Last week I went to two live tapings, Tamron Hall and The View. On Tuesday went to see Tamron Hall, and I must say I liked how it was organized. I didn’t have to stand in line that long before we got in and were able to put our coats and backpacks into a locker…

Review of Broadway’s The Book of Mormon
Here is my review of one of the most popular Broadway shows: “The Book of Mormon,” which I saw a couple of weeks ago. Written by the creators of “South Park” and the composer of “Avenue Q,” this musical is irreverent, hilarious, and completely over-the-top. I am not a fan of “South Park” as I…
The Treasure of the Tenement Museum NYC
The Tenement Museum in New York City is a unique historical museum dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of the immigrants who lived in the Lower East Side of Manhattan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The museum is located in two tenement buildings at 97 and 103 Orchard Street, constructed in…
The Wonderful Whitney Museum
The Whitney Museum was high on our list to visit, as we missed it the last time we were here in New York City. We went this past weekend because Edward Hopper’s New York exhibition and the At the Dawn of a New Age: Early Twentieth-Century American Modernism were leaving within the following week. New…
What is worse? Dog Poo in Paris or New York
Let me say that any discussion about dog poo in this post is not a criticism of the poor animal but rather the owners. I would also like to add that I love Paris, where I lived for six years, and New York, where I have been several times and will now stay in Manhattan…

The Guggenheim Museum and Nick Caves
MembershipsMembershipsSaturday, we visited the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Some people may tell you that it is the building and not the artwork that is the most impressive. It is true that the building itself is quite a design feat. The most distinctive feature of the museum is its unique architectural design, which features a cylindrical…
First Day of Rain NYC
Today is the first day I think it has rained in New York City since we arrived two weeks ago. But I am sure it won’t be our last as rain is predicted intermittently for the upcoming week. While I wasn’t feeling up to getting out, I had stayed home yesterday, so I felt a…
Talk Show Live From New York
I went to my first live studio talk show yesterday – Late Night with Stephen Colbert. Well, I have been to a live show studio once before when I was about 13. More on that another time. This was more of a performance and a lengthy one at that. But, oh my, the time waiting…
Magnificent Visit to the United Nations
Yesterday the weather was absolutely fabulous after a very bitter cold couple of days upon arriving. Today was a little bit chillier, so I decided it would be perfect for me to walk the few blocks over the United Nations and take the tour. The tour lasts about 45 minutes, and they run most of…
