Treats not tricks. Isn\u2019t it a hoot the way Halloween enchants NYC? Going into stores and seeing clerks wearing horns and mustaches, watching a girl on 14th Street swinging an axe and hoping it\u2019s made of rubber and part of a costume. Who can resist a kid carrying a pumpkin?
\nMy late friend, Al Gescheidt, was crazy about cats and was the wizard of the dark room. Here are a few (clean) examples of his work:<\/p>\n

\nA friend and I swanned around the Art\/ Antiques show at the Park Avenue Armory. After two glasses of lovely champagne I had the nerve to try on a $28,000 bracelet.<\/p>\n

Steve Kulchek is interested in batting averages and I am interested in the folklore of baseball. Fashion note about the world series: in Kansas City the Mets wore dull gray uniforms. The Royals were in sparkling white and blue. In NYC, the Royals wore the dull gray uniforms and the Mets were in sparky orange (the Giants) and blue (the Dodgers) uniforms.
\nSteve was rooting for the Mets, of course, being a NYC guy. He plays shortstop on the NYPD team.
\nWelcome to the Belle Epoque on Irving Place. Lady Mendl\u2019s Tea Salon is housed in The Inn at Irving Place. It serves lovely finger food and has a charming, old world atmosphere. Lady Mendl was Elsie De Wolf, an early interior decorator who worked for Henry Clay Frick Frick and Stanford White.<\/p>\n
