From New York’s Metropolitan Opera House to Milan’s La Scale
My behind the scenes visit to The Met was led by Robert. P., a knowledgeable friend who knows his stuff cold and imparts info to opera buffs and limited-English speakers who never heard of Tosca with equal friendliness. The Met, … Continue reading
Out of Body
To be entirely truthful, my overriding feeling during my visit to the Rubin Museum for a press opening was more out of head. The premise of the entire museum for 2018 is that the past, future and present are fluidly … Continue reading
Designing Women–and Men
There has been a giant uptick of design with, by and for people with a wide range of physical, cognitive, and sensory abilities with ordinary aging part of the mix. To that end, the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, always a gem, has … Continue reading
Christmas in Kathmandu
To reach Bhutan I flew via Hong Kong into Kathmandu, Nepal. I’d been there years ago but found a very different city, this one clogged with traffic and choked in dust, largely from construction in response to the horrific April, … Continue reading

Who Was Sylvia?
The Grolier Club, 47 East 60th Street, (with an entrance that looks—but isn’t—impassable due to nearby construction), has been around for one hundred and twenty five years. The Grolier celebrates books and prints and was one of the … Continue reading
Blueish
Visiting a college friend in New Haven, I was warmly welcomed both by her and co-host, Beau. Beau is a Papillon, (note the butterfly-shaped ears): he is also the only dog I know who spurns food. Weight Watchers would find … Continue reading
Frankly Speaking
Frank Lloyd Wright changed the way we build and the way we live. Visiting Kentuck Knob and Fallingwater, both in western Pennsylvania south of Pittsburgh, I came away with greater appreciation for his work and a better sense of the … Continue reading
