May 29 was smothered in rain and gusty winds. It was also the day of The Frick Collection\u2019s annual garden party.\u00a0 <\/span>A friend and I have attended and enjoyed the party for years. Given the weather, I emailed him: Are we crazy? I was angling for him to suggest we not go. I\u2019m so glad he didn\u2019t. The Frick came up trumps. The Collection was turned into a vast indoor party. We parked ourselves on a bench in the Garden Court, under the gaze of a statue of a nymph and ate delicious hors d’oeuvres. Like most museums the Frick doesn\u2019t serve red wine because it stains. So we made do with champagne. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

May 30 was another rainy day. I waded through a gutter or two to keep a dinner engagement at the National Arts Club. Once there, it was worth it. The Club has a warm, luscious atmosphere, especially welcoming on a cold, wet night. Lovely art work in the dining room, in addition to fine food and wine. Is there anything more conducive to interesting conversations?<\/p>\n
