Today was full of great moments all over the city…enjoying Jackson Square Park’s (in Greenwich Village) calm beauty…plant/coffee stores, delish gelato, special meringue snacks from a great bakery (thanks to my main walking tour guide’s rec I Know A Guy), a quick smash burger at Lovely’s on 9th, always a hello for my guy Terrence and his Mom who own Mr. Green Laundry on 9th, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child for my soul, hotel change to my fav hotel The Civilian, tasty Middle

One of my absolute musts on my visits is a solid diner breakfast not exciting but always hits the spot

What a surprise and a blast to see Aaron Bartz back at Harry Potter and the Cursed Child this afternoon. His Draco Malfoy is magnificent and such a joyful part of my experience seeing this play over and over #32 #dracomalfoy #harrypotterandthecursedchild

Heck yeah I’m back….visit #32 to Hogwarts to see the epic and impeccable Aaron Bartz as Draco…Tom is fantastic but there’s no one like Aaron!!

“Becky Shaw” with Audrey

Audrey and I had a fresh and delicious lunch at my favorite healthy spot in the city and topped it off with the lightest and most decadent cupcakes from Little Cupcake Bakeshop their Hostess copy cupcake stands on its own!!!

“Fallen Angels” was hilarious and whimsical….Rose Byrne was gorgeous and her physical comedy was hilarious….Audrey and I weren’t sure what to expect but it was fun to sit in a boxed seat and we were glad we saw this limited run comedy….Samantha Sehter - it wasn’t the same without you

Noah, Audrey and I tried to grab a burger at JG Melon but the wait was too long….but we were very satisfied with some smooth and satisfying Italian food at Mezzaluna….spinach gnocchi, artichoke ravioli and Noah’s pasta dish were all so fricking good and we had a great time catching up

Is it really a trip to the city if I don’t go to The Outsiders stage door and say hi to the uber talented and sweet Josh Strobl?! #doitforjohnny #theoutsiders

Audrey and I had a great morning of going to the Brant Foundation’s East Village space exhibition of Keith Haring art…”an exhibition of works by the American artist. Revisiting Haring’s formative years of 1980–1983, the exhibition traces his meteoric rise from the subways of New York to international fame….this is the neighborhood where a young Haring began his career.”

“Becky Shaw” was a wild, funny, disturbing, dysfunctional family oriented ride….just WOW! You didn’t know whether to laugh, be appalled, or cheer at any given moment of the play…reminded me of “Appropriate” with Sarah Paulson from 2024. Bonus of Patrick Ball from “The Pitt” and Madeline Brewer from “The Handmaid’s Tale” as two of the five person cast…all five cast members were exceptional (Linda Emond, Lauren Patten and Alden Ehrenreich).

Excited to see this limited run of “Fallen Angels” w/ Rose Byrne (missing you being here Samantha Sehter )

Finally seeing Ali in “The Lost Boys”….been a fan since he was in “Tommy” two years ago and I’m beyond excited to see him in this show

A wonderful visit to the Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera exhibit today at the MoMA The Museum of Modern Art….I absolutely love her art so much and I’m now a fan of his as well….such a beautiful collection from this couple

Stumbled across a fun Lexus promo and got some free matcha, snacks and merch and grabbed a delish blood orange tea and summer rolls as I’m getting in my steps…and don’t forget the great views!

Obligatory cheesy grin in Times Square, last picture of the Colbert studio (his final show is Thurs, 5/21 ) and some gelato before the MOMA

“The Lost Boys” was so very, very cool…modern, captivating, high energy, sinister, deliciously fun, funny, and perfect for Gen X-ers like me and definitely vampire lovers! Ali Louis Bourzgui was a fantastic villain as ringleader David….I’ve been a fan since I saw him onstage in “Tommy” two years ago and he is Tony-nominated for this role (deservedly so!)….loved the set so much and loved the creativity put into this show!

This is what happens when you change your mind at the last minute for dinner and head to Hells Kitchen…you run into a Tony nominee from a Broadway show you love….Sam Tutty is absolutely as adorable in person as he is in “Two Strangers Carry A Cake Across New York”…… And the other pic (I swear!) I took earlier this afternoon, just for funsies….I swear I think I manifested meeting him today
