I finally got to the Neue Galerie when it was open. It\u2019s one of those museums with detailed and unique hours of operation.\u00a0 <\/span>The exhibit many tourists and I were interested in was Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. In addition to being great artists, they both have an agonizing history. They both died in 1918. Klimt made it to his fifties. Schiele, at twenty-eight, died in the flu epidemic. Some twenty years later, Klimt\u2019s work was admired and swiped by the Nazis. \u00a0Schiele\u2019s work was condemned because he drew the human figure in great detail.<\/p>\n

Who knew the Whitney was closed on Tuesday?We arrived about 2 p.m. wondering where everybody was. They weren\u2019t at the Whitney. We had a peculiar lunch in theirground floor restaurant, Untitled. It\u2019s open even if the museum is closed because now every public domain sells food. After a very slim and sleek wait person extolled the Arctic Char Poke and Japanese Pancake we ordered the two dishes.<\/i> They were tasty if tapas tiny. Their pedigrees were more substantial than the food. It struck us as hilarious. All we had wanted was an open museum and lunch. Instead, we had a near religious experience.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0We escaped to the nearby High Line, almost deserted because of the inclement \u00a0weather.<\/p>\n

Rated Black: An American Requiem<\/em> was presented at Next Door at New York Theatre Workshop. Kareen M. Lucas, the writer and performer, was accompanied by a terrific four person choir. Lucas went through the travails of being an American black. Rated Black<\/em> is part three of a trilogy that examines the life of a black Brooklyn poet. It was rousing and funny. The music was great.<\/p>\n

Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation is a great organization with an unwieldy name. It\u2019s holding a St Denis Hotel demonstration to save the structure today, Saturday,\u00a0 <\/span>9\/29\/18 at noon. As much as I hate demonstrations, I\u2019ll be at 11th and Broadway in front of the 1853 hotel. Scary, the way glassy office towers are dominating our landscape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
