Steinway Tower is Tall and Thin
I try to keep the blog IRT, but I took this shot Sunday and returned to Pittsburgh Monday. Thought the image was interesting enough to share today.
Steinway Tower is “At 1,428 feet, it is also one of the tallest buildings in the Western hemisphere, standing just short of two others in New York City: The 1,776-foot-tall One World Trade Center and the 1,550-foot-tall Central Park Tower.”

Spring Break NYC Part 2
Spring Break in NYC
After nine hours sitting on the train from Pittsburgh and a delicious dinner, my sister and I walked five miles along the Hudson River. The northern lights were supposed to be happening between ten and two am but weren’t visible. We did see the Worm Moon (the worms are wiggling around in the warmed earth now) and the twinkling lights in the night.
Black and White or Half and Half Cookies
My sister sent me a Black and White Cookie Natural Rubber Baby Teether she saw and purchased at MOMA ( Museum of Modern Art) in New York City.
She gave me that NYC bag a few years ago which features the Black and White Cookies. My friend Eileen says in Massachusetts they’re called Half and a Half Cookies. Underneath these items is Ina Garten’s cookbook Modern Comfort Food with the recipe. I found it here at the Barefoot Contessa’s website in case you want to bake a batch.

They are found in New York City, Boston, and Florida but I found some small ones on sale in Ohio and Pittsburgh.
Editors addition from dc in a Florida 3/03/2024
“Black & white cookies are famous because they’re such a quintessential New York dessert. It’s believed that the cookie was invented at a Manhattan bakery called Glaser’s, which was founded on the Upper East Side by Bavarian immigrants in 1902 and closed in 2018.”
Our family enjoys them on occasion see blog post here
