limit for 2017. However, I would make an exception to see this play “Come From Away’, again. It is the story of Gander, Newfoundland, on 11 September 2001 when the skies over the USA …
As Crazy As it Looks
The Great Comet of 1812. A new musical. This is the staging. Throughout the seating in the theatre are small tables with lamps secured in the center. It gives the illusion that we are seated at a cabaret show. During the show the actors are literally, all over the place. Up and down the sides …
The Bench
This bench was put out for the trash by a tenant in my complex [which means by someone in one of the 4 buildings [all attached and looking like one building from the front]. Close inspection of the bench found that it had no cracks or snags. I would love to put it in a …
Don’t Let the Pigeon
Drive The Bus. Yesterday while walking to the subway, I got stuck behind a father and his young son who looked to be about 4 years old. They were doing what a good parent does best with a 4 year old, let them set the pace. Surprisingly there is an abundance of snow piled along …
The Cars Have it Better
Today, in the aftermath of the snow storm in which 6-8 inches lay on the ground, I was navigating the walk home from the theatre. At one intersection, I took to the roadway. It suddenly occurred to me that the roadway, which is cleared by the City was in much better shape than the sidewalks …
Duped. Delighted. Distraught.
Dismay.. Determined. What, you ask, could possibly bring on such emotions? RED ROCK. Discovered it, not looking for it, on Amazon Prime Steaming. An Irish Cop Show, set in Dublin, figured I’d watch episode one; immediately hooked. Decided there can’t be more than 10 episodes to a season; done in no time, as each episode …
Diamonds
Went to the ‘diamond district’ for a specific watch repair. A most fascinating street area east of sixth avenue on 47th. As I walked along, had to brave all the hawkers and their pitch to me, “Are you selling something?” I noticed that the younger women or women in the company of men got: ‘ …
