My sister shared this view from her West Village apartment window tonight 9/11. The moon and the memorial tribute beams of light. You’d have to be in NJ to see both streams.
My sister took me by this specialty store in the West Village last week– Myers of Keswick (click for shop history) -all things British! It was our last day in the city.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is coming September 6th and every single car of the Grand Central Shuttle was covered with ads for it. Mary asked, I wonder how much this ad campaign costs? My thought? A lot!
These colorfully painted spheres caught my eye as we walked to the Riverfront Park along the Hudson. here are a few examples.
“WALK TO THE WATER IN HUDSON SQUARE
The Hudson Square BID (Business Improvement District) and artist Clementine Martinez have created a way-finding system that uses outdoor art pieces to take viewers through a historical walking tour of the neighborhood. The exhibit leads viewers to the river past 20 painted spheres on a path along Spring and Washington streets to the new crossing to Hudson River Park just south of the Google building at St. John’s Terminal. The artworks are accompanied by a digital guide that dive deeper into the events and places that inspired each artwork with members of the community sharing stories about the neighborhood” from the TriBeCa Citizen
Original Plum Torte Recipe by Marian Burros debuted in 1983. It’s an annual ritual as summer comes to a close and the Italian Plums are perfection. You need twelve, cut in half.
After an almost nine hour train ride from Pittsburgh, we arrived in NYC just before five and when we got to Mary’s she had all the ingredients prepared. Prema placed the plums on top of the batter. sprinkled the cinnamon sugar on top.
Nine years ago I posted a plum torte
Blog follower and good friend of my sister sent me this ice cream cone photo today.
I asked if she’d consider being guest blogger and she agreed!
Here’s what guest blogger Mary Dellin wrote-
I’m the devoted aunt who did a test run to the Statue of Liberty one week before her family visited NYC to learn what to expect. At the end, rewarded myself with an ice cream cone that briefly looked like the Statue’s torch. It melted quickly, dripping onto my pants. But it was delicious, and worth it!
A festive dessert for holidays.
Purchased at Rocco’s on Bleecker Street at Easter

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.”
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.
