Lincoln Center Basement

If you ever have the great fortune 🎱 of visiting Lincoln Center make sure to visit the bowels of the facility to learn more of Lincoln’s history. Also, stop on each floor to see the actual costumes from performances of former eras.

And if you don’t have this great 🎱 here’s a sampling…

Pavarotti costume in Aida

What a large man he was..

And his female counterparts costume in this opera..

And the basement sampling..

La Boheme

What history..

Harry Connick,jr.

The real reason for the NYC visit was to see Harry Connick, jr., at Lincoln Center singing 🎵 Cole Porter.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

There’s just something about Harry.. While not a musician or actor follower, always check him out when info appears about him. He’s just one of those great human beings that you can’t help but ❤️. And his concert this afternoon made me love him even more.

🩷❤️🧡💛💚💛🩵💙💜

The only missing element was his wife Jill and his 3 girls, now young women, were not in the audience as they were several years ago when he performed on Broadway. But they were probably at the evening show.

He filled the house 🏡 and his performance sublime.

My daughter attended with me sneaking some shots.. enjoy..

Over the moon.. his 23 yo daughter is a videographer, and her fingerprints were all over this concert.

Thanks, Harry

Death Becomes Her

What a hoot!

Thought I ordered a ticket 🎟️ in the morning, however, the email proving my purchase never arrived. Guess I didn’t punch all the buttons right, or Broadway Direct which had the best prices needs to upgrade their system?.?.

💰💰💰💰💰

So rather than spend $175, (only seats left), decided to go for the standing room only ticket, $40.

Here’s my perch, B3.

And it was an amazing view. I swayed, danced, and leaned on the wall, to keep my legs from tiring. It worked!!!!

The cast..

The 2 gals
Again
Individually

And Michelle Williams to boot..

What a fun show, so many laughs that you miss them as the jokes are fast and furious. Recommend this show if you need some comedy in these wicked times, and don’t we all?

Now that I’ve seen the play will check out the movie with a young Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep.

I’m sure there will be many enormous belly laughs with that as well.

🤣😆🤭😹😂😜🤣😆😆😜😂😹🤭

Don’t miss it when you are in town.

Post Movie 🎥 Hunger

Since I hadn’t eaten since morning found myself famished post movie. Always bring food with me, however my 🍎 and pistachios of 2 pm had long left me.

Lincoln Center is a beautiful but expensive area with a burrito 🌯 or taco 🌮 or gyro from the food truck ranging $14 to $16. So in looking for a spot away from the drizzle came across down this cute restaurant with an exceptional, and friendly wait staff.

9th Avenue

Interior Shot..

What a comfortable space, many great 🥪

Here I partook (is that a word?), in a happy hour margarita for $9, and an amazing bowl of French Onion Soup. Yum……

What a treat…on to the next show, stay tuned…

Early Valentines 💘

Traveled 🧳 to NYC 🚌 for a whirlwind weekend. After an hour of sleep 💤 boarded the Coach Bus 🚌 in Monticello and was on my way!

Arriving at 3 and did a mad dash on the one train to Film at Lincoln Center 144 West 65th Street.

For $17 sat in the best theater in the world 🌎

Here I saw a movie 🎥 with Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton about a woman helping her friend die with dignity. The Room Next Door, was beautifully done with exceptional acting by these 2 veterans.

It made one think of their own mortality.

Check out this theater when you visit. It always provides movies of inspiration.🍿

The Worm 🐛 Got to Him

Guess Robert F Kennedy didn’t do too well with his congressional hearings. It started when he didn’t know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid, and it was a straight down hill flight ✈️ from then on.

Even cousin Caroline has come out against him.

Thanks, Caroline.

🪖🎖️🪖🎖️🪖🪖🎖️🪖🎖️

Of course on the Pete H side he is now in charge of the largest workforce in the world.🌎

Senator Tillis of NC encouraged Pete’s sister in law to disclose damming evidence against him then voted for him anyway.

What a guy!

Does any man in politics have any ⚽️⚽️🏀🏀⚾️🥎🎾🏐🎾🥎⚾️🏈🎾🥎⚾️🏈🏀⚽️?

GOAT made it…

Only Meryl could do this…

🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Meryl Streep’s badass wildfire evacuation revealed “My aunt Meryl Streep received an order to evacuate on January 8, but when she tried to leave, she discovered that a large tree had fallen over in her driveway, blocking her only exit. she borrowed wire cutters from a neighbor, cut a car-size hole in the fence she shared with the neighbors on the other side, and drove through their yard to escape,” nephew Abe Streep wrote yesterday for New York Magazine. OMG thank you for being you Meryl!*

You go girl!!!!

Joe’s New Job

💼 💼 💼 💼 💼

Have you heard the news? The rapist president will be indicting Joe Biden very soon as he did not give himself a pardon. The rapist blames him for all the injustices and problems of our nation.

🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

I believe our little leprechaun Joe knew this was coming. Over 50 years in public service am sure he did. For him this will be a time to spend his retirement years in front of the press and public giving news conferences and telling all the glories of what his administration did.

What an enormous amount of free press for the Democratic Party!!

🎉🥳🎈🎊🎈🥳🎉🍾🎊🎈🥳🎉🍾🎊🎈🥳

It’s Been A Week..

And each day gets worse.

Isn’t red the color of communism?

It is terrifying to read what the rapist is doing and how everyone is falling in line, or if you don’t the rapist will get you.

Voices like the female minister who spoke directly to him from the pulpit are few. People fear, but we all knew this was coming.

I wonder when all those angry yahoos who are brainwashed, and voted for him are going to wake up?

Better yet is anyone in DC going to grow a spine?

Only when it affects them will they rise up, and one wonders if even then.

If only that bullet was a little to the left.
