A visit to Hampstead Heath is on the agenda and a google search brought me to this blog. With its many entries on Hampstead a good reading left me knowing this is a place to return to. SO as we head out for the day my expectations are high though my need to cover lots […]
Olafur Eliasson and Natalia Goncharova at The Tate Modern and a wander along the Thames and into Soho
What fun. Not only the Eliasson exhibit but the entire museum. This one is probably worth a membership. The collection is vast and there are 2 members rooms as far as I could tell. When you go to London Museums, admission to the building is free but many of the special exhibits charge. A membership […]
Bistro Vendome

Chow House 181 Bleecker St
Dumplings – ok noodles had a nice flavor Broccoli was incredibly spicy location and cleanliness both good would try again if I were in the neighborhood, craving dumplings and had the 35 minutes. Stopped in on the way to the Rattle Theatre. It was fine, nothing else to say.
Monsoon Season

Dashed into The Frick
I just love this house and the museum is so manageable if you want a half an hour of lovely, come in and look around. Today there are two different exhibitions I popped into one, Eduard de Wall was not so interesting on first view. But the Frick does a fabulous job by providing a […]
LE GRAINNE CAFE
On 9th Ave at about 20th Street. We got a croque madame and home fries. It was not very good at all. The room was charming.
