As I try to recreate all that we have done for the past week days seem to blur together… and I often feel like I am repeating myself… It’s amazing being out in the world again. After a year really and truly not leaving our house it seems to have taken no time at all […]
Vin Rouge!!!
I am still not sure what is Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and now add in Cary to the mix according to a new friend – You never know what a day will bring… After missing a pick up at the tailor yesterday we dropped in on our way to Guglhupf ( where we had a […]
Durham
To begin, it was a long drive – we had a fabulous dessert near Richmond at Dunbri’s – a little bit of a British theme and cakes, and soft serve and candies and and and-, and ok bbq at The Bone in Gainesville VA. Now, this morning I went out on my own, took a […]
Jean Claude 2
We took a walk up to Jean Claude 2 for a croque madame and some mousse. The mousse was fantastic, one of the best we have had. The city is still quiet and people wear their masks and many storefronts are empty. Its a worry with businesses going virtual.. who knows what will happen. Brad […]

Luce Center at the Met

Momma raccoon in Central Park
We took a drive through Queens across the Island
A very long drive in search of a post office. What we found was a great surprise – a pretzel shop. This young man owns two pretzel factories and seems to make a living at it. He was adorable and made us a special batch of super salty buttery pretzels. We drove all over queens […]
Arthur Ave, Milk Bar, China town, all on a rainy day
One super nice thing about having a car in NYC is on a rainy day is that you can hop in and go from one end of town to the other. Today, we started up on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx where we had heard there were wonderful Italian shops – delis, restaurants, bakeries. Then […]
