Vendy
The Vendy Award is the Emmy or Oscar equivalent in the NYC food truck world. Thousands of people buy tickets to the taste-off held on Governor’s Island; winners are selected by them and a panel of celebrity judges that includes … Continue reading
Dancing on Top of the World
My Bhutan itinerary didn’t include any dance viewing which I casually mentioned to our group leader. Eureka! Towards the end of the trip he announced that there was a festival at the Dochula Pass where we would be en route … Continue reading
Learning from The Bard
I’m taking a course at Hunter College called Shakespeare’s Heroines. Hunter is a wonderful resource, (and handy– only a few blocks away from where I live), although they don’t make it easy to register as what’s known as a ‘senior … Continue reading

We, the Jury
For years, I wasn’t summoned. Then, fifteen years ago, I started being called every two years like clockwork. Pain though it is, it’s the one civic duty required of every U.S. citizen. My worst experience as a juror was about … Continue reading
