I am starting a list of things to do and websites to visit to help with your trip to London. Or more likely for me when I return. I am on my way to Istanbul and Paris before I head back to the States for a couple of months. PORTRAIT BENCHES – Traveling outside the […]
To Kill a Mockingbird
I passed on tickets when it came to Broadway a few months back starring Jeff Daniels and I have passed on it during another visit or two, but this week a friend pushed so I got myself a cheap seat on the side and went to see Ed Harris star as Aticus Finch. Well, 30 […]
Favorite Ballet -Belles-Lettres & three others
After 4 nights at NYCB and one wonderful evening in London I find I finally really have a few favorites. This Belles-Lettres from JustinPeck was all things rolled into one bit of perfection. Beautiful music, fabulous choreography and wonderful costumes. I could have watched it for hours, it never let up, never a weak spot, […]
HOW MANY TIMES CAN A MAN TURN HIS HEAD?
I sure do hope my friend who wrote this doesn’t mind my sharing… HOW MANY TIMES CAN A MAN TURN HIS HEAD?

Met Breuer – 2 collections
On my way I saw this And I wondered who put that there and why. Then lunch and onto the met Breuer and I ask myself who thought this was art, and why? The first exhibit was one I was looking forward to. The write up seemed to indicate that they were pairing recent acquisitions […]
Goldman Gallery & Grolier Club

Washington Post John Roberts comes face to face with the mess he made
Finally back home in London and had the best lunch at Le Colombier, visited the V&A – and 2 sweets
After 2 1/2 weeks of house sitting, a 2 weeks in Portugal, and a long time back in the US, I made it back to London yesterday and spent the day packing and unpacking, washing and sorting because I am headed back to the US for a bit of Ballet in NY and some family […]
The Poutinerie
Lunch on the street at Brick Lane Sunday Market. And a name to know. Super delicious with super hot hot sauce. And a pulled pork on top!
St. Albans!!! The Pudding Stop & all the restaurants
So many things about the UK are different and so many words we assume we know that we don’t. Last week I learned that curry is the generic term to describe all Indian food, uh, no. It was while we were having dinner at the Taste of Raj in Southgate that I finally figured it […]
Kew Gardens at Christmas time & Petite Coree
I have meant to go to Kew a few times this past year when the weather has been right knowing it would be a big walk around and I was right. We lucked out that the night we got there the air was cold but not freezing, the weather was dry and there was no […]
