I’m not a fan of New Year Resolutions. Though I love New Beginnings. For me, it’s a time of reflection, a time to take a long hard look at what/who is weighing me down, and what/who is lifting me up.  But most of all it is a time, though not the only time throughout the [Continue]

I entered the Lyceum Theater on a rainy afternoon after Christmas with my girlfriend to catch a showing of In The Next Room or the vibrator play, a play by Sarah Ruhl, to see what all the buzz was about. The theater was full of  a much, much older crowd. I had the pleasure of [Continue]

I LOVE New York City covered in snow, it’s gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. So, there I was getting stuff done, kids in bed, husband finishing up his online gift buying, [Continue]

Last night I met up with some friends for dinner and a concert.  Invited by my darling friend, Isabel from Alphamom, my husband and I made our way to Haru, a wonderful sushi restaurant with various locations in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. Over drinks and fabulous sushi, we talked about the group we were [Continue]

Ah, the opera. To many ‘a night at the opera’ has such a romantic, sophisticated sound to it. The images of tragic tales, or romantic dramas being sung on stage by the extraordinary capacity of opera singers, carried by the majestical accompaniment of a grand orchestra and their conductor; these are the things that really [Continue]

While out taking in the sights around Rockefeller Center with my brother and his girlfriend, who were both visiting, we decided to have dinner in the area.  We wanted Greek and started looking up places in the area that might be good. We decided on Anthos Restaurant located at 36 West 52nd St, between 5 [Continue]
