It was a busy Saturday. The Stuyvesant Town Flea Market, put on hold since 9\/11, was held on a glorious spring day. The Oval, which is the center of the Stuyvesant complex, was packed with stalls, anything and everything Stuy Town residents wanted to get rid of, families and dogs. In the late afternoon I went to Judson Memorial Church for the wedding of the century. Two men, beloved by the congregation, were being united. One of the grooms\u2019 fathers made a profound remark: Marriage does not give you license to change your partner. In marriage, you support your partner.<\/p>\n

The Frick concert season ended with a wonderful display of piano brilliance by the Spanish pianist, Javier Perianes. He treated us to Schubert and Debussy. The two last pieces by Albania and de Falla were spectacular.<\/p>\n

Delice & Sarrason on Christopher Street is a hot vegan restaurant. I thought I\u2019d stepped into Alice in Wonderland.<\/em> Remember the mad hatter\u2019s tea party? Everyone at the table was on the same wave length except Alice. That\u2019s how I felt at Delice and Sarrason. People were licking their young, beautiful lips over coq au vin, beef bourguignon, coquilles St. Jacques BUT the coq, beef and coquilles were made with vegetable fibers, tapioca and potato. If vegans don\u2019t eat meat why do they name their non-meat dishes steak frites (three types of mushrooms)? In the 1940\u2019s Ruth McKenny and her sister Eileen, Ohio girls, came to NYC and lived in the same area as Delice & Sarrason. The musical Wonderful Town<\/em> was based on McKenny\u2019s New Yorker stories and many of the scenes take place in their dump of an apartment on Christopher.<\/p>\n

Highlights in Jazz ended its season with The Joe Bushkin Centennial. His son-in-law, Bob Merrill, was master of ceremonies. We were treated to performances by Nicki Parrott and Spike Winner.<\/p>\n

Graphic Lessons: Recent thirty-five-year-old widow Millie Fitzgerald applies for a private school teaching job, faints on a stabbed and dying man, deals with the only witness to the stabbing – a troubled nine year old, develops a crush on a NYPD detective and her dog dies.<\/p>\n

Graphic Lessons: Nine year old Dana is the only witness who overhears three people fighting with George Lopez, the soon to be stabbed Windsor School kitchen worker. Who can she tell? Her mother who never listens or accuses her of lying? Her father who\u2019s started a new family in Singapore?<\/p>\n

Graphic Lessons: Something\u2019s eating at NYPD Detective Steve Kulchek: a failed marriage? surviving a car bomb? his girlfriend marrying his corrupt boss? screwing up an important case? It doesn\u2019t matter because he\u2019s relentless.<\/p>\n
