Have you ever gone back to a neighborhood you haven\u2019t been in for years and feel as if you\u2019re in a foreign land? I went to West Broadway a few days ago. How dare they change the hood without my permission. It used to be industrial with hamburger joints on every corner. Now, it\u2019s packed with sleek tearooms that favor kale, green tea and Italian words. I ducked into Sanctuary, how appropriate, and had a canoe like sandwich called smoked salmon crostino. Then on to Whitney Houston Biennial: Greatest Love of All<\/strong>, a vibrant women\u2019s biennial – over 150 women strong.<\/p>\n

Have you watched the HBO adaptation of Liane Moriarty\u2019s Big Little Lies<\/em>? The book is set in Australia and the children attend a Catholic school. In the HBO version, it\u2019s been moved to California and the school is non-sectarian. The book has a delicious familiar yet exotic quality. The HBO version is one hundred percent American and therefore predictable. Terrific cast. Reese Witherspoon brings to life perfectly the fiesty Madeline. She also uses the word, fuck, continuously. Fascinating to hear the inclusion of a word that was forbidden or used sparingly or used as an example of how not to express yourself. I\u2019m sorry that fuck has lost its virginity.<\/p>\n

To the Frick Collection for one of its intimate posh concerts. The baritone, Christopher Purves, was making his New York recital debut and he was accompanied by Simon Lepper. We were treated to selections from Handel\u2019s operas: Agrippina,<\/em> Acis and Galatea<\/em> as well as Schubert and Mussorgsky. The Frick mails the tickets to each concert. No e-mail. No mass mailings. You keep an eye out for that small cream envelope that arrives religiously on time. The Frick includes a potted art appreciation paragraph about various museum objects that have a similar background as the music being presented. Since this concert included sections of pastoral opera, we were directed to the Fragonard Room\u2019s pastoral scenes.
