On January 28th, the Queens Dinner Club had their event at Bajeko Sekuwa, a Nepali restaurant in Sunnyside, Queens. The name means grandpa’s bbq and the owner used to grill skewers at a stand on the road to the Kathmandu airport. He now owns 14 restaurants in Nepal and the one in Queens. Peter was […]
One of the things I was hoping to do during my Phoenix trip was to visit the Musical Instrument Museum, which I was not able to do. But in looking at the site, I saw that they have concerts and I bought tickets for An Intimate Evening with Betty LaVette Featuring Evan Mercer on Keyboards. […]
During my trip to Phoenix, my sister Denise had suggested that I check out Old Town Scottsdale and when I researched it I found the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art was there and both exhibits looked good to me. So I figured how to contact Lyft via my laptop and went to the museum. The […]
After a day in Sedona (visiting my sister who lives in Phoenix) we headed back to Phoenix and the Crescent Ballroom to see Lucero. The Crescent Ballroom has a restaurant/bar in the front and upstairs – Cocina 10. The venue is in what looks to be part financial district and part hipster central for Phoenix. […]
My boys were back in town playing at a new (for me) venue. The Warsaw in Greenpoint is a walk from the L but close to the G. On the way there I realized that I had forgotten the print out of my receipt or ticket. Usually I buy will call, so I figured my […]
As I mentioned, the first two weeks of October in NYC is crazy if you want to take advantage of the great things happening. I attended all five programs for Fall for Dance, six events for the New Yorker Festival the first weekend, and three sites for Open House New York on the second weekend. […]
Back to New York City Center and the second night of Fall for Dance. Our teacher for the pre-show dance lesson was Amy Young from the faculty (and former dancer) of the Paul Taylor Dance Company. She was very enthusiastic and very encouraging. We started with warm-ups and then she taught us moves that would […]
It’s fall! And that means Fall for Dance, the New Yorker Festival, and Open House New York. All the same October weekend. It does not look like I will make it to any OHNY locations this year but I will be seeing all five FFD programs and will be attending several NYFest events. The first […]
Cory Branan tweeted about a show in New Haven, so I knew he either just played NYC or was about to. Turned out he was going to play Opry City Stage, a Times Square theme restaurant. As a New Yorker, I avoid Times Square themed restaurants. Only Cory could make me go inside. The first […]
Thanks to a heads-up by meli, I was able to attend an all-day symposium at the National Museum of the American Indian in NYC that is related to their current exhibit, Taíno: Native Heritage and Identity in the Caribbean, which is running until October 2019 and I hope to visit the actual exhibit soon. The […]
