My plane ride last night was uneventful, which is good. It was about 10:30pm local time when I arrived and I told Denise I wanted to check out a dollar taco truck, which was outside a club. When we got to the address we couldn’t find the truck and Denise suggested In-N-Out Burger, which I […]
I just needed to hear pig roast in order to be there. The Queens Dinner Club would be holding a pig roast at the Anable Basin Sailing Bar & Grill in Long Island City with proceeds going to Immigrant Families Together, an organization committed to the reunification of families separated at the US/Mexico border. Don […]
Peter Fonda had an idea. For the 50th anniversary of Easy Rider, a live band would play the music while the film was shown. Calls were made and John Kay and Roger McGuinn – two musicians who contributed to the original soundtrack – were in. For New York City, Radio City Music Hall was booked. […]
Saturday of the week before last, Peter and I went to see Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice. I confess – I was never a fan of her voice. Of her, yes, very much. She chooses brilliant songwriters and songs to cover. And technically, she is as close as you can be to a […]
I missed the last Queens Dinner Club dinner but was able to make this one and I was looking forward to an Argentinian meal. El Gauchito is a 40yo butcher shop in the Argentinian section of Corona, Queens. After a while the owner added some tables and chairs and later his son broke through to […]

I have seen the Rolling Stones live three times – twice at Madison Square Garden and once at Brendan Byrne Arena. For their current No Filter tour, the band is playing MetLife Stadium for their NY area concert, so I had to decide if I wanted to see them in a stadium after having already […]
During the June staff meeting, our office found out that we would be closed the day before and day after Independence Day, giving us five days off. At first, I was not going to do anything and then I thought about treating myself to a stay in a Manhattan hotel and then I thought about […]
In April, Leonard Cohen: A Crack in Everything, opened at the The Jewish Museum. My plan was to see it during a summer Friday before it closed in September. I finally had my chance last Friday. This is the exhibition that rtb saw in Montreal last year, so I was excited to see it. It […]
I wanted to see INK because it starred Jonny Lee Miller. rtb wanted to see it because it starred Bertie Carvel. And we managed to bring peg along with us. Mrs. Devereaux unfortunately was ill and could not make it. We had tickets for the center of the last row of the balcony. The 2-hour […]
