Dining al fresco
Streeteries have slowly been disappearing. I heard there’s a deadline for the removal this week some time. Mixed emotions my friends. Some of these were a highly creative addition to our city”s streetscape. Now we have large garbage bins decorating corners.

Shaping up
Buildings form three dimensional shapes in space. It’s the iconography of our cities and the geometry of our lives. Some stand out and have more promise and more prominently to the eye. At times, it’s because of the light in the sky or the juxtaposition of nearby structures. Sometimes, it’s just how we see ’em. In real time, this day, from our perspective.

Coffee shop shoppers don’t stay true to one brand, to a favorite cup of coffee. I bet I’m kidding myself when I’m just reviewing what’s available. Here I am, sitting at Ole and Steen, new, Scandinavian, cute. Did I mention “new “?” New is exciting.

The Andersons in Mt. Kisco
My mother loved Begin the Beguine. I knew it not only from her crooning but also from a Fred & Ginger movie. For some reason, until today’s email from Will and Peter, I didn’t connect it to Cole Porter. The knowledgeable and very talented Anderson Twins are “doing” Cole Porter at Jazz on Main this Saturday, the 23rd, at 7pm. Visit PeterAndWillAnderson.com for more about this dynamic pair. Go…

A few
What podcasts are you listening to? For politics and insights, I would go with Pod Save America. For wisdom (duh), Julia Louis Dreyfus is spreading respect for elderly ladies in Wiser than Me. This is an aside, but honestly, grammar grandma, Wiser than I. Notwithstanding and also nonetheless, this is a wonderful series of conversations between Seinfeld’s best girl and some terrific older…
