sous vide steak
we bought a heat gun, to brown our sous vide steak. And we brought it to 110 degrees rather than the recommended 135 and it was perfect. Many years ago when I was looking for the trick to make a great steak I stumbled onto America’s Test Kitchen. They swore you should set your raw […]
BROOKLYN FARE and a WALK
After dance yesterday I knew I needed to stay out as the day was gorgeous but I had no errands to run and no desire to fulfill. That leaves bakeries as I am not one to sit in the park for any length of time just soaking it all up. Sweet Corner is the new […]
Vanessa’s Dumpling
I didn’t know when I walked in that you need to order at the counter at this dumpling palace on 14th Street between 2nd and 3rd, so I sat for a few watching people slurp their containers of soup. Once I caught on and saw the menu I hoped it was good because I want […]
Waverly Gallery
On Broadway. This show didn’t work for me. An unhappy play about an aging grandmother lost slowly and painfully to Alzheimer’s. At the Golden theatre we were seats A101/103 in the front mezzo and my view was a bit blocked. I would say that the aisle and the extra room compensated for that and I […]
Works & Process Rotunda Project Dorrance Dance
Works & Process Rotunda Project Dorrance Dance- a once in a lifetime experience. Performed originally last night for the guests of the Gala I lucked into an invitation to experience it with 550 NYC schoolchildren. Kids from art schools and art programs and they have no idea just how special an experience it was. Tap […]
EVE’S SONG and a walk to Bond Street
At the Public Theatre. Really emotional tale of a black family tearing apart with a backdrop focused on the deaths of black women. Or is it the other way around. The Public describes it this way. From The Public’s Emerging Writers Group alum and 2017-18 Tow Playwright-in-Residence Patricia Ione Lloyd (Pretty Hunger) and Obie Award-winning director Jo Bonney (Mlima’s […]
Tableside Italian Cook Shoppe
Truffled Moneybags. I need say no more. But I will. They were magnificent as good as the cheesecake. Seriously, as good as the cheesecake. Brad didn’t like the crust, I loved the entire thing. The Ceasar Salad was weak. They, as so many places do, need to try Marie’s- it’s the best A homey room […]
Cello players celebrate Jerome Robbins
Again a treat at the Library of the Performing Arts. After a tour upstairs we joined 175 other music/dance lovers for a special concert and film- the music, Sujin Lee, Julian Schwarz, and Julian Langford, three brilliant cellists of The New York Classical players, perform Bach’s first, fifth, and sixth suites, before a screening of […]
Works & Process. Caleb Teicher and Conrad Tao
I can’t say I like or understand the music of young Conrad Tao but I totally enjoyed seeing the chemistry between these two young men. Caleb, a tap dancer with a Lindy Hop background treated us to a sand covered stage where he and his dancers twirled and shuffled in fun fashion and a bright […]
