The perfect restaurant: Gene\u2019s on 11th Street. Imagine a place that has the serenity of soft lighting, no music and perfect, unobtrusive service by trained waiters. Gene\u2019s has been around a long time. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised to find Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemon at one of the side tables.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t make it to Third Street Music School to meet Carlina Rivera. My bad! Carlina Rivera is the councilwoman for the second district of the New York City Council. GVSHP, The Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, sponsored a recent meet and greet with Rivera. She supports protecting historic districts. Go, Rivera!<\/p>\n

Instead, I scooted down the street to Second Avenue and Second Street To Anthology Film Archives to attend OBSERVING THE AVANT-GARDE: PETER MOORE & THE 1960s: A SLIDE LECTURE BY BARBARA MOORE. Judson Dance \u00a0was featured. \u00a0Lots of performances on stage and off were photographed by Peter Moore. Anthology Film Archives is devoted to left wing causes across the globe. It was the perfect place to see turbulent scenes from the 1960s. Afterwards, the Judson gang went to Huertas on First Avenue for great tapas.<\/p>\n

A friend and I slept through Phantom Plot. I mean Phantom Thread.<\/em><\/p>\n

Juilliard Jazz Orchestra gave a short (50 minutes) but vibrant performance honoring Mary Lou Williams.<\/p>\n

Friday evening we sat in the nineteenth century parlor of the Merchant\u2019s House, interested and a little anxious to be cast under the spell of mentalist Kent Axell. He explained that the Tredwells, the original owners of the house, might have explored psychic events. Spiritualism, the belief that the living can talk to the dead, was a popular form of parlor entertainment. Axell was energetic, involved the audience and performed some eerily accurate stunts such as answering sealed questions and reading minds.\u00a0He has a big personality and advertises himself on his website as \u201cLiar for Hire\u201d. The evening was lots of fun.<\/p>\n

Graphic Lessons<\/strong>: Nine-year-old Dana is the only witness who overhears a person fighting with George Lopez, the soon to be stabbed Windsor School kitchen worker. Who can she tell?

Graphic Lessons<\/strong>: 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
