An August Night in New York City

August 3, 2018 by WendyB

I’ve lived in New York City since 1986, and — just last night — I finally took a stellar photo of Manhattan. Good things come to those who wait 32 years!

Seen in New York City

January 25, 2016 by WendyB

While doing errands last week — before the big snow — I took a few photos of things that entertained me. This No Parking sign on 5th Avenue always makes me laugh. I promise you that if you go to the Rockefeller Center skating rink on Valentine’s Day, you’ll see at least one proposal if…

What Wendy Wore: Vintage Ungaro to “Hamilton”

September 22, 2015 by WendyB

MrB and I went to the Broadway production of hot-hot-hot musical Hamilton tonight. Despite the uniformly rave reviews for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hip-hop interpretation of Ron Chernow’s 2005 biography of Alexander Hamilton, I was dreading the evening a little. I was originally supposed to see Hamilton on March 26, when it was downtown at the Public…

Parsons plays God, who is wrestling with “wrath-management” issues while he’s in the midst of updating the Ten Commandments. The by-the-book angel Gabriel is played by Tim Kazurinsky…

What Wendy Wore: Coney Island Adventure

August 21, 2013 by WendyB

Gorgeous designer Stacy Lomman and I have talked about going back to Coney Island since our last visit in 2010.  Yesterday, we finally did it! We spent a couple of hours on the beach. Stacy worked on her tan and I worked on maintaining my pallor. Then we went to the boardwalk so I could…

Resolved: Keep Track of Important Dates

December 7, 2012 by WendyB

My non-New Year’s Resolution — going into effect immediately — is to better organize my calendar. I tend to keep too much information in my head or in email, thinking, “There’s no way I can forget about something as important as that!” Then, of course, I miss or almost miss the event. It happened with…

Sweet Art by Sarah Ashley Longshore

March 30, 2012 by WendyB

When my gorgeous friend Debra invited me and designer/blogger Stacy Lomman to an art opening yesterday, I barely glanced at the invitation before saying yes. That was for the best because it was fun being surprised by La Boîte à Biscuits, which a gallery of sorts that offers a “seasonal biscuits collection and unique artwork.”…

Things to Do in New York Tonight

September 23, 2010 by WendyB

I recently caught 1985’s Desperately Seeking Susan on television and was impressed by how well it held up. Seeing the movie again made me intensely nostalgic for the era’s dirtier, more creative, less fast-fashion downtown New York, which the Wall Street Journal calls “the film’s uncredited co-star, alongside Rosanna Arquette and Madonna.” I was obsessed…
