We had Betty’s half birthday this week. She got some dog bakery bones
What I saw in the theater
This is Georgian food from Chito Gvrito in the Gramercy area of NYC. First off- food delicious!!! We had Khachapuri (stuffed bread) Khinkali (meat dumplings) and Ojakhuri (pork and potatos)
My daughter and I had breakfast at Sunday-Sunday and we forgot to take pics. But the food and coffees were awesome
Gallery Hopping on Orchard Street- Giving a big shout out to the Owners of McKenzie Fine Art and Thomas Nickles Project. The owners of both these galleries took the time to talk to my daughter about the art and artists they represent. Wonderful experience.
Goodnight Moon was my daughters favorite book when she was young. When we read that Fort Maker’s, a gallery on Orchard St. in the Lower East Side had done a room display, we knew we had to see it. Love…
As seen on the streets of NYC- note- the crowd shot- I was doing that for my Insta challenge and it wasn’t until I got home that I noticed the RBG mural in the background…
Faicco’s Italian Butcher has been around forever- and they make some of the best Italian sandwiches around. After my Husband and I went to the movies yesterday, we grabbed some to take home. We have the Italian (with roasted peppers) and the Chicken Parm
New York Botanic Garden (Bronx)
This was Washington Square Part (Village) yesterday. Hundreds of people- New Yorkers have decided that we are open for business-
Here’s the questions I posed this week, and the answers.

What a great montage! The city seems to think the covid crisis is over, it seems. I have not even heard of that movie – was it any good? Happy Easter! 🙂
Starting Tuesday the vaccine is open to everyone over 16. Vaccination process going smoother than I thought it would. People want to enjoy life again. The Courier is based on a true story about the Cold War right before Cuban Missile crisis. My husband and I enjoyed it very much. Good story, good script, good acting. If you like this type of movie it’s an excellent choice. The animated shorts were cute too
Goodness, you folk are not messing about! I think you and the UK are so far ahead of the rest of the world in vaccination people that it rightly puts the rest of us to shame. I’m over 50 and at best can hope for a jab by end July.
Yes, that sounds like my type of film!! I shall keep an eye out for it if/when cinemas re-ope here. Thank you.
Goodnight Moon was a favorite in our home, too. I loved that exhibit! Everyone was out yesterday here too. Pleasant weather does that to Midwesterners. I love your weekend posts with all the pictures. 🙂
It was so cool! My daughter and I were saying that we wish there could be more beloved picture book exhibitions because it was so fun to see it come to life and be able to walk around
Love the Goodnight Moon! Thankfully, I’m moving through SF during the week when most people are still working so I haven’t seen big crowds with or without masks and everywhere I have gone, there are masks and distance. I love when I “find” things in pictures I’ve taken. Thanks again for showing us New York!
Lovely, pics, as always, LA. That sandwich from Faicco’s looks amazing, and the flower pics from the Botanical Garden are beautiful. Have a wonderful week, my friend.
Oh how very interesting it all is! I always marvel at all the cool ethnic foods you get to try and all the art exhibits…fantastic! I loved to read Goodnight Moon to my daughter too…..fun to see those shots of the exhibit for that. 🙂
Thanks for all your pictures of being out and about. We’re almost there. I got my second shot yesterday at the NFL stadium with thousands of other people when I thought most would be enjoying Easter dinner.
I know I do! I’m looking at flying to Seattle to visit my mom after missing her 88 and 89 birthdays. I can get great flights and hotel, but there’s no guarantee I get into her assisted living. Hopefully soon.

Great pictures, little worried about the crowds of people. I assume they are all masked? Betty looking cute and Kitty looks unimpressed.

People are mainly wearing masks, but I can’t imagine that’s lasting too much longer.

There should be others! Although not all books have such a strong sense of color and place as this particular book.

People are still masking, for the most part. Saturday was the first I’d seen of large gatherings of people, but I know that’s just going to go up….
